Why Did I Get Married

Oct 15, 2007

As most of the you know Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married" made it's way to the movie theaters this weekend. I went and saw it today with my sister and niece. I truely enjoyed it. GO SEE IT!!

I've seen the play and have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect from the movie. I was pleasantly suprised. As always I've talked about this subject / movie with some friends, male and female, and all seem to have enjoyed it. Even relate and see themselves and their current or past relationships in it.

In the past few weeks, while doing the final preparations for our wedding and since the wedding, I've asked myself the movie title's question. I was also asked by people "How do you know you are ready to get married", "What made Him the One" and my favorite "Why?!?" I've pondered these questions...

Other than the normal: I love him and he loves me. I came up with: He completes me. The patience I have lacked most of my life he has. He is a man that knows how to be so without bringing anyone else down. He isn't perfect. I have had my share of fixer uppers or drama filled relationships and ours was never either of those extremes. We have a well rounded relationship. That has evolved as we ourselves have changed throughout our time knowing each other. How he treats me and my daughter. He has treated me like a Queen from the second I meet him and my daughter like a true princess. I am spoiled and know it but he doesn't nessarily spoil me he treats me like a lady and doesn't think twice about it.

"Why Did I Get Married?" I got married because I know we will accomplish more together than we ever will alone. Because I love being with him and know that we have real unconditional love. I didn't want to live in sin anymore LOL it's true but still it sounds bad out loud. I wanted our relationship to be legal and viewed rightously by God, our family and friends. Most of all because it feels right.

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage...

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We ...

Tornado in ATL

Friday night a tornado hit downtown Atlanta. I still can not believe it. It is amazing to see the damage it caused. I was born and raised in this city! This is the stuff I watch on the news not a few blocks from my house! I was moments from being caught in it. Thank God I was running behind for once in my life. I am normally very on time but wasn’t Friday night. I was and left a few minutes behind. There is major damage less than a mile from my house. I love living downtown, but the other day I wasn’t so in love with the idea! Thankfully no one I know was injured or had major damage to their homes. One of my favorite bars, the Harlem Bar is closed. It is on Edgewood. The tornado did some serious damage to that area. I am thankful that few were injured and no one was killed. It’s amazing that now one was since it hit in a very populated area. Thank God it was 9:30pm and not rush hour!
