get married, stay married, and live happily ever after

I am 34y.o. Canadian Male, would like to become US or European by marriage (I am sure we’ll fall in love, so it will be legal LOL ). If you are US or European (any of 27 EU countries) – contact: asuperone@hotmail.com

You (in return) – will become a Canadian.

I am a few small steps closer to this goal, although it will take a lifetime to achieve it. I am so excited! We just had our four year anniversary of being together, and our wedding is in 8 months.

Both of our parent’s celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this summer, which is amazing! We have the best role-models we could ever hope to have right here with us. Seeing the love that these two couples still share is inspiring. I have grown up watching my parents, and I have learned a lot from their example. I have seen them in hard times, and good times. I’ve seen how they come together when things get tough, and always find a way to come out stronger.

It is amazing how much work they have put into growing together. I think that is the most important thing I’ve learned from my parents when it comes to relationships. So many couples grow apart as time goes on. They change, and they leave their other half behind. People aren’t constant and they don’t stay the same. The differences can drive a couple apart. The key is to change and grow as one, as two halves of a whole. You have to really work to keep the common ground of love, family, and togetherness.

If my fiance and I can do even close to how well our parent’s have done, we have a bright future ahead of us. I already think we are doing well. We have never ‘broken up’, and we work hard to keep the lines of communication open. I don’t think there has been a day we haven’t spoken, or a weekend we haven’t seen eachother in the last three years. I really love this man, and I want to be with him for the rest of my life. Every loving, irritating, charming, stubborn bit of him. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I HOPE

This is pretty self-explanatory.

I know “happily ever after’s” aren’t realistic, becuase a part of life is accepting that life can’t be perfect. But the getting married and STAYING married is, in my opinion, way better than any fairytale.

I’m totally in love with this guy he’s the most amazing person ever.
I’m a bit young to get married n all that rite now but at some point in the next few years i can defiantly see us staying together.

the wedding is cancelled. this goal is too depressing right now.

So I’ve been to three weddings this year- and was in two of them. It feels like everyone I know is getting married. Falling in love. Starting a family. I was invited to one more (couldn’t go) and went to one right before the new year also. I am completely torn up inside because every part of me keeps thinking that I am getting too old to be looking for Mr. Right. He should be here by now. And the worst part is that I am so lonely it is truly starting to hurt.

But everyone is happy. Finding the love of their lives. I don’t even know if I have one.

Less than 8 weeks to go until my big day!

I can’t wait it’s so exciting.

good luck everyone!

I’m currently engaged and haven’t even started planning my wedding. I think it’s so overwelming!

Through my graduate program, I have met a wonderfully intriguing, amusing and beautiful woman two years my junior. We are somewhere between acquaintances and friends and the latter is likely a ceiling for our ‘relationship.’ Nonetheless, I have not been this excited by simple potential in years, even though I date actively.
