As the seasons went on as did their lives. Amber and and Michael were wed with a beautiful ceremony. It was at Amber’s home in Georgia, they have an older mansion, something that seems to walk out of Pride and Prejudice the Kira Knightley version. The ceremony was beautifully done, outside with closest friends and family, they did not want anything to be over done, simply and elegant, it fit both of their taste and personalities perfectly. Now the walls of their house is filled with photographs of their magical day, family, and honeymoon. Sitting in their living room on a love seat in front of the fire. Michael reads a book while Amber rest her feet across her lap and crochets a scarf for her husband. It seems so picturesque. Their life continues this way through out their marriage.

At least this is how Amber sees the rest of their relationship should be. Michael goes on with the life he saw for them. At least how he saw his life going, he just needed someone who wanted to fill the role. He woke up on the same day everyday, had his coffee, read the paper, then would fold his paper under his arm and walk out to his car and drive to work. Without a fail he had done this daily. Amber but was not one for routine as Michael would. She would wake up early some mornings, work out or lounge around, or meet friends. It was all about keeping status with her married and non-married friends. The role of a husband that was seen in movies and every little girl told is what kind of man they are to look for is what she found. Not only did she want all her friends to know, but she wanted to be reminded every morning that she made it all the way through her check list.

“Honey could we have a wine tasting tomorrow night?”

“A wine tasting?”

“Yes the girls and I have been talking about getting our friends from school together. You know that is how we meet. Your frat and my sorority had a mixer and then sparks just flew. Now that we are out of school our circles have grown and we would like everyone to get together.”

“Amber we’re not in school anymore we can’t just have mixers.”

“Yes now it will be better because we will have more to talk about without all the flirting and hormones. Simply conversations and mingling.”

“So it will be a couples night.”

“No we will have all our friends. Not all of then have someone or is married.”

“So it will be just like college, just better alcohol, and smarter flirting. Well smarter is not guaranteed.”

“Honey please!” Amber looked at Michael as if he wasn’t even there. She already saw the set up of the night.
