Today marks seven years since we got married. 🤍
As someone who spends most weekends surrounded by weddings, I probably should say your wedding day will be the best day of your life.
But seven years later… I’d say something different.
If you’re lucky, your wedding day won’t even make your top ten.
Because the best parts come afterwards.
🤍 You won’t always feel in love.
Love isn’t something you find once. It’s a choice you keep making, especially on the ordinary days.
🤍 Being right is overrated.
Very few arguments are worth “winning”. Protecting your relationship is far more important than proving a point.
🤍 Marriage isn’t 50/50.
Some days it’s 90/10. Some days it’s 10/90. The strongest couples step in when the other simply can’t.
🤍 Your spouse won’t always be your favourite person.
Life gets messy. Stress happens. That’s normal. Commitment carries you through the days when feelings alone don’t.
🤍 Compatibility matters less than commitment.
The happiest couples aren’t perfectly matched—they just keep choosing each other, again and again.
🤍 There will be seasons where you feel like strangers.
Children, careers, grief, illness, joy… life changes you both. Give each other enough grace to grow back together.
🤍 The wedding is only the beginning.
The Tuesday evenings. The family dinners. The holidays. The inside jokes. Watching each other become parents. Growing older side by side. That’s where the real magic is.
Creating flowers for weddings will always be one of the greatest privileges, because I get to witness the beginning of so many beautiful stories.
But today, I’m celebrating what comes after.
Happy anniversary to us. Here’s to the next chapter. 🤍
