I've known the groom for many years, and I've seen him prepare for many challenges, but nothing could have prepared him for marriage.

But in all fairness, I think the only thing he's more committed to than the bride is his fantasy football league.

Before they met, I remember [Groom's Name] had very strong opinions about interior design, convinced his apartment was a masterpiece of masculine sophistication.

Now, he mostly just nods enthusiastically whenever [Bride's Name] holds up two different throw pillows and asks for his 'input'.

I was talking to the happy couple about their future plans

and I realized marriage is like a GPS: it starts with a clear direction, but after a few years, it's just a voice saying 'recalculating' over and over again

Before [Bride's Name] came along, [Groom's Name]'s five-year plan mostly involved saving up for a new gaming console or perhaps a slightly less dented car.

Now, his vision for the future includes things like joint bank accounts, matching towels, and figuring out the optimal feng shui for their spice rack.
