Love & Relationships
If you're in, or have been in a committed relationship, I'd like to hear your stories. My own was a simple backyard wedding on a gorgeous day in June. No muss, very little fuss. I was determined not to be a Bridezilla. The result was absolutely perfect- a party, with our friends and family. Our guests had great fun and everything was very fluid. No toasts, no formality, and none of that ghastly cake-smashing crap.

  • We were in our 50's so we did not need the glitz or the gifts.
