I think even they're amazed. But they did it right- they didn't get to the having-kids point until they were 30 and 31, after law school, traveling, and even living in Syracuse. Smart kids, they were, I guess.

The others are good too but this is your post. I know how weird relatives can be. I hope you and Jake have a lovely wedding.

The only piece I really liked was Schmader's because you can never go wrong with Mormons and Dolly Parton in your story.

Maybe it was the mix of Atheism and touching wedding related sensitivity.
