A busy day

What a busy day today was. I started working at 9 am and finished it at 5 o'clock sharp , i thought nobody was going to ask me a favor but i was wrong. A relative asked me to take her to a lot of houses to hand in a few wedding invitations. I drove about a couple of hours and when i finished I was already sick and tired of it. Definitely, I won't hand in the wedding invitations when i get married.
I was wrong when i thought that all the logistics were easy. Planning a wedding is a headache, I think that when i get marry i'll have a party with just relatives and friends. Having a party with less than 50 people is convenient for me, because there's no need to spend all your savings on a party.
What would you have if you got married?
