We tried to book our dream wedding venue a year and a half in advance.

Apparently, Saturdays in October are reserved for people who started planning their weddings in kindergarten.

We all grow up dreaming of that fairy tale 'happily ever after'.

And then you realize 'happily ever after' mostly involves happily ever after deciding whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher.

They say that love makes the world go 'round,

but in marriage, it's mostly about remembering whose turn it is to take out the trash.

Dating, I've always thought, is a lot like an audition. You're bringing your A-game, showing off your best qualities, and hoping for a callback.

Marriage, on the other hand, is when you get the part, but quickly discover you're now also the director, costume designer, and chief caterer for the rest of the run.
