Married Twice & Never Had a Honeymoon

I had been married twice, but neither experience was what I expected. My first marriage took place shortly after I graduated college, to a man who I thought would bring me all the love and happiness I had ever wanted. We were young, head-over-heels in love, and ready to start our lives together.

But things quickly changed. The honeymoon phase didn’t last long before we both went back to work and life soon became an endless cycle of bills, chores, and mundane routine. As months passed by, it felt as though we were just two ships passing in the night; never having time for each other or for ourselves. Before long we had become strangers living in the same house and eventually deciding that it was better for us to part ways before completely resenting one another.

My second marriage was no different than the first; although this time around, we never even made it to a honeymoon stage at all. We seemed so perfect for each other on paper - financially stable with similar backgrounds – but that just wasn’t enough when it came down to maintaining a meaningful connection with someone who you don't truly know or understand anymore. When 5 years passed without even being given an anniversary gift from him, I knew our relationship was over and that if I wanted true love then I had to find it within myself first.

Despite these two unfortunate experiences in my life so far, I still remain hopeful that there is real love out there somewhere in the world waiting for me - because anything is possible – like the happily ever after fairytales talk about. Without hope there is no point in believing that something brighter might be waiting ahead of us but with it comes optimism and faith even during our darkest days that can help us push through any obstacles life throws at us. And so until my fairytale arrives at my doorstep someday soon, I will continue to have faith in love despite its unpredictable nature and will never give up on finding what truly makes me feel alive inside again.

I live vicariously through my clients now when I plan their honeymoons. It brings me so much joy and happiness to know that one day I'll be planning my own.
