I Do: The key to a great love story and a great marriage.

Marriage is not just an agreement between two lovers, but it is a never-ending cycle of compromise, sacrifice, and committed love that two individuals must attain for the rest of their lives. Love is the most important quality that two people share in a marriage, no matter what the circumstances bring for them. To love someone full-heartedly, unconditionally, and completely is the greatest gift anyone could ever receive from someone. When deciding whether or not marriage is the right choice for you and your significant other, you have to put aside your own wants and needs and look at the bigger picture: could you spend the rest of your life with this person?

Loving someone is not completely science. Yes, the chemistry you both share with one another is important, but there is so much more to that. Love is something that is so powerful and yet so complicated, and many people fall out of love every single day. Some people do not take the time to value their partner's dreams, wants, and needs and they would rather focus on themselves a little more than necessary. While it is important to still stay true to yourself and value what you need, you have to be there for your partner just as much and a little more than you would for yourself. If you can give that much love and attention to your partner, then he or she will return the same love in favor of you.

You will have your issues, but you will overcome those issues eventually. You will argue, you will fight, and you may be angry at times. The key to a successful relationship is to never give up, even despite the worst of circumstances. The love you both share with one another is something that can never be taken away by anyone, and only you two understand that.

The best love of all is shared together by two individuals with a strong foundation. When you know you love someone, you can truly feel it. Every inch of your soul feels a sense of warmth whenever you see them, and you begin to value every little detail. To love someone is one of the most magnificent offerings you could ever have. Everything about them feels like home, and you truly feel safe with them.

To love someone is one of the most influential actions you will ever possibly do, and there is no true definition to it. So just remember that when all seems lost, dark, or confusing, the person you love will always be there during those times. They will take your best interest to heart, and you will never feel alone.

Wicked Part One: A Film That Leaves You Changed "For Good"

 I was 17, on a flight to the Bahamas for a family vacation, when I first listened to the Wicked Broadway soundtrack. Staring out the window at the endless clouds, I felt like I was soaring right alongside Elphaba as she defied gravity. That music stayed with me, becoming a soundtrack to a summer I’ll never forget. Years later, sitting in the audience at Playhouse Square, I watched the story come to life on stage, and it changed me “for good.” So, when the movie finally came out, I walked into the theater with high hopes—and let me tell you, I was utterly blown away. Wicked: Part 1 was released in November 2024, directed by Jon M. Chu, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. It’s a fantasy musical adaptation of the Broadway hit and novel by Gregory Maguire. It starts with celebrating the Wicked Witch of the West’s downfall after melting and perishing to her doom. Although all seems fine and celebratory in the Land of Oz, we later learn that the Wicked Witch, ...

Bride Survival Guide: The Truth About Being a Bride

Congratulations! You're engaged!  Now is supposed to be the happiest time of your life. You get to marry the man or woman you love, plan a giant party (or a small one, if you prefer) with all your close friends and family, and wear the most beautiful gown. If any of these things make you anxious, you are not alone. Many brides feel overwhelmed during their "Engaged Era," and many don't get the support they need when feeling this way.  While this is an exhilarating time, your nerves and anxieties are valid. The second you get that ring on your finger, your personal life and boundaries go right out the door, and everyone wants to know every detail, even some that you haven't even planned out or thought about yet! When is the date? Where did you get your dress? What does it look like? But here's the thing: no one asks how you are doing.  Here is my hot take: society has made weddings so impractical and unreasonable that any bride-to-be feels overwhelmed. Everythi...

Rifts and Rays: Restoring Kindness in a Fractured World

 In a world where things are often dark and negativity creeps around every corner, there is always a rift in the clouds for the sun to appear. Today, we are experiencing more cloudy days than sunny. People no longer respect boundaries or treat others with respect because they do not see eye to eye with other individuals. This is creating a rift in our world.  When did people stop caring about treating others the way we want to be treated? When did people think that it is okay to put others down because they are different from us? When was this ever okay to accept in our society? The answer is never. We, as humans, act upon how we observe others. When we see other individuals we love tearing someone else down, we do the same. The pattern continues until later down the line someone wakes up and stops it, breaking the cycle and starting a new pattern from scratch. We all have different religious affiliations and beliefs, but when did any of that mean disrespecting your neighbor?...
