wedding bells

 

 

I have mentioned before a lot of my friends are getting married. So it’s easy to say that I have had wedding on the brain. Let’s face it it’s Utah. Everyone my age is getting engaged or married. This sucks for me. But even if Chris did not to go on a mission I still don’t think I would get married at 19…20 or even 21. Chris and I are waiting to get married until we are both done with school. We are trying to be responsible and realistic about marriage and what it entails. It’s not just about putting a ring on your left ring finger. There is a ton of responsibility and choices to be made. We have to pay bills. Decide where to live. Have decent jobs. We have to provide for ourselves which requires tons of saving and planning. Don’t get me wrong I would love to marry Chris within months of when he gets back but I am afraid it’s not realistic. Plus he has to adjust back into normal life. That would be super hard if all of a sudden he is a husband. Marriage seems scary and I am afraid of going into it too soon. I am 300% sure I have the right guy; I just want to make sure everything else is 300%.

 

I am so glad that we both feel this way and we have talked about it a ton. You only get married once and we are not worried about the person we are marring but basically everything else. I am just glad I don’t have to think about that stuff for a while. Though it’s hard with wedding announcements coming out every week.
