  • The self-control I displayed on my wedding day was admirable, if I do say so myself!
  • Save the dates went out 1.5 years in advance as we had guests from other states and countries. We made it clear in a kind way that it was a child-free wedding.

  • Mere minutes after the ceremony we were basking in the glow and were being hurried by our photographers. P&S were hovering over by the side and it puzzled me so I greeted them.

  • My sibling refuses to invite them to their wedding next year. Lesson learned.

  • I was upset because my husband and I worked so hard to pay for this wedding- we did it all ourselves. And because I literally had got married not two minutes before. And because they told me on the DAY.
