    Hi hive,

    I was chatting with my mom the other week and she said something that I thought was so amazing, and really makes me happy to think about.

    My fiance and I were apart on-and-off for about three months this summer while we were in the process of moving across the country. We had lived together for three years before this move, and been together for four before that, and I was telling my mom that it was hard to be apart from him, and that I missed him very much. I said, "I don't know how to explain it, but we just got so much closer in these three years that we've lived together. Not that we weren't close before, and not that we weren't in love before, but our lives are so intertwined now, and I feel really bonded to him."

    She said, "Well, I have to tell you. In a good marriage, it's only going to get better for the rest of your life. On the day I married your dad, I thought I couldn't possibly love him any more than I did then. I never could have imagined how much more I would love him and how much closer we would be after twenty-seven years of being married. You'll go through good times and bad times in your marriage, but everything you go through together, even the bad things, and come out of successfully will make you closer. You can't even imagine how you're going to feel about him in twenty-five years."

    Isn't that such a beautiful and exciting thing to think about?? I thought it was such a great reminder of why we do all this wedding planning. What about you bees? Do you have any happy thoughts on marriage today?

    awwwww very sweet.

    my parents just thanked me for their 25th anniversary card and told me it's the first one they've gotten since their 2nd or 3rd anniversary. They said that it's nice to be acknowledged for reaching the big numbers by your own kid =]

    It just made me feel good to make then feel good and know that i'm proud of them for sticking it out through all the tough times the past few years

    My FI and I are fairly religious and I always like it when we pray together.  Sometimes, I think about 5 years from now, 10 years from now, 25 years from now...we will still be praying together.  And I think about how our prayers will change with time, yet it will always be a constant in our lives.   No matter how bad our days will get or how big our fight, I am comforted in knowing that at the end of the day, not matter what, we're going to pray.

    That's a GREAT happy thought to keep ahold of while you're in the midst of planning a wedding.  There are days that go by and I really wonder why in the world he hasn't backed out by now!  LOL!  But that's just the crazy bride side of me...lucky for me, he knows that soon all of this craziness will die down and things will be back to normal again. 

    Can't wait for that day.  Less than 60 days away now!

    @Charmbracelet, I think that's really nice too! It is so exciting to me to think about all the great things that a future with someone will bring.

    After a minor anxiety attack last night (I always seem to have them right around 11pm.  Great timing I know!), I asked my SO what he was looking forward to about being married.  He immediately said "Being a family."  He said life with me is always fun, so he is looking forward to more fun as we become a family and start having kids.  Really helped put the little things I was stressing about into perspective.  I am sooo lucky to have him in my life!
