Sarah Lian Instagram – It’s officially been a month of being asked“how does it feel to be married” and guys, it feels amazing! Mostly because nothing has changed between us and we’re both back at work.
My only revelation is that it does feel different to be married vs being in a long-term relationship. I knew I wanted to get married and be in a traditional union, so being able to ask for what I want and having my dream come true was just wild!
Signing documents, opening bank accounts, sharing financial expenses (even disclosing/curbing my spending habit) hits different when you’re a legal entity. Some people will convince you that it’s just a paper and it doesn’t mean much, but only you can determine what having a partner -married or not married- will mean to you. Don’t let anyone make you feel small about it.
When you find someone who is aligned with the similar values and importance placed on similar needs, it will feel right and it will make sense. It was the courage to speak it out that was the hardest for me, but it got me here.
I saw how my family came together and took on different roles leading up to the wedding and even more blessed that they flew over multiple countries and flights to be a part of this big day. Plus, my brothers giving speeches, my sister overcoming her fear of attention and my mom looking so stunning at all of the events made me feel so loved, not to mention pops singing in the evening- yes he sang. They are all core memories anchored in my heart forever.
(Still waiting for the rest of the pics to come but I wanted to share these for now!)
PS. A little shoutout to @paxfloralstudio for being meticulous and being such great executors of my visual references. Especially my beautiful bouquet that I couldn’t stop admiring- it was the white peonies for me.
