Among her many wonderful qualities, I must say that my loving wife is a fan of breakfast. In fact, she’s a fan of the entire “three meals a day” eating philosophy, while I’ve been content to eat only once a day for several years now.

Well, that has changed since our wedding last week. At least for now, anyway. For the past week, I’ve been eating a healthier diet of more than one meal a day, including breakfast. And today is the first day that I’ve eaten breakfast and then come to work with a lunch packed. It’s a new and eye-opening experience, that’s for sure.

Combining households is not easy. I’ve been in the process of combining everything I own with everything my fiancée Molly owns, and I’m sorry to say that we have too much stuff.

I know we both like to think of ourselves as generally not consumer driven. She likes to live a generally simple and spare life as far as decorating and household items is concerned, and I try to keep my purchases to a minimum. But we still have too much stuff.

I’m getting married in August. It’s only three months away. Still, I can’t wait.

When I first got engaged to Molly, the advice I heard most often from friends and family alike was to nod and smile. My friends who were already married or who were engaged themselves all told me that the wedding day is a much bigger deal to Molly than it will ever be to me, so I should be ready to agree with her, to help when needed, and to (most importantly) stay out of Molly’s way when I’m not needed.

Share your experiences as a single suburbanite.

My wife is the most wonderful girl in the world.

I love her more than, well, Tigger loves to bounce. (Yeah, I know -- cheesy. But when you fall in love, you can't help it.)

We go together like peas and carrots, steroids and home runs, or Bert and Ernie.
