Icarus and I celebrated our six months of marriage today (a day early, but we celebrated nonetheless!)
Only a month ago, we were contemplating separation and divorce due to our financial and psychiatric problems (including Icarus' horrific psychotic break)
Here we are, a month later... basking in the glow of each other's happiness. Our problems are not completely resolved, and the battles to stay afloat in our happiness are frequent, but we trudge on - together - as a husband and wife should.
He is my husband. He is my best friend. He is my lover. He is my rock. He is my confidant. He is my critic. He is my soul. He is my heart. He is my fantasy. He is my superman.
Best of all? He is Mine!!
On February 13th 2009, we took our vows and made promises to each other. "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? In good times and bad? In sickness and in health? From this day forward, as long as you both shall live?"
We both said "I do."
We may be young. We may be niave. But I know what love is. And my love resides in my gorgeous and loving husband, Ian.
Last night, we celebrated our anniversary of promising our hearts to one another with our dear friend Raige. She has not only stood by our side, but she has been the catalyst to remind us that we are meant for each other. He is the Jack to my Sally. I'm the Sharon to his Ozzy.
This blog is dedicated to my beautiful dear wonderful friend Raige. Without you, I may not be the happy, full of love, dedicated wife that I promised Ian I would be! And thank you for kicking his ass to be the loyal, sweet, romantic, caring, and loving husband he is!
Granted, our first 6 months have been challenging, but I know in my heart if we can defeat the ferverous demons of hatred this early in our young marriage, we will make it "as long as we both shall live".
I love you, Ian. I am so proud to be your wife!! Happy 6 months, my Bug. They went so quick. We've had our fights and our disagreements, but what doesn't kill us - makes us stronger... and we will always have our guardian angel (WJM) to remind us of that. I LOVE YOU, IAN.
Always and Forever,
Your Wife,
Kiera Rose
