Anyone who has flown with a toddler mid-meltdown knows the exact feeling of every head turning your way. This one goes further: an oversold flight, a family split across the plane, a two-year-old next to strangers, and a sprint down the aisle during takeoff. If your stomach just dropped a little, that is the point.

 

Then there is the wedding with no DJ and no speeches, just a playlist and a room that somehow felt more present for it. No polished best man story, no maid of honour buildup, and nobody missed it. Which begs the question worth answering for yourself: what tradition are you keeping out of habit rather than choice.
