I've been thinking, marriage is like a great recipe

it takes a little bit of love, a lot of patience, and somehow, no matter what you put in, the in-laws are always a surprise ingredient

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

like saying 'honey, can I watch the game?' when what I really mean is 'can I ignore you for three hours?'

We started planning our wedding wanting a small, intimate gathering with just our nearest and dearest.

Turns out, 'nearest and dearest' for our families includes anyone we've ever shared a holiday dinner with, plus their plus-ones, and a few neighbors who 'always asked about us.'

We tried to create the perfect wedding seating chart

but it turns out you can't actually seat 'no drama' at a table by itself
