o one is right when it comes to destination weddings. Itโs a big ask, requesting people take time off work and fly off to take a cruise just to see you get married, and theyโre perfectly justified in saying no if they donโt have the time, the money, or simply the inclination.

There's so many paintings that when I look at them, the look on the lady's face is like so clear and her body language and her posture or their physical situation is so immediately recognizable.
