I do feel different, but in a good way. At one point during the reception, Brooke went to use the restroom (a two person chore with her dress), and I didn't know it. So I said to my friend Sarah, "where's my wife?" Then I stopped for a second, smiled, and had a moment in my own head. First time I ever referred to her as "my wife." It was awesome.

Brooke and I have been a couple since we were in school together at UF (7 years now), and have lived together almost the entire time. We were never in a rush to get married, and I'm SO glad we waited, because everything about the wedding felt perfect. It's not like there were some mysteries about each other that had yet to come to light. We've always been happy together, but we both feel like it's on a whole new level now (obviously).
