Creating our wedding seating chart felt less like planning a party and more like a high-stakes game of diplomatic chess.

We ended up just putting everyone's name in a hat and letting fate decide. Much less therapy needed.

We told our families we wanted a simple, stress-free wedding.

They responded by submitting a combined 15-page document outlining their 'gentle suggestions' and 'absolute requirements.'

When we were dating, my husband used to leave little love notes for me around the house.

Now, he leaves little notes, but they usually say, "The trash is full," or "Did you lock the door?"

We designed our wedding seating chart with scientific precision.

Mainly to keep Aunt Carol and Uncle Bob in separate time zones.
