Reflecting on newlywed life.

We were at a wedding this weekend—the first one we’ve attended since our own. It was a beautiful day with great friends. And it had me reflecting on our first few months of married life.

A question people like to ask couples in the weeks and months after their wedding is, “do you feel different?”

Day-to-day life doesn’t feel different. But we do feel different. After completing a ceremony and ritual like that, in front of all your friends and family, something does change in you. Taking a vow, crossing a threshold of nearly universal human experience.

Attending a wedding also feels different to me now—deeper and more meaningful.
