And one of the things my own parents did right was to stay married.  Still, it took a long time for me to be able to propose. It took an equally long time for my wife to be ready to accept. Looking back now, the marriage has changed. I think you go through highs and lows. And now having kids changes the dynamic of everything you do on a daily basis.

Another minus is that it’s harder for the caterer to control the portions, because you don’t know which dishes will be more popular.
