Like ‘sands through the hourglass’ . . .


Welcome to the Jewlyweds blog. Having navigated through Tales of a Jewish Bride-to-Be, there is a whole new world that needs a map, a compass and a bottle of Arrowhead. Luckily, this time I get to chart a new path with my husband.

As we start this journey, I have to confess something:

I was wrong. So very wrong. I thought after the wedding was over, my husband and I would have plenty of time to just relax and enjoy without having to meet with vendors or pick out things for our registries or deal with an ever-growing guest list.

What an idiot I was. Before I was engaged, my life was jam-packed with events and meetings and family and errands and travel. Why in the world would I think that after my insane life became a part of my husband’s insane life that it all would be any easier?

I blame pop culture. With the exception of “Father of the Bride II,“ you don’t get sequels to wedding movies. I’d like to see “While You Were Sleeping 2: All the Stuff I Did While You Were Still in Bed”; “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2”: The Family Comes for Dinner – Again”; or “When Harry Met Sally 2: Life on the Side.”

This weekend we have family in town; the weekend after we are free – as far as I know, for the moment, I think. The week after, my husband is off to bring technology to the Heartland. Then the following weekend we have a conference. Not to mention Purim and Pesach-related activities. I think things will start to slow down after that – but as I noted above, I’ve been wrong before. I’d love to know if other newlyweds feel the same.

Forget about a wedded bliss weekend – we’re looking for five minutes where we don’t have to be somewhere or do something. If you can send us five minutes of your time, we’re starting up a collection.

Dear Jewlywed,
Eventually things will slow down. You will eventually exchange everything on your regestry, your photographer will give you your photographs and DVDs, and you will settel into a comfortable routine. Until then, try to take those five minutes a day just to sit and converse with your hubby. Before you know it the five will turn into ten and more.

I agree both with Hana and with Anonymous. Time for yourself will be a luxury for you especially when you have kids. But eventually, when you get to learn to manage, you’ll find time for yourself. smile
