Getting re-acquainted poll
Hey, ladies! This is the first time I've visited this board. I posted a lot on TK on our month board before the wedding and got busy with the holiday season at home and work. It's slow season at work now, so I've got a little bit more free time these days. Anyways, I'm sorry if I'm duplicating similar posts; the search function doesn't seem to be working for me, but it doesn't seem like anything has been posted really recently. I hope everyone has been doing well!
What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? I cook now! A friend had gotten us a gift certificate to a local shop that does all kinds of different classes as a wedding gift, and I finally got the chance to take a 3-day basics class. It was so awesome! Before the class I'd been too afraid to try cooking since I've never really had anybody to show me how. H is a great cook but not a good teacher. The class showed me that there's nothing to be intimidated by in the kitchen.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? We've always been really lucky that everyone gets along and enjoys each other's company. We'd been together for 7 years before the wedding, and living together for most of those, so nothing has really changed since then.
Where do you see the two of you in five years? Hopefully we'll both have different jobs, as neither of us are all that happy with our current ones. I hope we'll be in a house with a dog or two, and TTC if we don't have a child already.
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? The ceremony, and what an awesome job our officiant (and good friend) did tailoring it to us. And celebrating with everyone at the reception, and just looking at H and thinking "Holy crap! After all this time, I can finally call him my husband!"
Re: Getting re-acquainted poll
Where do you see the two of you in five years? With one or two children (depending how this one goes) and hopefully we'll be graduated from college and I'll be in my desired career field finally!
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? Just remembering how much I love my husband and how amazing it was when he started singing to me during our first dance. I had a smile on my face the entire day!!
What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? That's great that you cook now!
Hmm, living together is new.
But we've found a good rhythm. I do less housework than I did as a single (H is so great at that), but that will change if/when I am not working full-time.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? Great. I'd say we all enjoy each other and feel rather comfortable together. I am currently training for a 10k with my BIL and FIL.
Where do you see the two of you in five years? In our own house (renting right now) with hopefully two children already!
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? Walking down the aisle, our vows, our first dance.. honestly the day was so clear and fun, that I remember most of it and still think back on it often.Hi TPender! Glad to see you!
What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? Unfortunately the big impact event was my mother passing away, so we haven't gotten to experience "normal" since the wedding.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? My relationship with my ILs is complicated... they don't treat me well, so I don't like them to visit, but it's not that they don't like me, that's just how they are. The trip to India for the wedding was good because MIL has servants picking up after her so I don't have to. DH's grandmother is a big fan of me! DH does his best with my family and they like him, but they're a weird bunch!
Where do you see the two of you in five years? We'll see how the jobs go. Moving to India is on the table. That's also the time frame when we might have a kid. I'd also love to have a couple of dogs!
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? I really try not to think about it right now but everyone I talk to mentions the cake!What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? The way people at work look at me. Our life together hasn't changed much at all, but people at work definitely take me more seriously, now that I have a "Mrs." in front of my name. Sad but true.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? I've always loved my MIL, our relationship hasn't changed since the wedding. My FIL is a douchebag. That hasn't changed, either. My parents love H more than ever, especially my dad.
Where do you see the two of you in five years? I hope we'll have a house and at least one child.
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? Walking to the church before the ceremony, feeling as if I was going to fly right out of my skin, and then walking away from the church AFTER, with my husband's hand in mine!Books read in 2012: 21/50
I'm so sorry to hear this, Tem!
What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? DH and I are changing jobs.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? I love DH's family!! That hasn't changed. He feels about the same way with my family as before the wedding.
Where do you see the two of you in five years? In five years we'll (finally) be TTC!! We'll have lived somewhere outside of Seattle for 2 years and will be just moving back into town to settle down. We'll be more advanced in our careers and will get another dog (golden lab) and call her Cosette (to match our Marius). ...I've got this all planned out.
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? Our fricken amazing band!! When my aunt and uncles played "smoke on the water" spontaneously, right after our groomsmen sang and played "I want to hold your hand."Married 11/6/10
I realize I am a little late to the game on this one, I've just had a lot going on lately.
What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? We have more spare time to spend together and are not on such a strict budget because the wedding is over and paid for (thank goodness). Also I have stopped taking BCP and am starting the FAM method for TTA.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? I love my in laws, they are very sweet but I think we're still in the extra polite "sugar coated" phase that will I'm sure wear off eventually. In other words, when H and I moved in together before the wedding, they told H they werent pleased, but they never mentioned a thing about it to me. That hasnt changed. H gets a long with my family really well, he's still adjusting to the fact that we get together for EVERY birthday in addition to other various get togethers lol.
Where do you see the two of you in five years? Hopefully H's business will be thriving, we'll have one child and possibly another on the way. In a single family home.
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? I really enjoyed the first look, and the casual relaxed atmosphere we had before the ceremony - It was really nice that the entire bridal party (H's and mine) were all able to hang out together before the ceremony as opposed to splitting up and "hiding out" lol. Also, walking into the reception room and seeing everything come together was amazing, the whole thing really was a dream come true.

What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? I think the biggest thing is that we live together, hah! It's been fun getting into our routines and spending time together.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? Both my husband I get along well with the each set of parent(s). I think it's cute that my parents now seem more concerned about what he had to eat and how he is doing when I talk to them
Where do you see the two of you in five years? Hopefully well settled and possibly, hopefully with a baby. Who knows
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? I think it's the ceremony itself but mostly towards the end of our ceremony, H turns to me and whispers "What just happened?" and I had to laugh and told him "I think we're married now". I also loved it when of all the things for him to not understand, he had to have the priest repeat the vows in English that he needed to repeat.
What's the biggest change that has happened (if anything) since the wedding? Thinking about children as a real possibility now.
What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws, and has it changed at all since the wedding? What about H's with your family? So, I've never met FIL, doubt I ever will. And I still hate MIL and I'm pretty sure she hates me. SIL and H's aunts are awesome though and love them to death. H loves my family and my family loves him, so it's great!
Where do you see the two of you in five years? Probably still living in Colorado, in a much bigger house, with 2 kids at this point.
When you look back on your wedding day, what do you remember most? When H put the ring on my finger, then it was all so finally real.
