3-Year Anniversary | Charlotte Photographer
Three years ago on this day, I married the love of my life. He popped the question, and I said “Yes,” after only knowing each other for two months. We exchanged our vows in front of our friends and family at the beautiful Foxboro Bed & Breakfast after just ten months of dating. Our lives started off as a whirlwind, and it hasn’t slowed down since. We both knew going into this that there would be struggles. We didn’t want to be naive to think that we knew all there was to know about each other after such a short time together. And sure enough, there were struggles, and perhaps more than what we anticipated. But, nonetheless, there were struggles. And after our three years together as husband and I wife, I can say this for certain: I am grateful for the good times, and even more grateful for the bad. I know that may sound strange. But through the years I’ve come to realize that amidst the pain of whatever struggle it is (she’s moody, he doesn’t know how to clean up after himself, she nags him too much, or he is too bull-headed), overcoming the disagreements, arguments, tears, and pain is what brings togetherness, love, affection, and trust. Together, the bad elements work alongside the good to make all that is good even greater. If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times, “Marriage isn’t supposed to be easy.” And it’s not. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it and divorce wouldn’t even exist. I embrace all that we have gone through in these three short years. I can honestly say that I love Jon more now than I ever thought I could love someone. He was, and still is, the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Happy 3rd Anniversary, babe. I love you!
