My husband and I stuck to traditional vows on our wedding day. 3 years later, I still regret that decision.
Briefly

In 2022, a couple chose a small wedding due to the pandemic, valuing intimacy over family demands for a larger event. Despite planning together, they made many compromises to appease family rather than prioritizing their own desires. The bride envisioned her son walking her down the aisle and wanted to write her own vows, but family pressures led her to abandon that idea. The couple faced immense outside influence, detracting from their original simple celebration plan.
