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.'

We tried to approach our wedding seating chart like a fun, strategic puzzle.

Turns out, it was more like hostage negotiations between warring family factions, with gravy boats as the only leverage.

Marriage is like a game of Jenga

you start with a solid foundation, and then you take turns removing pieces until it all comes crashing down, but somehow you're still stuck with each other

When we were dating, my husband would surprise me with flowers and thoughtful gifts.

Now, I consider it a romantic gesture if he just remembers to put his dirty clothes *in* the hamper.
