A wise friend once told me that expectation is the thief of happiness. When you expect too much, you’re not living the life you have, you’re living the life you wish for, and this leaves you permanently dissatisfied. As we planned our pandemic wedding, I fully understood the truth of those words. Circumstances beyond our control had stripped us of our expectations, so all we had was what was possible within the ever-fluctuating present moment. Moran, Joe (20 February 2021).

Uncomplicated, straightforward, really-quite-glaringly-obvious love. The simplicity of a day with fewer guests only added to that magic.
