One Month of Wedded Wisdom. . . a month late

(at least the PG-ish version):

1. There is no “poof!” at the wedding. I’m still me. She is still she.
2. For the first week or so, “exhausted” is pretty much a constant state now that the planning is over.
3. Always wear your ring. Sometimes you need it to remind yourself that you are not dreaming— it actually did happen
4. October is the best month for weddings. Period.
5. Want to start off your marriage with bushels of brownie points? Grill steak on your honeymoon. Extra points if done from the middle of the ocean.
6. Always kiss your wife goodnight and goodbye.
7. Windy New England days are cold, but they make for incredible wedding pictures.

9. Being greeted at the door by your wife almost makes it worth being gone at work all day.
10. Tie racks can hold all manner of interesting things.
11. Moonlit walks are inherently better with a wife rather than a fiancée.
12. There are girls who can cook, and there are girls who can cook.
13. Corn mazes are fun dates.
14. Motivation for getting out of bed for a 2-hour commute: hard. Getting up when it is cold outside: harder still. Getting up in the cold and leaving wife: you gotta be kidding me!
15. Don’t forget to ask for stories—you weren’t the only person at the wedding.
16. Employee benefits should include bonuses wedding/honeymoon leave.
17. The honeymoon is not the best time to “be brave” and experiment with foods you both historically have disliked just because you are in the area where they harvest it fresh.
18. Putting outings with the wife on hold to work on school stinks. Having a wife who takes those opportunities to make yummy goodness is bliss.
19. RaWr.
20. A lifetime together is too short.
21. Just because you live together that doesn’t mean you now suddenly have all kinds of time to be together – you still need to set time aside to spend together.
22. It is actually possible to get tired of spending free money.
23. Three words: cold. feet.
24. Life gets fast very quickly. Make time to remember these moments.
25. There really are monsters in your closet.
26. #8 + #19 = *whistles*
27. There is no such thing as “hers” and “his.” At best there is “hers” and “ours.”
28. When in doubt, kiss her.
29. I have the bestest. girl. Ever.
30. True happiness doesn’t go stale.
