Aye. Happily married for 16 years now. No regrets.

We didn’t have a hugely expensive wedding. Small church and venue. Immediate family and friends. Save your money for a nice honeymoon. Still the best holiday ever.

The cliche is true, you have to work at a marriage but this would be true of any long term relationship. Respect and communication, emotional intimacy, shared experiences - these have shored us up well so far.
