It was the best day ever, but it cost a lot to get there. This summer I also had four jobs, flew to multiple academic conferences, set up a new apartment (almost entirely by myself), and planned a wedding. My fiancé, who was similarly busy this summer, tried to contribute as much as he could, but I nevertheless got a taste of being the primary breadwinner… and the primary homemaker. Plus, as a bride, I became a wedding planner, too.
