Yesterday, I said “I do” to the love of my life. It was the happiest, most emotional day of my existence. After all the laughter, dancing, and joy, today was our very first morning as husband and wife. And instead of letting it pass by like any ordinary day, I decided to do something special: step into the kitchen and cook for my wife.
Now, I’ll be honest—I’m not a professional chef. I don’t spend hours in the kitchen every day. But cooking has always been, for me, a gesture of care, of love, of presence. And what better way to start this new journey of marriage than by preparing a meal with my own hands?
Why Cooking Felt So Important Today
Marriage is not just about promises; it’s about actions. Every small gesture builds the foundation of our life together. This morning, I woke up before my wife, tiptoed to the kitchen, and thought: “What can I make that will not just feed her, but show her how much she means to me?”
Food has always been more than calories. It carries emotions, memories, and meaning. The act of preparing something fresh and wholesome felt symbolic: just like this new chapter of our lives, it was fresh, full of colors, and prepared with intention.
