The End of an Era

Greetings, readers! This will most likely be my final blog before my wedding day. Yes, it is FINALLY here! I am so excited to marry my sweetheart, I can barely stand it. This blog is going to be dedicated to the end of this stage of my life.

Marriage is not something I step into lightly. It took a lot of thought and self-searching to make the leap and get engaged. I've experienced a lot of hurt in my relationships, and definitely didn't want to go down that road again. Have I enjoyed bachelorhood? Absolutely! It has given me the opportunity to develop into my own person and mature beyond what living with my parents had done. I found myself along the way and began to relate to people as an individual, not someone's child. Getting married is a product of my bachelor days. Because I was able to figure out who I was and what I wanted, I am better prepared to enter into this new adventure with Jennifer. No longer do I need to wonder am I going to get lost in our relationship. The answer is NO - I am a unique part of a new family. I think my individuality will be enhanced by my relationship with my wife.

So, to all of those who are pondering and considering marriage, think long and hard, but do THINK. Farewell, bachelor days...hello, marriage!!
