Happy first monthiversary to us! Exactly one month ago today, we were married in the best. wedding. ever (at least, in my opinion)!
We lived together for almost a year prior to getting married (and spent several nights a week together before that), so it’s not like we had to deal with the transition of merging lives and belongings. A lot of people who live together before marriage say that nothing really changed once they were married. In some ways, I guess that’s true. But it does feel a little bit different. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what or how. It’s beyond that immense sense of pride I feel when we go out together and I’m wearing my wedding ring and beyond being able to check “married” on official government forms. I guess it’s more a feeling of contentedness (is that even a word?) that we’re married and the firm belief that finally, I feel like my life is moving in the right direction.
Happy monthiversary, love. 
How do you think your life is going to change once you’re married? Do you have any moves to make (long distance, with each other, etc)? If you’re already married, how did things change for you, if at all?
we lived together 6 months before the wedding, and I know exactly that “different” feeling you are talking about. It IS different!
Congrats!
Happy Monthiversary Mrs. Pearl!!
My FI and I live 100+ away from each other and I am not moving in with him until after the wedding. My mind is boggled right now with all the stuff I have to do in 6 months.
Happy 1st month! I was wondering how things will be different after we get married. We’ve been living together for three years already.
But I guess it must be different somehow. I mean, even something as little as picking up the phone and saying “hold on, I have to make a call to my husband….”
That will be something. Just 25 more days…
My new husband said to me after we got back from the honeymoon - “it’s amazing how nothing has really changed…but everything has changed!” It’s true, it feels different, even if it’s the same house, same dog, same day-to-day.
It’s been five weeks now for us. For some reason, on our 3-week-iversary, my husband got so excited, couldn’t believe it had already been three weeks. It definitely feels different and in the best possible way.
