Today is our 14th wedding anniversary. Crazy, huh?
Our wedding was crazy simple – we went down to the Beverly Hills Courthouse with some friends. Other couples were there and I remember it was a rather overcast day, but it became sunnier as they day grew. Our name was called and we got married by a Justice of the Peace. And we were married in five minutes.
Sometimes, I wonder if I should ever have an actual wedding with siblings and more friends present but I don’t know…I kinda like how we did it. Plus, the cost of a wedding nowadays is about the same price of a car and I would rather have a car instead! LOL.
I won’t lie and say our marriage has been easy; I say the last five years or so have been very challenging dealing with the pandemic, raising a child during the pandemic, and sick family members. Marriage is so worth it. It’s much more than a piece of paper and fuck what you heard. MARRIAGE IS WORTH IT.
Maks is my best friend, lover, confidant, and just everything. He supports me in all of my ambitions and brings me up when I’m down. I do the same for him. We also each other to be our authentic selves, and yet have our own identity aside from being husband and wife. I feel that’s how every marriage should be.
I really don’t have any advice for anyone. You just need to find your person and once you find your person, the happier you’ll be. There is someone for everyone and there is someone who will get you, support you, check you when needed, and love you the way you should be loved.
I leave you with a collage of our marriage throughout the years. I hope you enjoy! xoxoxo
