Reader, I married him.
That’s right. I got married. To the one my soul loves, my very Favorite, my real-life Dirk, Prince Charming, and knight in shining armor. I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine, as his wedding ring says.
You may have noticed a change up top of this here blog. See that? That’s my new name. My married name. A bit corny. ;) But that’s right, I took my maiden name as my middle and added my man’s name to mine (I even have the license to prove it already!). Most importantly, I took him as mine.
- Which means I get to see him everyday now, in our own cozy little nest nestled beneath a treeline–have you heard the story of my first and new forest yet?
- Which also means I’m figuring out that you can indeed run the dishwasher and the washing machine at the same time–just not the shower.
- Which finally means it’s entirely possible to go on a week-long honeymoon with one person and not get tired of them at all.
I got married. We had a First Look, where I handed him the bottle with which he proposed to me, stuffed with a new love letter this time. From me to him. <– Fun Fact: that letter is still in that bottle because it refuses to roll enough so we can slip it out! No worries, I simply made another copy and framed that one to match the one from him to me…
We became man and wife. I didn’t cry. He did. ;)
Later that same day, we had Chick fil a (because, what else does a girl want on her wedding day?) and headed off to a quiet, restful beach we adopted as our own for a week. This week, we returned to settle into our first newlywed home. And I changed my name here, because I want the whole world to know.

Thank you so very much, Marion :)
Aww! Love the post! Crazy fact, me and Caleb were so hungry after we left our wedding (even though we supposedly ate lunch during the reception) that we stopped at Chick fil a too! :D
We should set a trend!! :)
Awww, such a beautifully happily-ever-after-beginning! :D Congrats, dear friend! I’m so happy for you, experiencing all the wonders and joys of being a wife. :) {{Hugs!!}} Love your new bloggy-look too. ;) So cute. <3
Thank you very much, Rachel! It truly is. So worth waiting for. Thanks for your encouragement! :)
So lovely! :)
Thank you for all your encouragement, Judith! :)
Rachelle, I’m so happy for you! Congrats on your marriage and happily ever after! Wishing you much joy in this new season. :)
Thank you so very much, Rissi! :)
I love it! Congratulations! Let the adventure begin…or at least continue. ;)
Indeed! The best love stories never end. ;) Thank you, Rachel!
Oh, I love this! :-) Congratulations to both of you! May the Lord fill you with His wisdom, grace, and joy.
Thank you, Alicia! :)
I love your whole love story! I read every post and they all made me smile! You look beautiful and very happy, I’m so glad for you.
You also gave me much hope that one day I will get my own love story. We are about the same age and I never had a boyfriend, but I know that God will make it happen in His time if it’s all part of His plan :)
Thanks for sharing all of this with us!
Lots of blessing!
Blessings to you, too, Samantha! I’m so glad you commented! I remember well that waiting feeling–in my experience, it was all so very worth it. I’d wait again and twice as long if only to have him. I hope your own love story walks in one day very soon. :) Your trust in God is inspiring. <3
Oh, I love it.
Oh, I love him. ;)
Awwww!! Congratulations!!! You two are adorable together!
Thank you, Emily!! :)
