*sigh*

Peace. Quiet. A distinct lack of chaos. FINALLY.

After almost 17 months of planning, excitement, planning, anticipation, planning and WOO HOOOO, our wedding(s) has come and gone. Much as we tried not to let the tedium of planning take over our lives, to a degree, it still did. Especially toward the end there, these last few months. We were hard-pressed to go a day without having some wedding related project to complete, appointment to go to, or shopping to do. Mind you, I’m not complaining, as it was all very exciting, and the rush of it all was so much fun… I had to remind myself to take time to stop and enjoy it, lest it be over before I even knew it.

And now it’s over….

And now we have peace.

As much as I loved the planning and all that surrounded the wedding itself, I think the tranquility and contentedness that comes with the marriage itself is far more satisfying. Granted, I acknowledge that we’re still in the honeymoon phase, so of COURSE it’s going to be good right now. But more than that, it just feels right. It feels like this is what a happy home and a healthy marriage is supposed to feel like. And it’s just good.

So now it’s time to sit back, take a deep breath, and just enjoy what lies ahead.
