Moody and real: this pragmatic wedding reading is about REAL life
Our one guarantee in life is that we’ll have both good and bad times (and death and taxes, too). The beauty of a partnership is that someone is there to help you make it through it all, the highs and the lows.

Ready to get a hanky reliving these moments? Geronimo!
