Crazy Marriage Laws

I recently was on the Huffington Post website and found an article on crazy marriage laws. Some of them made me laugh so I thought I would share with you.

UTAH: First cousins can marry if both are at least 65 years old

There are some people out there who were SO HAPPY when they found out it was possible. Congratulations to them!!!

MISSISSIPPI: A marriage license will not be issued if the applicants appear to be drunk, insane or imbeciles

One of those laws that more states should adopt. Haha. Especially Nevada.There are a lot of drunk people trying to get married in Vegas.

NEW ORLEANS: Mystics, fortune tellers and palm readers may not perform marriage ceremonies

Aww man. :( But seriously,could you imagine? Have a fortune teller be performing a marriage ceremony and suddenly look at the bride and groom and go "This isn't going to work out...trust me." The look on their face...priceless.

SOUTH CAROLINA: Males over 16 years old may not seduce a woman by promising to marry her

That'll stop them.

MONTANA: The bride and groom do not have to be present during the wedding

Let me go to a wedding where the bride and groom aren't even there. What the heck goes on at these then? I can talk to the guests without having to dress up fancy.

DELAWARE: Annulment permitted if one or both parties entered into the marriage as a jest or dare

This is straight out of a movie. Haha. I do not even know what to say to this one. Hahaha. "Honey,I only married you because Joseph dared me to." All I can say to the other person is...should have hired the fortune teller. New Orleans doesn't need them.

Let Us Have a Chance

Ever since I have announced I am engaged,I have seen the questions constantly.

Not that I should defend myself but I will....

"Your only 19! That is too young to be getting married."

    Yes I am 19 at the moment,and on my wedding day I will be 20,and the next year I will be 21. And the point is? Look around,there are people who have 3 year olds and are onto their second husbands by now. Look at them and judge me. Go ahead. My age has nothing to do with it. There are 30 year olds who still do not know what they want so what does someone's age matter?

"Shouldn't you be together a little longer before you make such a commitment."

    On our wedding day we will have been together for five years. We know eachother,trust me,and we love eachother because we know eachother's flaws and strengths. I know his weird quirks and he knows mine. We can live with them so I believe we are going to be just fine.We will continue to learn more about eachother as we get older. But why would we not get married just because people grow up as they get older?

"Divorce rates are so high. Why even risk it?"

So because other people got divorced,nobody should get married? I have no control over what other people do but I am not going to run my life in fear of what might happen. Life is too short. I am not stupid, I realize that everyone says "We will be together forever!!" and then some of them do not fulfill that wish. But(and I hope this comes across like I am trying to say it) If Kevin and I were to break up today, I would NEVER regret dating him. The memories we have made are irreplacable and I would do it all over again. Our "breakup" would not make our memories any less special. Because at the time we made them,we were in love. So I am going into our marriage with the same perspective. Yes,there is a chance that if we let our marriage fall off our radar that we can fall apart and end up divorced. And I would rather enjoy whatever memories I get of him,rather then never even try just because I am scared of what might happen.But who is to say that we do not deserve a chance at working every day at a great marriage and putting every effort into being happily married when we are old.

 I can not say that 20 years from now I will still be in love with him and he will still be in love with me. Can I tell you I believe that is extremely likely,yes of course, but nobody can tell what the future holds. But I can tell you with my ENTIRE heart that for the past 4 years,5 months,and 2 weeks that we have been together, that I have loved him and only him and continue today to love him and only him. He is the man who I have spent every day thinking about. He is the man I spend every night falling asleep in his arms. He is the man I imagine staring misty eyed and awestruck into the sleeping face of our newborn child. He is the man I imagine holding the hand of as one of us leaves this earth. He is the man I imagine seeing again when I find my way up to Heaven.

So yes, I realize that our marriage is not guarenteed. But I can promise you,and I am 100 percent sure that Kevin will agree with me,that we will spend every day of the rest of our life working at making our marriage successful. Just like up until our wedding day,we have spent every day making sure our dating life is successful. And we have succeeded at that so what is to say that we can not enjoy every day we get together as husband and wife. So give people a chance. Nobody is perfect but atleast some people are trying. Whether they are 18 or 50,atleast they are trying. It is a scary world out there and nobody wants to be alone in it.So please,just support eachother,in whatever they want to take a risk in. Because when they succeed,(excuse my french)you are the dumbass who did not believe in their relationship.

Rant over :)

Welcome To Our Journey

200 days to go.

200 days until my life goes down a new path.

200 days until we go on a lifelong journey together.

200 days until I meet him at the end of the aisle.

I origionally kept talking myself out of writing this blog. I kept telling myself that I already have a vlog on Youtube so what would I find to say on here. I kept telling myself I would never find a way to look back on this many years from now so what would be the point. I kept making excuses but the thought kept creeping back into my head. I am a writer. I have always expressed my feelings through my writing. As a little girl I processed my feelings by writing stories. So why was I trying to block that part out of my planning? Yes the Vlog is a great thing and I still plan to do it. But sometimes I have thoughts in my head and I can't always express them with my spoken words. But I am able to express them and work them out on "paper".  So many people forget how important writing is,and it is a part of who I am. So I am going to try this. No pressure to achieve something,no care if nobody reads it or not,just speaking and if someone is listening then that is great and I welcome you. If not,then Brittany is talking to herself.
