I don't understand why people get so excited for your wedding and then expect right after you say the "I dos" everything to go down the toilet. My husband and I dated for 7 years before we tied the knot, and I honestly wouldn't change a single day of it. We had our ups and downs, like every relationship, but we stuck it out through everything. So, why are people asking if everything is going okay when we took the next step in our relationship?
I understand that in some marriages things change after you get married, but the only thing that has changed with us is the amount of love I feel for my husband. I didn't think that I could love him anymore than I already did, but I was wrong.
The weeks leading up to our big day everyone was joking with us saying things like "This is your last chance to run!" or "This is the last time you will be free!" but we didn't find it that funny. Yeah we may have let out a forced laugh or smile but thats as far as it went. The truth was, we couldn't wait to be married! We would come home and talk about how excited we were and how close the wedding was.
Not all couples look at marriage as the end to the fun and freedom in their lives. My husband and I are actually planning more adventures and trips than we ever did while we were dating. We are looking at this as the beginning of the rest of our lives together and we wouldn't change it for anything in the world!
Love,
Laura
