So it's November 2011, and I just got married, so everything's pretty much perfect in Adrian land.

I have a kitchen that's full of gadgets and gizmos I don't even know how to use.

Things like a bread tube.

I don't know, but I'm a wife now, so I'm going to figure out how to use it.

I have a closet full of just gorgeous new clothes that I had to buy for all the bridal showers my church threw for me and the rehearsal dinner, including this sleeveless real silk dress.

ivory button down blouse with pearl buttons that made me feel so sophisticated.

And all of these things are in our first home, which is this three bedroom house in the suburbs with a creek on the side and hydrangea bushes in the back and birds and trees.

And it's the picture perfect start to a marriage.

which is something that was really important to me at the time because I didn't have that growing up.

My parents got divorced when I was 11.

Then my dad married his mistress and then divorced her.

And when I was a teenager, my mom thought it was a great idea to date my high school principal.

Spoiler alert, not a great idea, Mom.

Thanks.

so a lot of my expectations for marriage and my values for what it should look like came from Jane Austen novels and romantic comedies but I was really doing the best I could so it's November we've been back from our honeymoon for about a week and my brother comes over to visit in our home and I'm playing

little hostess and we're on the couch watching TV and I've got snacks out and I'm showing off all of our gifts that we got for the wedding and pictures from the honeymoon and my husband Ben pops out of the bedroom to say he's going downstairs to do laundry and I think of course you are because you're the perfect husband you're going to do laundry and he goes downstairs and I keep talking to my brother and I just start to get this feeling that I think he probably he might have forgotten something you know because he's just a husband he probably just forgot

like an item in the bedroom.

So I leave my brother and I go into the bedroom and I realize that there's something missing and he's taken my real silk white blouse with the pearl buttons for my rehearsal dinner and put it into the washing machine with the blue jeans.

And I flip my shit.

I'm screaming, what have you done?
