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

We started planning our wedding, dreaming of an intimate gathering with just close family and friends.

Then both our mothers handed us their 'non-negotiable' guest lists, and now we're sending out save-the-dates to people who barely know *them*.

They say marriage is a grand adventure, a journey of two souls discovering the world together.

And much like any well-planned road trip, I'm sure there will be moments where you question the GPS, argue over the snack budget, and occasionally wonder if you locked the back door before you left.

My wife and I used to have long, romantic conversations every night when we were dating.

Now, our deepest late-night discussions usually revolve around whose turn it is to start the dishwasher.
