Katherine this post resonated so much with me. Although I wasn't previously married, I had come from a broken home and had seen what I used to refer to as the 'hell that is marriage.' I had spent my 20s and early 30s avoiding it like the plague and always ensuring that I was independent in very much the same manner that you mentioned in the blog until like you I met the person who I started to build a life and who I now call my husband. I've been married for 6 years now, and although I never thought it would feel different after we said our vows because we had already started to build a life together and so many parts of our lives were already intertwined, I'll never forget waking up the next morning of our wedding and realising something had shifted in both of us, like a quite deeper love and respect had awoken in us. So with that being said I wish you and Hayden a wonderful engagement and I look forward to all the wedding planning and bridezilla moments but most importantly I wish you a deeper, quieter love that lasts a lifetime.

Love this and while it seems blindingly obvious the view that we can change our mind is something that gets in people’s way soo much!! It’s crazy, congratulations!!

This is so beautiful, and exactly the kind of “it’s okay to explore all the grey areas of our beliefs and convictions” story that’s breathtaking on the dawn of a near year. A huge congratulations to you both.

Congrats on your love and the upcoming big celebration from Copenhagen 💕 As someone who stumbled from one serious relationship into the next, eloped and got married in Vegas, I very much salute your bravery to change your mind and choose love and put the past (decisions) behind you🙏🏽♥️
