Married!

I'm now married!!

I fully intend to write about the wedding with some pictures once I get the pictures. But that might be a little while still.

I wanted to write a brief update though.

It's funny.  Because it almost doesn't seem real.  It's like a big birthday -- you have this image of someone who's 16, 21, 40, 80, or whatever, but when those birthdays actually come (though I've only experienced though 21) you're still just the same person as the day before.  You don't suddenly transform into that image you had of what it would be like or the image you put on people who are various ages when you were younger.  It's kinda the same after the wedding.  There's certainly huge life changes.  I now live with the girl I love, sharing our home and everything we have with each other.  I'm irreversibly committed to love her forever.  But we're still just the same people as we were two weeks ago.  We still enjoy teasing each other, playing cards while watching a TV series on Netflix, cuddling and watching a movie, going swimming, cooking together, and much more -- the same things we did before.  We're still the same people. But now that dear girl is my wife, and I'm her husband.

I absolutely love it though!  One thing that I've already enjoyed is that everyone has been so much more positive.  I've received quite a bit of good, positive, beneficial advice and encouragement.  As opposed to when we were dating when it seemed like lots of people's immediate response was skepticism. We're young. We've only known each other 2 years. We're different.  We have no idea what we're getting ourselves into. etc.  All of which is true, I suppose.  But now, regardless of any of those things and anything else, there's one clear direction to move -- forward.  No turning back.  And that's very nice.

I need to go now, but will try to write more soon.
