"Am I really Married?" Moments!

[shaslove]

Has anyone, during the first weeks of marriage, had one of these? Where you think you are not married for a second?

Here is mine: I was lying on the couch last Friday, and I was 1/2 asleep, and I looked at the clock and it said 10:30 pm. When we were courting, our curfew was 11. So I asked my husband "Aren't you gonna take me home?" and he said "You are home," and I was like "Right."

LOL!

lol thats so sweet.

I never really had that because I lived with DH before we got married.

 

[gracepaints]

LOL Sweet. Actually, I remember the LONG afternoon between our wedding and our wedding night. I kept looking at my husband thinking, "Okay, we're married but...this is SO weird."

Marriage the first few years (and still does) feel little like a neverending slumber party. You get to spend the WHOLE NIGHT and tomorrow night too and the night after that?! That is SO COOL.

I remember our wedding night. I woke up in the morning and was so pleased that I wasn't confused about where I was - I knew I was at the hotel..

Then I turned over and gasped. There was a man in my bed!

ROFL!!! I laughed aloud when I read that!!

gracepaints....that is EXACTLY the way I feel...it is so awesome!

Mine came when I went to sign my new driver's license, and actually began to sign my maiden name. I was mortified! I actually started to cry!

 

[sparassidae]

Yeah, for me it was signing in at the hotel. New name, am I still me?

And I also agree with the gap between wedding ceremony and the reception/wedding night etc. I only felt 'half married' until the next day.

hehe I had a few of those moments.

When Ben and I were dating, 10pm was my curfew so we usually left my house at around 5pm. After we had been married a few days, we were sitting around the house and Ben was like "you wanna go to Wal*Mart or something..just to get out" I looked at the clock and said "but it's 8pm, I have to be home at 10" Bedtime took me awhile to get used to..I've never shared a bed before.

I had a couple of those moments too...

When we left on our little honeymoon I naturally started to call and ask my parents if I could go...it felt soooo weird not telling them that I was leaving or getting their permission.

I also had the surprised feeling in bed the next morning of seeing my new husband in bed next to me!

Fun post!

 

[alwaysyoung]

By the way...

I respect your method of courting with a curfew. I believe that was very wise. Good for both of you!

That's so cute! LOL!

I've had my moments - even many months after my wedding - that I referred to my husband as 'my boyfriend'. I thought in the back of my head - a bit like gracepaints' feelings - "oh, that's so cool, I have a boyfriend now!" I had never had a boyfriend before, see, and I was so proud of him. We got married within a year, so I never really got used to having a boyfriend, LOL. Then my husband had to correct me, "I'm even better than a boyfriend, I'm your husband!"

Oh, and I am still not used to my married name (we've been married for 3 years). I still use my maiden name in most cases, and only when I think about it in advance I use my married name. I sign things with my maiden name - I can't make a signature out of my married name, it looks too weird. Over here it is common to keep your maiden name by the way. I'm pretty conservative for using my married name at least sometimes.

LOL! I can totally relate to that!

We've been married for about two weeks now and it still feels really wierd to be living with a guy other than one of my brothers!

We've been married more than a year and there are still times when I wake up from a deep sleep and it takes a moment for me to realize that the man in bed with me (my husband) is supposed to be there.

Cute stories.

My forgetting happened a couple of months after we were married. We ran off and eloped in March so my parents threw us a wedding reception in July. When we went to register for gifts (months after being married) I forgot that I had a new name and gave my maiden name instead. Dh was not amused. That's what happens when you do things slightly out of order, right?

I remember after we first married, we'd be making love and the phone would ring, or someone would knock at the front door, and I would jump a mile high and my heart would be racing and thumping while my stomach turned circles... like we were doing something wrong... LOL.

Ain't married life grand?!

LOL Yeah, I remember once I even stopped to answer the phone - wouldn't want anyone thinking we were UP to something, right?

Um, right, don't stop making love to answer the phone. The person on the other end doesn't want to talk to you that badly.

 

[FatBurger]

I had to double check to make sure I wasn't actually in the women's forum.


I've had quite a few of those moments, though none as big as the ones mentioned. For us, we lived apart until we got married, so EVERYTHING changed at once. I think the overall change was overwhelming enough that being married seemed like just one part of it

Yep I did that freakout over the phone/knock on the door a few times!!!

(mind you I HAD lived with him previously, and we'd shared a bed MANY times when visiting his family - so I couldn't understand why NOW I was worried about knocks and phones!!!)

My funniest story has to do with my frequent habit of falling asleep on the couch. Usually I'd do this, and wake up when Brad woke me, so just head straight to my car and go home.

A week after we married I did this, and was halfway out the door and to the car before I realised.

Where was my husband? Sitting on the couch cracking up, wondering how far I'd get before I realised...

Sasch

ROFLOL!!! What a Hoot!!

LOL!!! Twice during the honeymoon we had people knock on our door and even though we weren't doing anything at the time, that was my reaction!
