They say love is all you need, but I think marriage is more like a DIY project from a flat-pack furniture store.

You start with enthusiasm, follow vague instructions, argue over which part goes where, and eventually, you end up with something beautiful... and maybe a few extra pieces you're not sure about.

Before they met their partner, [Groom/Bride] was known for being incredibly decisive and independent.

Now, I hear them spend an hour discussing whether the 'greige' or 'taupe' throw pillow better complements the sofa.

My wife and I have been married long enough that we've truly mastered shared living spaces.

She gets the bedroom closet, and I get the laundry basket in the hall.

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.
