My Brother’s Getting Married — and she’s lovely
Congratulations. This could well be the best thing ever. Don’t screw it up.
Let me clarify. Marriage changes nothing. Sure you may swap surnames, co-habitate, have more kids, etc. But at the heart of it you’re still dating - divorces happen all the time, and to more people than you’d like to think about. Things can still fall apart, and so very easily. So that’s my piece of advice to you - don’t relax - don’t think that marriage is forever, because if you think that way it won’t be. Paradoxical, ain’t it? Keep up the involvement and the passion and all the rest, just as though each date could be the last and you never know, you could actually get to happily ever after. I hope so.
