15 Entry Fifteen

Oct 16, 2015

Today was the big day. I finally got married. Before the wedding, I started to read the bible again to calm myself down. I saw a verse that seemed to fit the day perfectly. It was from Ephesians Chapter 5 verse 22: "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord."

With everything that Gared has done for me, I added this verse to my vow, as a promise to stay by his side and support him, as he did me.

That verse will be my guide through our life together, and I hope that he will never regret this day. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor had packed my things last week, on the same day that Gared announced his intent to marry me in a week.

If they had really just packed my stuff it would have taken a lot less space than the suitcases did. It seems they decided to pack all my “for show” stuff as well so that they can keep up the “perfect family” image.

The wedding has passed, and it was wonderful. Although everything was rushed, it all still seemed like a fairytale to me. Now it’s time for my wedding night.

No one had told me what would happen after marriage. I have no idea what I should prepare for, or what I should do. Gared mentioned that we should sleep in separate bedrooms, he wanted to make sure that I will feel comfortable staying with him.

I don’t understand why sleeping in a separate room will make me comfortable. I guess he is afraid that I would be scared of him. I doubt I would though. He has always been

nice after all.

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor had always slept in the same room, and so has any married couple, as far as I know. I should ask Gared about this tomorrow. For tonight, I should sleep.

I’ve been running around the whole week doing my chores and preparing for the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have not punished me for anything this week because they would like to avoid others seeing any bruises on me on the wedding day.

Everything’s finally over, I no longer have to live in that house or stay with them. Even though Gared said I should be happy and relax, I don’t understand how.

I know that he thought I was unhappy and poorly treated but I really do think it wasn’t that bad. I may have had bruises, and it might have hurt, but I still had a roof, and occasional food. I was given so many things, and would always be grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.

Now that I am married, I will be sure to make Gared happy. I should start by doing chores around the house and keeping my grades up. That always seemed to satisfy Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. I hope it does the same for Gared.
