Today is our two-week anniversary, but it feels like mere minutes ago that we stood on that beach in front of our families, vowing to love and honor each other forever.
In these two weeks, we have really settled into this new world of marriage. Granted, our day-to-day lives are not all that different; but still, something is different. We still look at each other sometimes and say, "Hey, we got married!" as if the other had forgotten. And we continue to call each other "Husband" and "Wife" rather than "Brandon" and "Char" just to help us get used to saying those funny-sounding words.
One of the greatest feelings for me, as I celebrate this two-week mark, is that getting married is over now and being married has begun. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be, and we were so fortunate to be able to spend an whole weekend with our families, basking in the summer sun and the just-married joy that surrounded us in Key West. But it was still a lot to plan, and it wasn't without its stresses. So I'm happy to have moved on from that place on my path where I was getting married.
It's not completely over yet, though. We still have two parties; and, again, we are so fortunate to have so much love in our lives that it is requiring us three events to really finish this business of getting married. But even while I continue to clean up after the last event and plan for the next one, I have an overwhelming sense of calm contentment. And all I can say is that, two weeks in, I love being married.
