Today is the one year celebration of marriage with my beautiful wife. It has been a hectic but ultimately awesome year, which in all honesty, I was not expecting. I only say this because I have always been told that the first years of marriage can be extremely challenging. Well, since Kristina is thirty-nine weeks pregnant, the true challenges are surely yet to come. In the past year, however, the trials of being university students with very little income has been miniscule compared to the blessings of marriage.
For those of you who do not personally know me, last year Kristina and I got married in the comfort of our own living room with a pastor, Kristy’s parents, two witnesses, and twelve dozen roses after a two-day engagement. No, she was not pregnant (that would happen three months later). There just comes a point when you know you want to be with the person you love for the rest of your life - with no regrets. Neither of us are a fan of big weddings, and so we had actually decided to elope - at the last minute we were convinced to have some traditional aspect and so we did get a pastor. And so here we are - are only debts are academic rather than because of a wedding - married one year later. It may not be the twenty-year later “you’re still married!” achievement, but we both feel we’re still going strong and will last until - excuse the cliche - death do us part.
Kristina - I love you.
