It signifies the day we commit the rest of our lives to another human being to love, cherish, and honor until death do us part." "Extravagant weddings result in increased stress and distraction. Wedding days are stressful enough adding dozens of unnecessary frills and expenses makes them even more so." "Marital happiness has nothing to do with your wedding ceremony. It has everything to do with the weeks and years and life together after." Episode references: The Hope Effect: https://www.hopeeffect.com Learn more about your ad choices.
