THE SEND OFF
THE GREATEST RIDE
stay seated and keep your arms andlegs inside at all times .
Marriage , now that ' s a ride worth waiting in a long line for ! Unlike many other events in life , marriage is a new beginning – a celebration of love , commitment , and the promise of a shared future . It ' s like you are jumping onto an exciting rollercoaster ride with your favorite person . You are at the start of something amazing , like the grand opening of a theme park called " Happily Ever After ."
Let ' s not forget the mini-loops on this big ride – like when you successfully assemble a piece of IKEA furniture without getting into an argument . These accomplishments are like winning the giant teddy bear prize at the carnival game of adulting ! Every anniversary will become a reminder of how you survived another year of deciding what on earth to have for dinner .
You won ’ t be separate entities anymore ; you will be more of a dynamic duo , partners in crime , and each other ' s biggest cheerleaders . Marriage is the day when you legally sign up for a lifetime of dad jokes , snuggles , and toothpaste cap debates . Oh , and the merging of families ! That ’ s a fun one . You will be blending different flavors to create a new , even more delicious ( and really loud ) recipe .
Traditions ? These are a concoction all of your own ! Whether you host weekly “ Game Nights " or the " Friday Night Dance-Off ," these quirks make your story truly yours .
Get ready for this lifelong rollercoaster full of twists , turns and a bumpy hill or two . Your ups and downs together will be filled with romance , comedy , probably a little drama , and so much love . enjoy the ride !
