How My Wedding Came a Lot Sooner Than Expected
It was Labor Day weekend of 2016 when I had met my husband for the first time. I had went to meet a friend of his who had never been to New York City before and my husband was there to give him the tour. I had met the friend through an online dating site and thought it was good to meet. Now the friend had mentioned to me that my now husband was going to tag along since it was his first time in New York City and he just wanted to see around Manhattan so I said that it was ok and we had met that Saturday before Labor Day.

Step Your Fucking Game up, People
Deciding to make a lifelong commitment to someone is a huge deal and should not be taken lightly, so fucking congrats to you and yours. However, a thing you should know right off the bat is shit’s going to get fucking stressful. There is no way around it. Capitalism has taken over this occasion and the sooner you realize it’s not all going to be a fairy tale, the better (whether the stress comes from seeing your debt rising or the fact that you are going to have to have hard conversations with your family, i.e. guest list). Shit is going to get real, and it is going to get real fast. So my advice to you is take every chance you have to celebrate and celebrate big. And the first and obvious celebration is the proposal.
