Saying ‘I do’ to Mr Wright.

I think a life update is slightly overdue…

Married.

As I think of all the words to describe this monumental moment in my life, none seem to capture the true essence and gravity other than spellbinding and incomprehensible. As I look back at written history in focus, engulfed in vivid colour, two feelings come to mind – happiness and centered. Life is a rollercoaster, but destiny is pre-set.

One lesson it’s taught me is adhering to your own life’s script, honor and beliefs will facilitate what you believe your destiny to be. Being malleable or coherent to wants, meets and demands from lifestyles you disassociate from or consciously unsubscribe to, will only lead you feeling unfulfilled or despondent, due to the inability of controlling your own life’s narrative.

Your associates are incredibly important and influential on this journey through life, so ensuring their viewpoint is focally in alignment with the destination is fundamentally key.

Marriage is the unknown to all of us at one stage of our lives; it’s like a bullet without the casing – there’s no real preparation for it. Cohabitation is a trial period, but the refund policy is always within reach; giving you peace of mind that you have a cushioned fallback, no strings attached. Marriage is a historical record. You’re tied for life. For better or worse, your other half is associated with you for eternity. That in itself is enough to keep you up at night! On the flip side, it can be your partner in crime, the one who shares the window seat with panoramic views wherever life takes you both. In the words of Otis Redding,

“Now, I’m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time”

Another song that comes to mind by Paul Young, ‘Wherever I lay my hat that’s my home’. Now in my case, that’d be a scrunchie! Whether that be in Georgia as Mr Redding reenacts or anywhere else across the globe. Home is a feeling, elicit of explanation; comparative to marriage, unreserved of location, unlocks a winning combination.

  1. marriage is interesting..I’ve been for almost 39 years, and there seems to be stages until you become best friends for life. I’ve watched others, friends tear their families apart, their marriages ended, for really nothing…yes some were inevitable, some were because of discretions, but others, they just fell out of love?

    I’ve always beleived you made a commitment, stick to it, you’ve signed a contract.

    A story I once heard..it was a son writing about the changes in how marriage was seen by his father, grand father and great grand father..the grand father saw the engagement as a probation, to see if the wife to be was employable….he didn’t see it so much as a marriage as hiring a helper…lol. how things have changed

  2. One very important task in marriage is to avoid letting your partner stop you as you say from ‘adhering to your own life’s script, honor and beliefs.”
