Very cheeky of you. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys.

Now, today's first story comes from Unhappy Cell 1143.

I 24 female got married very recently to my husband, 28 male. About a year before we got married,

We did extensive renovations on the house and put a lot of thought, time, care and money into it.

It is our dream home, sanctuary, a forever home we don't plan to let go of. My cousin 33 female

recently got engaged in is going to get married

this year. She and I are very different in personality, so we have never been close. Our families,

however, could not be closer. Her dad and mine are brothers. Some background. She and her husband,

33 male, both currently live with their respective partners.

She was pursuing a nursing degree but left the program. She is not working right now, but

her husband works. I don't know how much he makes but it's an average income job. I mention

this because they want to throw a big, extravagant wedding. I have my personal opinion about this, but I also understand that my opinion doesn't matter.

It's their wedding, their life.

I've never voiced anything other than a congratulations on the engagement.

The issue is when there is an expectation that family should help them achieve this.

I eloped with my husband and while we didn't have a public wedding, we did throw an intimate reception on our new property.

We live in a very quiet, scenic rural area on a small acreage.

It is private and thoughtfully landscaped.
