We got married because we wanted to. Why did we want to? Well, we wanted to cement our relationship. But for me, the cement was the engagement. For me, getting engaged was more important than being married. Engagement is the intention to spend the rest of your lives together, the wedding is just the piece of paper to prove it. We loved standing in front of our family and friends and having them witness our promises to each other. How did our relationship change? It didn't change at all. The only thing that changed for us was the rings we wore on our fingers and my last name. I am a massive fan of marriage
