Don't feel like a schmo for actually paying for a ride! For those of us crazy, er I mean lucky enough to get hitched, I did it on my wedding and honeymoon years and years ago.
Do you think I wanted to hear about that for the rest of my life? How we got bumped and how I ruined the biggest event of all time? Nah. I like my kitchen passes once in a while. You did the right thing.
