When my husband was hinting about getting married, I'll give him side eye and be like "what's wrong with this one"

and needed to take a breather. I just wanted to party and have fun, hang out, travel, be single and free.
My husband was that guy in the friend zone I told everything
One day, he blocked his number and prank called me with a different voice and asked me out on a date.

Who is this" I asked
"The love of your life" he replied in the unattractive squirrel voice
I hung up thinking it was definitely one of those annoying guys
Next day, we're chatting on BBM and I told him about the prank call, he was like "maybe it's a secret admirer"

(He eventually told me he was the one and he was just messing with me)

"It didn't work out" he replied

One Saturday, there was a party at elegushi beach with my friends, so I invited him. He was just a friend whose weekend boredom I wanted to ease. He came with a friend and she was cute

We were at 360° dancing and drinking and he says "let's take a walk"
I'm like sure! wondering where cute girl was
We walked at the sea shore holding hands, the water swept over to our ankles and trickled beneath our feet as it flowed back, causing a tingling sensation

Then he leaned and kissed me. "I've always wanted to do that" he said
My knees were weak as he stared at my face.
My mouth opened, one million puzzles in my head, many questions I wanted to ask, and all I could say was "well, then do it again"

but instead, I'm writing this thread to say it as it is.
The picture I posted alongside this thread is symbolic to our vows, it's the most important part of a wedding ceremony, and as much as the entirety of a wedding is filled with so many beautiful moments,

taking the vows has to be the most important moment.
It is the moment when both a man and woman forget about the guests eating jollof rice or semo and efo riro, the mothers organizing food and the fathers hugging friends, the little bride crying in the corner

and the little groom missing a shoe...the moment that called for the whole ceremony
This moment seals whatever experience both man and wife would encounter in their marriage, it is not just self thought poetry or the common words spoken out by a pastor to be repeated...

You would love and you would loathe.

But if he/she is a good person, good means 'kind, patient, compassionate, willing to learn, willing to grow, accepting and acknowledging when they goof, respects you, honors you, fears God, LISTENS TO YOU, let's you be yourself, supports everything you do, trusts you...
is not intimidated by your confidence, cheers you on when you win, consoles you when you lose, prays with you when your heart is weary, makes an effort in things they know they suck at... then you guys would do just fine
Listen, this thing called marriage, it's amazing!

Calm down and make sure you pay attention to the red flags in the person you're with or potentially with.
And sweethearts, please don't manage bad behavior because it would cost you your sanity or your life.
Happy anniversary Shizu. Thank you for being all that and more
