I can get behind that way of thinking, Toby. And it’s got to be said that your wedding was indeed a fantastic day.

I don’t think it’s supposed to be the best as in ‘the rest of the days are crap’, but more in a sense that ‘I love my spouse and the life we have had together; the wedding was a terrific party with all of our family and friends that marked the beginning of that journey. It was the best day of my life’. Just like the birth of a child is the best day. Not because having a kid sucks the rest of the time, but quite the opposite. It’s the day that changed your life in a very positive direction. I’m not sure you are supposed to realize the full importance, or ‘best day factor’ until later in life.

Well, don’t get me wrong; I think the wedding will still be pretty good.

Exactly. The marriage is way more important than the wedding. And I’m not spending hundreds of dollars on renting seat covers or on favours or an aisle runner or anything stupid like that.

Unless your definition of ‘The greatest day of your life’ is to feel like every single person you are doing business with on that day is ripping you off in a major way, I think you’re right. I wish they’d just be honest and call it ‘The most expensive day of your life’.

Bah. Wedding humbug. Can’t wait for the marriage, though.
