Filed under: When Geeks Marry. My husband has been hard at work cleaning and purging the upstairs, and he came across a couple old totes of paperback books that we'd boxed up when the kids were younger and their Legos were taking over every available surface. Mine are on the left (earlier editions, I might add 😉) and his are on the right. #starwars #starwarsbooks #whengeekswed #madeforeachother #books #bookstagram #writer #writersofinstagram #writerslife

Throwback Saturday? That time when two wandering survivors found each other and a dog in the wasteland, got married, and snuck a vegan pumpkin maple cake onto the dessert table. 😎👌🍰🎶 #whengeekswed (at East End Market)

Despite everything that is going on, love is the thing that keeps us together. So much has changed since this photo was taken 8 years ago. Ana and Marc are now a family of 3, having welcomed a little bean into their lives earlier this year. I love this photo of them because it truly captures that joy so many couples feel when stepping into a new chapter of their lives. We've been cleaning out the studio of older stock to freshen the air and make physical and mental for new work. Given the pace that I've been clearing chargers, vases, and centerpiece bits (and continuing to get inquiries for projects), I'm glad to know people are keeping life moving forward. Events are still happening, albeit on a much smaller scale. People are still hopeful. That's all we can ask of each other, I think: to keep swimming as best we can, to float when we need to, and to let the river take care of the rest.

If we could have a Star Wars themed wedding.... <3

The perfect sentiment for this rainy day in Edmonton. I know you're all missing hugs as much as I am, and I'm hugging my kids extra tight today.

I was talking with my friend Scott about how the people he knew who were coping most healthily had support networks of 5-10 people that they were checking in with. Usually it's friends and family, but I've also found that newer relationships can unexpectedly blossom and deepen when one person takes the initiative. When I became ill, Scott, Funmi @fo_photography, and Kelsey @kelseybakerart called me almost every day to see how I was doing, when other friends who I'd known for many years longer did not. I don't hold anything against people who didn't call, but I am still grateful to this day that someone let me know I mattered at a time when I wasn't able to reach out myself. I read an article in Huffington Post about suicide: one of the longest running studies on prevention had to do with letter writing. The researchers tracked 2 randomised groups who had been admitted to a clinic after attempting suicide and, after they had been treated and released, one group was mailed letters on a set schedule. Fairly brief, but letting those people know someone was thinking of them, and with no obligation to respond. In the first 2 years, the suicide rate of the letter group was half that of the no letter group, and the letter group continued to have lower suicide rates even 15 years after the project start, long after the letters had stopped coming. In Charles Duhigg's "The Power of Habit" he points out connections between Rosa Parks' impact on the civil rights movement and her extensive ties in her local community.

At it's most basic, art is about the preservation of life.

"Christina is an artist in every sense of the word: she has a unique way to approach creative challenges; she is organized and meticulous about details; she also becomes personally involved in the work she does." - Ana @ana.877 We combed Ana and Marc's art, photo albums, and art collection and had custom labels made with Jones Soda. They were a big hit with the guests. @jonessodaco It's strange to be thinking about weddings. We are learning of friends and favourite businesses who are closing or who may not make it until the pandemic has run its course. As designers for events and spaces, a core part of our own offerings won't be business as usual for possibly a year or more. Fortunately, our personalising approach to design translates well to many kinds of spaces. This past month we have been working with clients who are buying new homes, renovating offices, or refreshing their home exteriors, to name a few projects. And we have been doing it by phone, video conferencing, and in person following proper social distancing procedures. I've also been ramping up my fine art practice, which I would have done anyway for the summer festivals, except now I'm implementing online selling and marketing tools. Making art at this time has a poignance that sometimes I'm compelled to fight, and other times I surrender. It's an interesting place to be! To everyone who has brought us this far, who has reached out to support our work, to visit from 2 metres away, to check in, thank you from our heart of hearts. Our whole reason for being is to connect with you, and to help you connect with each other, and however this journey ends up, we are grateful.

"Our wedding was memorable, unique and a labour of love for everyone involved." - Ana @ana.877 I'll admit: I have no idea what or who this is, but it made an interesting centerpiece.

"From our conversations and images that we shared, Christina was able to extrapolate the essences of my husband and I and the different ideas she proposed to us for our wedding felt uniquely ours." -Ana @ana.877 My favourite weddings aren't different for the sake of being different. My favourite weddings are the ones that feel the most personal. Because every couple is so unique, with individual tastes, wants and personalities, when the wedding is allowed to flow naturally from that uniqueness, it naturally acquires its own unique flavour. One of the things I loved about working with Ana and Marc was their sense of humour, both silly and clever. Comic books were the perfect motif for them, being fun, colourful, and a little bit nerdy at the same time. All the design elements for Marc and Ana's wedding were drawn from comics, from the bold colour palette and graphic shapes in their table runners, to the square plates and centerpieces composed of monster and robot toys.
