Beyond the Wedding Day

We have tons of advice about the wedding day, but we also have suggestions for a lasting marriage. Keep reading to meet married Clarice’s staff and their recommendations for a happy marriage!



Shannon, married for 2 months

Shannon is still a newlywed! You can read about her wedding on our blog here: https://www.claricesbridal.com/an-insider-perspective-a-clarice-s-consultant-s-very-own-wedding. She says, “As a newly married gal, I can’t give much advice. All I can say is just be there fore each other. Be each other’s listening ear. Love unconditionally, and never go to be upset with one another.”

Emily, married for 3 years

Bridal manager Emily came up with five suggestions with the help of her husband, Kyle!

1. Marriage is always a compromise,

2. Communication is key… as cliché as that sounds.

3. Spontaneity is key.

4. Get a dog before you have a baby.

5. Have a few good love songs and print out the lyrics for around your house.

Ry, married for 3 years

Ry had a dreamy beach wedding! She says, “Marriage is a story that should be written out over many years and not pre-planned in advance. Roll with the highs and lows, and you shouldn’t put so much pressure on yourself to stick to a perfect plan!”

Caitlin, married for 10 years

Caitlin and Kyle have been married for 10 years and have two sweet boys together. She suggests that couples keep the following in mind.

1. Understand that you are 2 individual people who will not always agree, learn t accept your differences and see from each other’s perspectives

2. Laugh together as often as possible.

3. You won’t always feel in love the way you did at the beginning. Make the choice to actively love them anyway. Love is action, not feeling.

Sue, with her partner for 45 years

Sue and her husband have been together since 1975 and married since 2008. She suggests making it a priority to treat one another well. They read a set of rules for a happy marriage together once a month to remind them how they should treat each other. “Everyone has feelings!” she pointed out.
