Yes I Got Married

BrideYes, I got myself married this past weekend. At 49 I decided to get married later in life that way ‘till death do us part doesn’t take as long. Getting married is actually pretty fun, you should try it some time. If you do, then you might want to have a look at somewhere like Manlybands.com as they have a great selection of wedding bands that could look great on your finger.

I’m not sure why I waited so long. I had enough people asking me, “Aren’t you afraid you’ll die alone?” Maybe I realized the only people who ever ask that question are people who have never been married. That’s only a question always single and lonely hearts ponder. Seems that for those who have tied the knot dying alone is a viable option. I always wanted to get married at some point though, and I’ve always liked the idea of something like a stag weekend in Prague. As you can probably tell, only the former actually happened. Prague will have to wait till my next marriage.

Maybe it took me a while to settle down because I was attracted to the wrong women. There were a few times when I liked it but it already had a ring on it. Maybe I was afraid of same-sex marriage. No, not the homosexual kind. I mean after you get married it’s all the same sex.

Yes, you have to keep it interesting or it gets boring. Do you know when the 50 Shades of Grey movie comes out? Valentine’s Day. Nothing says romance like wine, roses, and an anal hook. I guess romance really is a pain in the ass.

Okay, enough of the old marriage jokes. They have all been done before by better comics. Truth is I just couldn’t make a decision. There is a theory suggesting that if you are asked whether you want coffee or tea two universes are created; one in which you choose coffee and the other one in which you choose tea. You exist in the universe of the choice you make and that sets you on a path of yet further choices. It doesn’t mean one choice is right or wrong. The only wrong choice is not making a decision. Don’t sit still in your time and place or it will slip by you.

Sure, there is risk in getting married. Some people leave wrecked marriages with nothing but the shirt on their back. However, there is risk in being single too. Certain problems in life are much better handled by two people.

I finely learned it was time to make a bold choice and set a new path for myself.

I’ll probably drop dead tomorrow.

  1. What a great piece, and warm hugs on choosing love (I’m reading between the lines of anal hooks and parallel universes). Finding the person who rocks your universe enough to effect change is well worth the wait.

  2. As the Matron of Honor in your wedding and your wife’s best friend of 21 years, I want to say that you did the right thing in waiting to marry. You have a jewel for a wife and you could not have made a better choice. And you are so right, certain problems in life are best handled by two people. It’s nice to know you have someone there who will have your back and stand beside you no matter what. I know, because I have a husband and a best friend who is all of that to me. Way to go Bill! And again, welcome to the family!!
