Exactly a month from today, I will be married. Any advice, tips, comments, well-wishing, cries of despair at knowing I’m taken, or insults and curses welcome.
Congratulations. I was up all night trying to think of something 'wise' to say. I decided to just tell you that I've been married almost 20 years & it has not been perfect (ups & downs, you know) but it is more wonderful each year to be w/the person you decide to spend your life with. Neither of you will no longer be children. Marrige will make a man & woman of you. You get to practice sacrifice, thoughtfulness, responsibility, and will learn how to work through a problem because you love the other person more than yourself. But, be children in your intimate moments. Forget the responsibilitys & the stress. I'll stop now before I sound like a 'How To' book. Welcome to the ranks. P.S. I didn't stay up all night, but I did want to express something profound that I'd discovered myself. :)
Here's a word from a wise man. I've taken it to heart and I believe it sums up marriage extremely well.

Congratulations, Kelly! I wish you and your bride-to-be much happiness.
ReplyDeleteMy advice is keep your marriage vows: love; honor; cherish; forsaking all others, etc.
Respect each other. Talk to each other. Enjoy each other.
