Serve with pride: No matter the size of your celebration, joy is the main course.
Store memories carefully: Cherish the moments of laughter and love; they’ll age beautifully.
Reheat when needed: Whenever you feel envy creeping back, revisit what truly mattered — the love, not the luxury.
Variations:
The Budget Buffet: Instead of a traditional wedding, host a potluck celebration where everyone contributes a dish — and a memory.
The DIY Delight: Handcraft your decorations, playlists, or favors. Personal touches often taste better than pricey ones.
The Quiet Ceremony Soufflé: Skip the crowd. A private ceremony with heartfelt vows can rise higher than a grand banquet.
