After the Wedding

Well I bet all of you brides are wondering what your life will be consumed with after the wedding. I know how it feels to dedicate a year and a half to planning and then suddenly the wedding is done and over with. I got married August 1st 2009 and it is really nice to be married and such a relief to be done with all the planning. It does feel weird to not have wedding planning to do.

Life after the wedding is pretty cool. Once you have found “the one” and it is official that the two of you have decided to spend your lives together you enter a whole new stage of life.

I am not talking about babies yet - but that will play a part in the future if that is what you both agree upon. I am talking about just getting used to the fact that you are now married and phrases like “my husband” are now a big part of your vocabulary. I still feel weird saying “husband” but I am sure it will get more comfortable over time.  Instead of being known as the fiancé,  I am now officially the wife and we both have rings on our fingers to show for it!

Life is going to through you curve balls (being a new married couple) so be prepared to handle them the best way possible. Don’t expect life to change just because your last name did. Always look to the future and remember not to take each other for granted.

Good luck newly married couples! I will continue to write about married life now that I am no longer a bride-to-be, but now a bride I will also continue to share stories and offer advice to brides as my journey continues!
