365 days project 2. Day 46. Married life: expectations and reality


   Months before the wedding some people tell you there will be a big, wonderful change in your life once you get married, that you will be happier, more at peace and more in love with your spouse. Others tell you you'll have to start thinking about "us" instead of "me" and that that will make life harder, that you will have to overcome a lot of difficulties that before getting married you had no idea of. So here you are: a multitude of expectations that other people instill in you. After the wedding they will all want to know how you feel after the BIG CHANGE in your life. I'll tell you what I feel: 
   I am very happy that Oliver and I moved in together a year before the wedding. This way we got used to each other and to all our daily habits, we learned to work in a team, to plan and solve problems together, to do everything together. So by the time the wedding came we were already very used to the couple life. What has changed after the wedding? Nothing. Absolutely nothing We were married in our hearts ever since we moved in together. It's not waaay more wonderful or way more difficult now. It's just as amazing as it was before. Because we know we were made for each other and that our story is a fairytale we are both so thankful for. 
   Sure, if we hadn't lived together before the wedding I bet some things would have felt like they changed but things change anyhow during a life span. Things change daily. But some things are meant to always be the same. Like our love for each other and our endless happiness when we see each other in the evening after work We still cook together and have dinners on our balcony, have philosophical talks about life in the candlelight, plan our meals, watch movies together, have breakfasts together when we can, surprise each other and send each other cute messages during the day. Nothing has changed. 
   Sometimes the wedding is just the big celebration of the love story and life goes on the same At least in our case
