This week’s inspiration is based on this writeup in The Insider of “7 popular wedding traditions that are actually super creepy.” The writer, Lindsay Mack, is either a master of deadpan humor or understates everything in life. I hope it’s the former. I am amused when editors are such to slaves to style that they […]

Cyprus is a popular country for destination weddings. Great weather year-round, beautiful vistas, and holy orthodox churches who are all too happy to marry tourists, if that’s your thing.
