I haven't posted anything about the wedding to date simply because it's taken me this long to process everything that day was. The first few weeks after the honeymoon were more challenging than I expected them to be, with life throwing us curve ball after curve ball that we certainly weren't expecting to deal with so quickly. Luckily things have calmed down over the last couple of weeks and Otis and I have really enjoyed this thing called Marriage.

The wedding was perfect. Really. I couldn't have asked for anything more wonderful. It was everything I wanted and even more than I never expected it to be. Looking over the pictures the last few days, I've seen a wedding more beautiful than I could have ever planned, and I feel so blessed for that to have been my wedding. Plus I have a really hot husband.

Despite the first few trying weeks, I've really enjoyed being married. It's a ton of fun, but mostly very comforting knowing that I'm going home to someone who loves me every day, and knowing that person will always be there. The only downside I've been able to find is that now I instantaneously dissolve into tears if I watch something that has the male romantic figure suffering in any way. It's like some switch was flipped in me. A switch that causes tears to stream uncontrollably down my face.

I've gotten some curious comments regarding marriage from people. I think you can really tell how people feel about their marriage or certain periods of their marriage by the passing comments they make. Example: yesterday two separate people were shocked when, after asking me how I was enjoying marriage, I told them it was fun. Their response was that "fun" was not how they would have described their first year of marriage. I find that so puzzling. I guess it's just the dynamics of their relationships, but Otis and I have a ton of fun together, and I love knowing that we have our whole lives to share that fun. Some have said to me that the first 6 months were great, then it gets harder. Maybe. I don't know. We'll just have to take it one day at a time, something I think we're doing pretty well so far. I'm excited to live today with him, and to discover what each new day holds for us. And I hope that one day, many years from now, I can look back and say that, overall, being married has been the best experience of my life.
