Feb 2016

to the world of married life. The day after the wedding it may hit you that one of your objectives in life is now to stay married, stay in love, or stay loving, with this person you committed to yesterday. It can be a test of everything about you, but at the same time, the most wonderful thing in the world. I've clocked 12 years, gone through hell and back and at this point, I know that he is my world and I never want to be with anyone else, and would probably not remarry.

I wish you the best, many years of happiness, and the fortitude to get over each bump that comes, and stay true to your vows.

Congratulations.
