Well, it has been over two weeks now since Lori and I officially tied the knot. We’re fresh off of the wedding nuptials and even fresher off of the honeymoon…which was fabulous, by the way!
I’m not naive enough to think that marriage is going to be peaches ‘n cream all the time, but right now, it is nothing but wonderful. It is great to have that other half be your other half. There were many times in my life that I wondered if I would ever get married…if I’d ever find that one special girl. Luckily, I did and I’m thankful every day for that. It’s a wonderful experience.
My marriage, however, has put many things into perspective. Not for me or Lori or others wholly, but in relation to issues. I would imagine the joy Lori and I experienced over two weeks ago is something that is a bit robbed from those who cannot marry. That includes gays, loners and, sure, even Roman Catholic priests among others. The priest and loner marriage is a minor issue compared to the gay one. I’m not sure how much my own ability to marry will affect my view on homosexual marriage. I think it will take time to sort that out and see the affects of how my views will change on that particular issue.
Hmm indeed.
Today marks the one-week countdown to my big wedding day. Nerves have yet to cripple me, but there is some general nervousness going on. No matter the wonderfulness that is wrapped up in the marriage thing, it is still a huge thing: a huge life-altering event. Plus, the whole set-up for the wedding has its own fair share of stresses and headaches (which Lori has experienced far more than me!) I guess, I’m just ready. It’s time. I’m glad to be settling down with my love.
One week and counting…
