They say marriage is all about compromise.

Which, in our house, means I get to control the thermostat... when my wife isn't looking.

We wanted a small, intimate wedding.

Then we tried to trim the guest list and realized our definition of 'immediate family' included second cousins twice removed and everyone we'd ever met in line for coffee.

I've learned that marriage is all about finding creative ways to ask for permission

like, 'Honey, can I turn the thermostat down?' is actually just code for 'Can I still be in charge of something?'

I asked the groom how he knew the bride was the one for him

He said, 'She's the only person who doesn't mind that I'm still a work in progress, and by that, I mean she's agreed to be my editor for the next 50 years.'
