‘True love’s kiss’ & the reaction to the leap
Ezra & Victoria: I didn’t find anything unusual about [our marriage]. I remember the night that we met she performed and that was the moment she caught my attention. I remember looking across the table and telling my friend “That’s the type of woman I want my wife to be.” At the time I didn’t think anything of it, it was a moment of admiration that was not ever meant to be a prediction. I actually didn’t think I would be her type. When we married after only roughly six months together it was a completely different story. Lines were drawn and the first few months we were at war. It took time for them to realize that we were serious about our commitment and there were even moments we considered divorcing but we choose to do what made us happy. Most my friends were very open minded to the idea. The friends that began to show a different side were the mutual friends we had. It was interesting, to say the least, to see the shift in attitudes.
Wayne & LaNette: It may seem unusual to jump into marriage upon ” true love’s kiss” but based on our society can you really blame someone of wanting to live the fairytale of living happily ever after. I know I don’t [blame anyone]. Being married to Wayne was actually my second marriage, so I had people to ask me why I was rushing to re-marry or they would ask, ” you need more time.” All of a sudden everyone was overly concerned about my well-being. When I was single I didn’t have anyone to give me advice but now that I was ready to settle down everyone wanted to play match-maker and introduce me to their male friends or their family members.
Timmothy & Chalon: Jumping in to marriage is not unusual. Love itself is illogical at best. The easiest way in our opinion to fail in a relationship is when you continually look at the “D-word” rates. You see we don’t even use the word casually. We don’t play with or even think about the odds of failure because we are fixated on spending the rest of our lives together. Both of our families trust our judgment at this phase in our lives. We have both had marriages that failed and neither of us jumped back into another relationship. We both practiced abstinence five years or more in preparation for “the one.” So when we announced our intentions to them, they were pleased with our decision. We have been blessed not to have any overt haters in our lives.
