You’ve probably seen the footage and photos coming out of Florida after Hurricane Ian ripped through the state this week. It left a lot of people stranded, homes and lives destroyed. But with any disaster of this scale you always have a bright spot of people helping each other. Here are a few of the good stories coming out of Florida that have gone viral:
Fall wedding season is here. I feel like there are SO many weddings in the fall now. Makes sense with how beautiful the weather is this time of year. Today’s mystery…. why do brides have bridesmaids?
It’s now more of a tradition than anything to give the bride moral support from her friends and family she’s closest with on her big day. They also help out with anything she needs leading up to the wedding and during the ceremony. But that wasn’t always the reason.
As legend has it way back in the day the purpose of having bridesmaids was to confuse any evil spirits who might want to harm the bride. Feels very Game of Thrones-ish.

Today is National Coffee Day. Hope you have a cup, or 8, already. Today we are wondering where coffee was first discovered and how?
The legend that has always been told is that an ancient goat herder in Ethiopia started to realize that his goats had far more energy than usual and were acting out of character. He had a theory that it was the berries they were eating from some of the trees and plants. He was right. Those “berries” turned out to be what we know today as coffee beans. At the time he brought the berries to a local monastery nearby and they discovered what they were and how they could make the coffee we know and love today.
