Who knew it would be my favorite wedding gift?

When the moment arrived, I sat stiffly and braced myself for the spray of freezing cold water to hit my delicate parts.

I can’t recall the first time I heard about or saw a bidet. I knew bidets existed, but I thought they were a strange habit of wealthy Europeans. I had seen them a few times in hotels, but I feared using them since I didn’t know how they worked.

A few years ago, a house we rented for vacation on Catalina Island had one. The bidet was an older model, and it just seemed a little gross to me. I did not attempt to use it.

Last year I got married. We both had our own homes before the marriage, so we didn’t need anything. We had a wedding registry with a limited number of items, but there weren't many options for our guests.
