What’s happening:
I’m getting married on May the 4th followed by a mini-honeymoon to Disney World!
No, it wasn’t my idea. My fianceé is just amazing.
I currently run the majority of our Youtini news coverage, including articles and social media posts, and I’ll be taking some time off to…focus on the whole marriage thing!

What does this mean:
Starting tomorrow, Thursday May 1st, I will essentially be in “wedding mode” where I will be doing my best to live in the moment and away from my computer/phone
A bunch of our team members will be assisting with site work while I’m gone
Our review for The Acolyte: Wayseeker will be published on May 6th thanks to Jared from Legends Lookback and Karl, our Editor-in-Chief
If there’s immediate breaking news, other team members may be able to update our social channels, but expect the full volume of coverage to resume on May 12th

The Youtini Show will likely be on a one week hiatus while I’m gone (as the other hosts will also be at my wedding), but all of our other shows will be continuing on their usual schedules, so be sure to tune in!
I’m very blessed to be able to take time off to go marry my best friend before heading to Batuu, so have a spectacular May the 4th holiday, and I’ll see you soon!
