We became One Year Old!
Hey y’all! Guess what? We did it!
So today marks one year of marriage for Mohammed & I!
We started our journey in October 2016 and shortly tied a knot on 11 October 2017 and boom One year over.
Crazy how it seems to have flown by!
I do not mostly write about my personal life and NOT that am an expert in this genre. But this one is a special dedication to my Best friend, My companion and lastly, My Husband.
Also a great deal of credit goes to my Husband for being a rock solid support for my blog(the whole idea of the blog was his and the lovely layout and the pictures are clicked by him :) ) and also constantly encouraging me with my further studies.
During our wedding season I kept hearing two bits of advice over and over again. Everyone wanted to let me know that,
#1. Marriage is really hard and that
#2. We would be more in love as the years went on than we were right then.
Marriage is indeed hard. Just like anything worthwhile in life. This year we have seen each other's flaws and imperfections and known each other better for it. We disagree often. It takes a lot of work and even more communication. It exposes your flaws and weaknesses to the person that you love the most. It makes you frustrated and overwhelmed all at the same time. However, marriage is the best thing that I have ever encountered in my life. Marriage is where I feel safest, truest, so very unconditionally loved, supported, comforted, and challenged in a good way. Marriage is where I can feel vulnerable, yet so much loyalty, and where I get to witness somebody willing to invest so much time, energy, work, and fight through our differences to make our union stronger and our love deeper.
But I've discovered that their second statement(#2) was equally true. I can confidently say that I am more in love with Mohammed today than I was one year ago when we first tied the knot. It's so true! I am very much in love with my husband. I'M BLESSED to be married to my best friend and biggest supporter. Now that we have one year of marriage under our belts, I can very much admit that I am looking forward to the coming years together even more.
Our marriage is NOT perfect BUT awesome!
If you had asked me a year ago what would I have wanted, an easy first year of marriage with rainbows and butterflies or a year of harder conversations and moments of silence. I would have picked the rainbows. However looking back on this past year I’m so glad it wasn’t all rainbows because we learned so much. And each of the moments of forgiveness and understanding brought us even closer together.
So I want to thank you. Thank you for standing beside me in the hard times, always holding my hand. For encouraging me to be a better version of myself and for always telling me I’m beautiful. For forgiving me when I’m frustrated and saying things I don’t mean, and for always trying to make me laugh when I’m grumpy. For holding me when I’m sad, and coming to my rescue when I need help. You are my rock, my best friend, my everything. I love you more today than I ever imagined I could and I cannot wait to see what the rest of life will bring us.
So on this day, our 1st wedding anniversary I want you to know how much I love you and how thankful I am for the last year and how excited I am for the coming years!
Today, we celebrate together. I am so excited to consider this first year as our baseline, as we both work to improve ourselves and our relationship. I mostly write about health and wellness goals here on the blog much more than I talk about my marriage. And truthfully, that's on purpose. I am NOT an expert in that field. Not yet anyway :').
But we are looking forward to what the years will hold for us. I have a good feeling about us. :)
In life, nothing seems to be perfect, infact we fail to be perfectly in time for a party. Similarly, we can't expect a person to be perfect without any flaws. And to everyone out there, find the perfections in your imPERFECTIONS
PS: I've shared some of my wedding moments here to relive it even after a year!
Your Well-wisher,
