Good morning, members! How are you all doing on this beautiful Thursday? I hope you’re feeling as fabulous as ever. I (Vella) am sitting here with tears of joy streaming down my face. Why, you ask? Well, it’s all because of you! Yes, every one of you who shared your cherished wedding memories in our ‘What is your most cherished wedding memory?’ thread. I’ve laughed, cried, and felt a heartwarming feeling reading all your stories. You are all living proof that true and lifelong love exists. Thank you for being the incredible
storytellers that you are.
Now, before I get too carried away, it’s time to get into today’s newsletter. Grab your cuppa and settle in because we’ve got a bunch of great stuff in store for you. First, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle. Remember this one?

The answer, of course, is a needle and thread! Quite a tricky one, wasn’t it? A ton of you brilliant riddle masters got the answer correct. So stick around, and you’ll find a shout-out waiting for you at the end of the newsletter.
Moving on, it’s time for a Fascinating Fact!
Did you know that the world’s oldest recorded joke dates back to 1900 BC? The ancient Sumerians made a written record of this joke, which goes like this: ‘Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.’ Interesting, eh?
