I had a dream the other night that I had just gotton married. It was weird and didn't feel like I thought marriage would feel like. It was a bit foreboding... I remember that my bride had to leave for some reason right after the wedding, and I went to stay with my parents for a few days before she returned. She wasn't very happy about going and that made the first few days of our marriage very hard. In fact, I felt particularly bad because in the dream, I didn't tell my family that I had gotton married. We were married in secret and didn't even have a chance to go out and find proper rings. My ring was actually a girls ring with a clump of green metal where a jewel would normally be. I turned it around on my hand so that all that was visible from my backhand side was the band. I also tried to live at home for a few days hiding my hand from view of my family, because they would feel bad about not having been invited to the wedding. When my bride returned, (I don't know who she is in real life... she had dark hair and dark skin) she wasn't happy at all with the way things were going. She didn't cry, but she didn't have to. I took my ring off and I took her ring off and I said that we would have to act like we were starting over. We couldn't separate because that would be getting a divorce even though we were legally married. We would just have to act like we were starting to date again and go through the whole process again, including the wedding for our parents. She didn't like the idea but couldn't think of anything better. It was very difficult trying to get along with someone in that situation. We had to constantly remind ourselves that no matter what it looked like, we knew that in the end we would be together and happy again. It was like we read the last page of a book first and now we have to go through the whole novel to get back there.
