I'm getting married this weekend. I'm pretty excited. I'm nervous too, but not about her. Nervous about our mothers. They're both sweet, but trying to hard to make things perfect. They are driving everyone a bit crazy with "but what if we changed this to that, wouldn't it be nice?" The road to mental breakdown is paved with second guessing the cake cutting knife.

Weddings are where your mother-in-law relives everything she wishes went right with her own wedding.

But she's soooo nice about it that saying no feels like drowning kittens. It's gonna be great though, the big stuff is all in motion and we are trying to just relax about the small stuff.

Let the wookie win, yo. You benefit not at all by making a stand.

Definitely a better plan than my sister's wedding advice: "sometimes people need to be crushed. Crush their dreams. It's the only effective leadership."

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Mine is a little more than two weeks away. Woohoo!

Fortunately my fiancee and I are both pushing 50, so our families are chill and just happy we found each other.

Life is good, man.
