I was talking to the groom about his expectations for married life

He said he's looking forward to having a partner in crime, and I think he's going to get that – every time they look at their joint bank statement

Marriage is like a great restaurant

It starts with a great menu, but after a while, you're just happy to get a seat at the table and not have to do the dishes

They say love is all you need, but I think marriage is more like a DIY project from a flat-pack furniture store.

You start with enthusiasm, follow vague instructions, argue over which part goes where, and eventually, you end up with something beautiful... and maybe a few extra pieces you're not sure about.

We started wedding planning thinking about our future together.

Now we're just wondering if our future includes a second mortgage for the cake.
