My brother-in-law, Chris, is getting married today, which of course makes me think about my wedding day. Funny how other people's weddings makes people think about themselves (I observed this behaviour on my wedding day as well). I used to be really into weddings. I loved every little detail and thought the grander the better. Now I mostly think they are a big waste of money and that people should probably save their cash for something important like a house. Apparently the romantic in me has disappeared...
If I have any advice for Chris and his awesome wife-to-be, Zeina, it would be that it's okay to go to sleep angry. Really. Sometimes you just need to get some rest and deal with it in the morning. But be sure to deal with whatever it was that got you upset. The other piece of advice I would give is that after all the passion and lust and newlywed bliss has diminished, you must make your friendship a priority and embrace compromise. Without those two things, when the going gets tough, you will be sunk. Also, have as much sex as possible. Sex solves a lot of problems.
Good luck you crazy kids! Let's eat some cake!
