Soon to be my Husband

Well the wedding is a week away and I am so excited. I really wasn’t prepared to be as excited as I am. When I met my fiancée (soon to be my husband) I was dead set against ever getting married again. My theory was that you could have just as strong a commitment with someone without having the state get involved, and to a certain degree I still feel that way. Do I think marriage is necessary? No. However I’m ready to marry this man and legally commit to spending the rest of my life with him, even if I would have done so anyway. Maybe it’s the baby thing. Could it be that carrying his child has made the concept of marriage more important to me? Possibly. It certainly has brought my love for him to a whole new level. I can’t really explain how or why, our love just seems more tangible to me now. There is a reality to it that I couldn’t see before, not that it wasn’t there. He has become a different man to me. Not a better man or a worse man just a different man, more than the man I love or the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, he has become the father of my child and there is a power there that I can’t really explain. He is stronger to me and sweeter. Our bond has been strengthened by this child we’ve made, and I am content to know that we are stronger for the trials we will and are facing.
