Forcing the things you like upon other people will be met with varied success. But, then and again, it is your day, and you should hold it how you want it But, even still, you have made somewhat of an obligation to properly feed the people who have gathered together to celebrate you, though there will be wildly different opinions of what “properly” is, and there's nothing worse than being left hungry at a wedding due to a lack of food.

This traveler is coming to the realization that her relationship with her BF might not be on the up and up. Sometimes it takes a particularly honest person to set you on the right path. It can be a close friend, a parent, or a therapist.
