3 Years of Marriage!




Wow. 3 years.

I've been married for 3 years, today.

Has it been tough? Yes.

Has it been life-changing? Yes.

Has it been worth it? Absolutely!

Despite what a lot of people say, marriage to me isn't something you can just run away from when it's no longer convenient or euphoric. If you've committed to it, you endure it, and learn to enjoy it. Come what may and love it.

Like every thing that's worth anything in life, it takes a bit of work, a bit of patience, endurance, and, in my experience, a whole lot of humour!


To mark 3 eventful years of marriage, here's some funny quotes about marriage:

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. ~Paul Sweeney

Spouse: someone who'll stand by you through all the trouble you wouldn't have had if you'd stayed single. ~Author Unknown

Love is a sweet tyranny, because the lover endureth his torments willingly. ~Proverb

Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering. ~Anonymous

Whoever says marriage is a fifty-fifty proposition doesn’t know the half of it. ~Anonymous

Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age –as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight. ~Phyllis Diller

Only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other, to let her have it. ~Lyndon B. Johnson

We both said “I do” and we haven’t agreed on a single thing since. ~Stuart Mackenzie

We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops. ~Unknown

Marriage is when a man looses his bachelors degree and woman gets her masters degree. ~Ramakochhar

Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. ~Albert Einstein

Love is blind, marriage is the eye-opener. ~Unknown.

BAhahahahahaha.

Here's to 3 years of tears, bumps and giggles!


I love you Antho! xo
