I feel sorry for them. My wife and I also got married early in May. Going out to dinner on our anniversary is always a bear because we have to compete with everyone going out for Mother’s Day. Flowers are always sky-high too.
I was told that May is traditionally an unlucky month to get married in. Now I know why. It’s not that the marriage won’t last (we’ve been married over 30 years). It’s just that it is hard to celebrate it properly without a major crowd around.
I doubt they will ever have a hard time getting a table, and the cost of flowers probably matters little to them.
Our anniversary is April 28, we have to compete with a gazillion prom goers at the decent restaurants and for flowers.
Kind of fun though, seeing them all come in nervous as heck and trying to look like this is nothing but then seeing the sweat beads roll down their necks.
In Texas, May - especially outdoors - is particularly unlucky what with the F4 and F5s roaring all over the place.
Best wishes for the couple.
