My husband and I got married less than two months after meeting each other and are going on 3 years. It’s an odd experience, and the last few years have been so hard but so beautiful and rewarding. I was 20 and he was 23 so I feel like we’ve been able to watch each other grow and mature in such profound ways. I love him now more than ever! It’s so encouraging to me to see stories of other couples who only dated a short time before getting married, and I would love to hear more stories!

How long were you dating/engaged before getting married? How long have you been married? What do you think makes your marriage work? What surprised you the most about marriage? What’s your favorite thing about it?

Here we are 2 years ago at our official ceremony (we eloped 3 years ago)!

And here we are goofing off today. ;) My husband works in construction so his goggle tan lines crack me up. 🤣
