After we popped open the bubbly and called our parents, we both sat at our places at the dinner table and fell into deep contemplation. Something big just happened and I think we both needed a moment to take it in. After a few minutes of joyful silence, I suddenly wondered, what is this going to change? At the time, we had been dating for 3.5 years and living together for 2 of those years. We established a separate joint account and were even on a shared cell phone plan. We spent Christmases with both families and knew each other parents pretty well. We even took one another into consideration when accepting our current jobs. I wasn't sure what would change. My last name? Maybe, but I'll save that for another post.
So I asked Mr.Papaya Dog what would change. He thought for a minute and said, "in our everyday lives, probably not much. In the grand scheme of things, probably a lot but I'm not sure what that change is." I still am trying to quantify what will change. The one change I do notice is talking about kids isn't a someday daydream but suddenly something that will happen one day. Anyone notice any immediate changes besides the wedding planning?
