Rhett did not forget about the rehearsal dinner. Forgetting about the rehearsal dinner would imply that he had at some point found the peace of mind to forget the fact he’d sworn up and down that he had found his own date, a date named Danny, to keep his grandmother and her gossiping circle of bridge friends and their many grandchildren out of his personal life. He did not forget. He was just mildly taken aback when he woke up from his afternoon nap to a message on his phone from his sister, reminding him of the address and double checking that he had remembered to pick up a few extra bags of ice.

My cousin, Kristen Burns, had been dating her boyfriend, Nate Colbert, for two years. On their regular morning hike at seven in the morning, in the mountains of Simi Valley, California, they decided to take a different trail on Mount McCoy.

Her wedding was the following October, in 2016, but she had asked me to fly out in January to help her find the dress of her dreams.

Throughout his ministry on earth, Jesus taught a number of his lessons through parables, or short and simple stories used to explain a certain moral or spiritual lesson. Many of these parables were relatable to the Jewish people of Jesus’ time, and were taught in a way that the common people could understand them. Some allude to the nature of the Kingdom of God, while others teach people to treat others.

Before the civil war in 1991, Mogadishu used to be like any other capital city in the world. It was not different from Roma, Italy. Mogadishu traditionally served as a commercial and financial center in East Africa. Tourists used to love visiting Mogadishu and lie down on the beach to sunbathe. In those old days, local Somalis and foreigners used to enjoy the city. The city had beautiful beachfront hotels, resorts such as Jazzira, and Lido, museums, and cathedrals. Its people used to dance away at a nightclub. Back then, Mogadishu residents used to spend time swimming and having picnics and then, in the evening, they would go out to the cinema or theater.
