The goal is marriage. You eventually walk down the aisle toward the person you will spend the rest of your life—and maybe start a family with—after a period of courting during which you get to know your partner through both his and her best and worst moments. The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. The original poster (OP) recently married the person she believed to be her true love. They are now officially married after three years of dating and a year of engagement. However, the m…

Not on her birthday

Some people are out there and are living a real-life fairytale story, and I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, you have a life story that people write books and make movies about, and those stories usually end with a happy ending. On the other hand, a lot of those stories start with the hero being in pretty bad shape, and they have to overcome many challenges before actually getting their happily ever after.

Being volun-told to do things is not fun.

If there is one thing that I am grateful for about getting married young, is that neither of us had money when we got married. I am fully aware that this sounds ridiculous to be grateful for, but the fact that we had almost the same starting point financially saved us from the pain of fighting about it.

“He then has the audacity to tell me to put on a smile.” - OP about her husband

For couples that live, laugh, love together.

As such, there are a number of factors to take into account when planning for the big day. The wedding dress you will don as you walk down the aisle to finally meet your true love, for example. The story below is an account of a frustrated sister. The original poster (OP) just tied the knot with the love of her life in a private ceremony attended by…
