Marriage.
What is marriage?
Wikipedia says marriage is: is a socially or ritually recognized union or legal contract between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws.

As much as I trust Wikipedia…most of the time, I think that there’s probably more to it.
Maybe.
I guess marriage means something different for everybody.
What does marriage mean to me though?
What does it mean for me?
And more importantly what does it mean for me and my partner?
Marriage isn’t important for our relationship to last.
We don’t need to be married to be comitted.
Will him being legally bound to me change how I feel about him?
Will it make us closer in any way?
I don’t think so.
I already consider him to be my husband, my life partner, my mate, my best friend, my lover, my world, my everything
Yet…
I still want to be married to him.
Why???
It’s romantic I guess. and part of me really likes that.
By marrying me and wearing that wedding band he is saying to the world
“Hey! This is my wife! She’s mine and I’m hers and we’re in love!”
And that makes me happy
like really happy
On January 7th, 2015 I’ll be a married woman! haha woman/teenager 🙂
