So in 27 days from the moment I am writing this I will be surrounded by what friends and family made the track out here a piece of polished metal on my finger silently asking myself "What the heck am I getting into" then catching the exact same look from my wife and knowing that I am not alone, and because of this everything will turn out okay.
It will turn out okay right? I am not going to wake up one morning with my left shoe shoved in my mouth and the other up my back end will I? With size 16 shoes that would be more unpleasant then I can imagine. The truth is I suspect that marriage life will have many ups and downs, trials and tribulations, headaches and tears, smiles and hugs...so on and so forth. As the last several months have shown me I am more then capable of making mistakes, lets all just hope I am more capable of learning from them and not repeating them to many times.
So with that in mind I decided to write a blog about my adventures, and yes misadventures as well when it comes to being married. Of course out of respect I won't be airing any dirty laundry or spats until they have been resolved and what is placed in this blog has been reviewed and checked upon by my other half.
I doubt that by airing out unresolved issues will result in a successful marriage. Which after all a successful happy marriage should be the goal. Not one where I am left whimpering in a corner crying. My fiancee already scares me enough. Seriously she will jump out at me from the dark with the sole aim of making me scream like a teenage girl and I suspect wet my pants.
Perhaps I could have started this blog the day after I proposed. This would have made for some interesting reading especially over the last few weeks. Actually I lie. Because if I was keeping a blog of the stress of the last few months, of wedding, family, work, finances and the rest of the stuff on my plate the end result would be me learning as man foul and obscure curses as I can to ensure your not seeing the same words repeated over and over again.
I will attempt though to summarize the highlights over the next few weeks as the big day approaches. Just to bring you the reader onto the same page.
So after August 15th what will my future hold? Well besides entering into marriage with a wonderful woman much much more. We plan on starting our own business, starting a family, getting a house, traveling and seeing the world and so much more.
You know looking back at what it took to get to this moment and looking ahead I have this feeling that it's been easy so far.
With that said I am going to say goodnight.
