Missionaries have been returning from all over the world, catching the attention of over 68% of the single BYU females, who have begun actively updating their Pinterest wedding boards.

“I had a three-year plan for BYU that included waiting for my missionary,” said Hayeleigh Holland. “Now that my boyfriend, Raustin, has been released, I need to speed up my plans so we can get married and I can graduate as soon as possible to start a family.”

Hayeleigh’s boyfriend, Raustin, is now considering marriage to be his new mission, and has made his family members his companions in order to keep him set on this mission assignment.

“It didn’t take long for him to ask for my permission to marry my daughter,” said Hayeleigh’s father, Joseph Holland. “I’d bet on a proposal any hour now. There is a lot for us to do to get everything ready for the wedding next week.”

Church authorities consider this to be a positive outcome from COVID-19, and is in the process of creating several new student married wards for the Provo area.
