How they got married without wedding
While noting that they never had a wedding or have rings, Oyin disclosed that they only registered their marriage and went home as a couple.
She added that they decided to save towards their relocation and start a family together.
Oyin spoke highly of her partner, saying no one else understands her like he does. She, however, highlighted some thought-provoking aspects of their marriage. Her lengthy post read:
"1. It’s our anniversary today. We’re three years married and we never had a wedding. And we don’t have rings. We registered our marriage and went home and that was it. We decided to put our savings towards relocating and starting our family together.
"2. We don’t have it all figured out and even though my first instinct is always to run away when things get hard. Having a partner who wants to stay and fix things makes me confront my ugly side and work on becoming a better person.
"3. There are days I don’t feel the butterflies and it’s completely normal to not feel like you’re falling in love everyday. Your relationship will go through so many changes but as long as you still love this person and want to make it work that’s all that matters.
"4. People never change and their flaws only deepen the longer you are together. It’s also easier to find your flaws when there’s someone to point it out to you. The best thing you can do is have a partner willing to communicate, compromise and listen.
"5. I truly believe no one else can understand me the way my partner does. And some things just don’t make sense to others but it makes perfect sense to us. Either of us is fine with being alone but we’ve realised we just prefer not to be.
"6. Even though “people never change” we’ve both grown in ways we never imagined we needed to. And while life can be very tiring sometimes, it’s easier when you have someone worth being tired for."
