Anniversary Rings, Weddings, and Babies: Stress! (Jash Adams)

Tying that proverbial knot is quite possibly the most stressful and exciting day in a couple's life. Many aspects of the wedding festivities could potentially go wrong. It is actually expected for crazy things to happen, such as people being late or the possible rainstorm. Try not to worry too much about what could happen at your wedding - instead, focus on what will happen. Count on tempers flaring. Count on spilling wine on your wedding dress. Count on anything that could possibly go wrong because then - and only then - will you be able to fully enjoy yourself. Like the saying goes, "Plan for the best, but prepare for the worst." That statement could not be any more true than on your wedding day.

Once you make it through the wedding, you're able to depart for your honeymoon. This should be a relaxing time for a couple. You get to contemplate your many, many upcoming years together, and tell your husband exactly what type of anniversary ring you wish to receive every year. Of course, he will not forget anything you say on your honeymoon. Enjoy your luxurious week or two in the Virgin Islands because when you come home, it will be back to the daily grind for you and for your beloved. Gone are the white sandy beaches and fruity, tropical drinks.

Say hello to the aftermath of your wedding. While you were gone, your friends and family were making sure all of your wedding gifts made it to your home, checks were deposited into your account, and (of course) they kept your animals alive so you could have a stress free vacation with your beloved. Thank the Lord for friends like that! However, if your friends are anything like mine, you will have lots more cleaning to do when you get home. Still, this is not the end of the world.

After a few weeks of settling back into your normal routine of working and coming home to a spouse, you will then be pressured by all of your coworkers and family to start popping out babies. This introduces a whole new stress level to your already hectic life. So, after your husband gives you the gorgeous anniversary ring you described on your honeymoon one year ago, you can tell him you are pregnant. This begins another stressful time in your life. You must now forget about everything you want and put your child's needs at the top of the list.
