We showed our wedding budget to our parents and asked for their input

Now we're having a wedding and buying them a house

Marriage is like a recipe for your favorite dish

It starts out sweet, takes a little heat, and after a while, you're not sure what you've got, but you're stuck with it and it's still kind of delicious.

We thought we were being frugal by having the wedding at home

Until we had to take out a second mortgage to accommodate the guest list and the therapist for my mother-in-law

I remember when the groom used to spend his Saturdays glued to the TV, watching sports marathons and playing video games all day long.

Now, he spends his Saturdays helping the bride choose curtain fabric and learning the difference between ecru and ivory. That's not just love; that's dedication, folks.
