“Meg and Matt’s intimate summer elopement in Annapolis wasn’t initially the wedding they had planned,” says Erinne Sitz, their photographer of E. Losinio Photography. But after cancelling their plans amidst the Covid pandemic, the Texas couple decided instead to marry in a super intimate ceremony at Meg’s parents’ house in Annapolis.
“With their families present and friends joining via Zoom, the two tied the knot overlooking the water in a beautiful, romantic ceremony,” says Sitz. The biggest surprise for the day though, wasn’t the change in plans themselves, but the portrait session, orchestrated by Meg’s mom. While the couple had planned to take post-ceremony portraits at a small nearby beach, the mother-of-the-bride instead chartered a private boat cruise, “complete with champagne.”
For Joan Phillips, the hardest part was seeing her patients on a stretcher, the paramedics carrying them away, the doors of the ambulance closing behind them. When her nursing home patients got COVID-19, they couldn’t stay in the nursing assistant’s care they could infect others. They had to be taken to the hospital.
Phillips worried about who would coax them to eat or cheer them up. She worried that the virus could take them away in a flash. She always thought, as she watched the ambulance pull away, about holding their hands again when they returned.
But none of them did.

Sex trafficking and its victims often go unnoticed in the Caribbean because of a lack of information and limited training among law enforcement officials, two experts told a US Embassy forum Monday.
UWI Cave Hill Senior Lecturer Dr Joan Phillips and Grenadian Crown prosecutor Brendon LaTouche made the comment during Monday’s lunchtime lecture, hosted by the embassy on social media.
The lecture, to mark US
National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, sought to give details on the current state of human trafficking in the region and how the crime preys on the most vulnerable in society.
Despite public opinion, human trafficking is a very real thing in the Caribbean, according to the lecturer.
