We started planning our dream wedding with a modest budget of $10,000

Now our dream wedding is just that – a dream, and our budget is having a nightmare

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

We found the perfect wedding venue – historical, elegant, and had beautiful gardens.

Then they told us the price, and suddenly a picnic blanket in the park seemed like a very viable 'rustic chic' option.

Before we got married, my wife would spend an hour getting ready for our dates.

Now, if she brushes her hair before we leave the house, I know it's a special occasion.
