It got me thinking that as we’re practicing social distancing, we need to also put our efforts into enhancing technological intimacy.

Amid safety concerns surrounding the coronavirus, now more than ever, we might experience feelings of overwhelming stress, guilt, and anxiety in a period of massive uncertainty.

For the last 12 months, Brian has been carefully planning his wedding with his fiancé, Allison. The ceremony, in question, will be held at a hotel venue on Long Island, New York this coming May.
