Y’all, look at these two married cuties!
Amanda, co-pilot of the SS Smart Bitches, got married today and THE KVELLING that is happening. If you haven’t met Amanda’s partner, please meet Brian (they/them)!
Congratulations, you two!
Want to just expire from cute? Today is also the anniversary of their first date four years ago.
I knew they’d been planning an elopement, but recently they realized that they can just…get married. Right now. So they did!
I mean, why wait for happy times if you can make them happen sooner?
I’m seriously so happy for them both, and wanted to share the celebration with all of you.
Please share your wishes and advice for a happy future! Let’s shower them both with love and support.
Thanks for sharing your marvelous day, Amanda and Brian – congratulations!
Congratulations Amanda and Brian! May your relationship exist in better times soonest! (Or at lest less worse.) Good on you for finding joy where you can. *smooches*
Congratulations!
I have a tip that, no joke, eliminated 70% of my marital disputes: each of you should have their own twin size comforter on your side of the bed. It allows for the weight you want and gets rid of the wind tunnel effect.
Congratulations, Amanda and Brian!
@Zuzus: Oh way ahead of you! Having our own duvets has been a godsend, especially since we have different comforts in blanket weights.
Congratulations Amanda and Brian! Best wishes for the future!!
Congratulations! Wishing you many years of happiness….
You know I meant together, right?
Congratulations Amanda and Brian!! So cute.
My best tip is to work under the assumption that the other person is always fundamentall, at a core level, on your side (even if/when you disagree!). As in “we might be arguing about this thing, but they are still on my side”.
My best tip is to create little rituals with each other. For example, a ritual could be playing Scrabble together in a coffee shop each weekend. That sort of thing.
Huge congratulations, Amanda And Brian! I’m so happy for both of you.
Congratulations Amanda and Brian!
YAY!!! Congratulations!!!
You both look so happy. May it always be so. Congratulations.
Joyful congratulations to you both, Amanda and Brian!! Wishing you countless years ahead of being Team Amabri/Brinda/AmandandBrian/BrianAndAmanda!! Keep talking to each other 🙂
Many congratulations and good wishes. Separate duvets are great. One of my moms swore that the secret to happy marriage was one bathroom each.
Congratulations! So lovely to see happy people joyfully living their lives.
Congratulations! Wishing you many years of happiness together. <3
Congratulations, Amanda and Brian! No tips, just sending you tons of love and good wishes. 🙂
Congratulations! Love and best wishes to you both.
Congratulations on your marriage! Wishing you the very best Amanda and Brian!
Wishing you both a happy beginning and much shared joy in the years ahead. Also, I’m so tickled that you decided to just go for it. That would’ve been my tip. Congratulations!
FANTASTIC! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness! Mazel tov!
Congratulations! Wishing you many, many years of happiness and joy.
CONGRATULATIONS Y’ALL!!!
The best advice I received 34+ years ago is to communicate with each other. Talk things out and don’t assume you know what the other is thinking or feeling. Do Not force a conversation if one or both of you is too angry to actually talk things out. A time out can be beneficial.
Many good wishes to you both, Amanda and Brian!
squeeee!!! Congrats, you two! <3 <3
Yay!! Congrats!!
All the congratulations!!
A piece of advice: you’ve been together awhile and now have put a different label on your relationship – married! – which feels great. I imagine you’ve done a lot to unroot and dismantle received messages about relationships – and marriage can uncover some new things you didn’t know were there! When you notice new or weird feelings or beliefs come up that are different “now that we’re married” take a beat and check in with yourself about where those beliefs are coming from. Make sure they are yours and not some residual stuff from society/family/culture.
All the best in this new chapter of your life!
Congratulations you two! Wishing you every good thing in the years to come; may you always be as joyful as you are today.
To echo @Glenda, always keep the lines of communication open. Talk about everything, even small things, even the things you don’t like to talk about. Talking out issues when they first come up can keep them from snowballing into major arguments; and I can tell you from personal experience, keeping each other informed about the little niggling things disturbing your physical and mental well-being, even if you think it’s probably nothing, can not only save your marriage, it can also save your life. Mazel tov!
Congratulations! Wishing you many wonderful years together!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to you two! Wishing you joy and delight in each other and your partnership.
Happy happiest wedding! Wishing you both all the happiness!!!
Congratulations you two adorable love birds! Sending all the joy and hope to you both!
Congratulations, Amanda and Brian! One piece of advice we received when we got married was to never forget the things that brought us together. That was OkCupid and our sense of humor. Twenty years later, we’ve left OkCupid in the dust, but our sense of humor has kept us connected in the good and the rough times. Wishing you a wonderful life full of delight together!
Congratulations, Amanda and Brian! Best wishes for many many happy years!
All heartfelt and joyous wishes for your life together, Amanda and Brian.
One of the things I’ve loved at our house is how each of us remembers something silly and/or very funny, words that recall a time, place or experience. Kind of like THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, when everyone understood to beware of the “undertoad.” My parents never shared jokes or memories and I know that’s why we have built a library of them.
Congratulations!!! May you have many years of happiness.
Congrats! Wishing you smooth sailing together and many happy years to come.
Congratulations! Wishing you a wonderful life together.
