I've since discovered that just after you get married, the question people always want to ask you is "So How is Married Life?" I've found this a somewhat odd question and at times, wondered whether I should provide something more exciting than my usual "Um... no different?" I guess that's the downside of having already known Craig for 8 years. We've already lived together for 5 of those years (wow time flies.. ) so all getting married did was provide us with a legal certificate.
I was then asked an interesting question by a Buddhist Nun from Chenrezig who returned with, "Well if it's not any different, then why bother with a big fancy wedding?" I did have to think about this somewhat but after some thought, I replied, "It was worth seeing all our friends and family come together and celebrate with us." And that much is true. Every time I look back at my wedding photos, I can't help but smile at all the tomfoolery and various faces that were there.
But back to the present, where does that leave us now? With the wedding and honeymoon behind us, we've quickly fallen into our usual routines of work, catching up with friends and our various hobbies. I have to confess, our mundane routines are actually kind of a relief, after the craziness of the wedding. But looking back I wouldn't change a single thing!
As for fending off questions, the next one sure is a gobsmacker. "So are you pregnant yet?" It turns out life is full of questions, most of which, we'd rather not thinking about. And don't worry, I'm not knocked up. But when I am, it'll be a damn good excuse not to do my pilates. Until then, I'm out of excuses.
Yours truly,
Demi.
