Having told you of and probably surprised you with the news of having married, I imagine you would like to hear and see a little more about Peter and me. So how does it feel to be married?
The answer is very simple: It feels wonderful. Being with Peter is so easy and beautiful because we are so similar in our ways of being and are so good for each other. I really feel I have arrived. I feel at home.
Another lovely thing is that we are not only very much alike on the inside, but also on the outside. Both having about the same height, shoe size, androgynous figure, and taste in fashion, we enjoy switching clothes – half of the things in my wardrobe are from the men’s department anyway. Clothes switching happened accidentially the first time, when I stepped into Peter’s jeans one morning and did not realize they were his because they fit so well. I could have realized, however, that they fit so much better than my own! We also share sweaters and jackets which is fun and feels very comfortable.

It is nice to have some of Peter’s things here in my apartment because it feels like he was always around. Next to some clothes and bathroom stuff, one pair of running shoes now lives with me. I still have not given up the plan to engage in running myself (although I do not have an easy access to running), and being married to a person who enjoys running gives me some hope. This is a project for days that are a little warmer, though.
What we are more dissimilar in is our ways of eating. Peter is a vegetarian for allergy reasons – he is allergic against fish, meat, and eggs which go well with me, but he can eat dairy products, soy, and gluten which I am allergic against. In consequence, I have some new regular tenants in my fridge now.
~ alcohol-free beer (for me) and orange juice ~
~ jam, yoghurt, curd, cheese, and tofu ~
Breakfast for me might look like this:
And for Peter, more like this:
Anyway, we enjoy puttering around in the kitchen and preparing meals together.
~ breakfast 
~
~ dinner ~
Of course there also is a nice intersection of things we both enjoy to eat, and we have very similar preferences when it comes to seasoning, what makes everything very easy.
~ lots of vegetables are an essential part of every dinner ~
~ I cook a lot of tummy-friendly legumes … ~
~ … and have dug out Cuckoo the rice cooker ~
Peter has told me that he feels better without wheat and cow’s milk (although he still eats them because they are such an easily available source of energy) and wishes to shift more towards a healthier diet based on vegetables, legumes, rice, cultured dairy products, nuts, and healthy fats – plus this wonderful chocolate with whole roasted almonds 
we both love so much, which does not give me any allergy or blood sugar issues for whatever mysterious and wonderful reasons.
Also, he has immediately fallen in love with homemade almond milk that we finish off in hilarious amounts, being coffee and tea addicts.
~ this will last for one day and a little more ~
I am very happy to be with somebody who is open to embark on the healthy eating journey, and once more I am thankful for everything I have read and learned about nutrition in the past few years. I think what will work the best as a basis for the two of us is a gluten-free and soy-free vegan diet, enriched by some dairy products for Peter and some fish, seafood, and poultry for me. I still long for reducing animal products to the miminum I need to be healthy, and want to eat more legumes and rice, but I have slipped a little bit out of this during my stressful final exam phase last year. So, this plan perfectly fits the optimal Kath diet. It is also wonderfully comfortable with the Peter diet. And I just enjoy cooking a lot of healthy foods anyway.
So this is how life looks like right now. I am very happy and looking forward to all the years to come. Peter is my soulmate and my family. He calls me “my funny little wife”. 
Wow. Just wow. So happy for you, Kath!
Thank you so much, Stephanie! I’m very happy, and Peter is as well, and I think you can see it in the pictures.
Thank you for sharing Kath, I have to say as newly weds you and Peter are much more compatible than my hubby and I ever were, hahah! It’s great to find someone you are similar with, yet still have your own identity. It took me years to figure it out, though once I’ve adapted that attitude, my husband and I worked through our differences and grew up together.
Best of luck to you and Peter, I like the nick name he has for you!
I think developing towards each other is the most important thing. With Peter and me, of course there are differences as well, although we’re quite similiar in many regards, but those differences are fine when you respect and appreciate them. They also prevent that you become a “couple monster”.
It makes me happy that you’re so happy! Congratulations, Kath <3
Thank you, Katy!
I’m enjoying your joys. Thanks for all the photos of your new married life. I love how you two are entwining your foods….some similar some differences..some overlaps….all within a larger container of mutual respect and intentions to harmonize.
My husband and I are also very close in size and can wear some of each others’ clothing. One Halloween we each dressed as the other. He wore a wig and one of my dresses etc. I wore his clothes and tucked my hair up under one of his hats. Truely very fun.
Blessings on your life together!
I’m always touched by the kindness of your comments, Gel. When I read your words I really feel there’s a connection between us.
How fun to dress as each other for Halloween! I’d have loved to see that!
So far, I just enjoy the comfort and practicality of wearing Peter’s things. Doesn’t work with his t-shirts though, because I like mine to be loosely fitting, and he likes his to be rather tight. But trousers, jackets, and hoodies work well. I wonder about shoes … 
Gosh, I will have to get used to this: you married.
Have I told you, how happy I am? I guess I did. And you are glowing. As well as Peter.
I can read love in every single sentence, in every single pick.
Love rocks!
Carry on, hun
LOL, I think I have to get used to it as well! I mean, I know I am on a rational level and I’m incredibly happy about it, but it still has to sink into my consciousness in some way.
Love is the most beautiful thing, I totally agree.
I am all smiles for you both! Love that you share your clothes
Haha, yes, we really enjoy sharing!
Oh this sounds wonderful. Cooking for and eating with a loved person is one of the great pleasures in life, isn’t it? And you can really sense the love in you words and actions.
Thank you, Clara! I’m very happy to be with someone who enjoys these simple and mindful things of everyday life, such as taking quality time and cooking a nice meal, as much as I do. It’s wonderful not to do these for just myself anymore.
Hey there, I’ve not been in this blog, the post is a dream of mine.. It looks like a exciting bright future, you both look very happy!! Thank you for sharing ..
Thank you for visiting and leaving such a kind comment, Ziggy! I’ve wished for something like this som much but never believed it might actually happen. It gives me a lot of hope for myself as well as other people that things like these actually do occur.
Thanks for sharing..you look like a happy pair..it’s beautiful !!!
Thank you, Ziggy!
THis is so beautiful to read. How you both respect each other’s diet is very loving and respectful. I’ve been tweaking with my diet (been feeling really weak). I failed, but guess that’s just part of the process.
Aww, Kim, I’m sorry to hear you’re having dietary troubles! I can so much relate to how miserable that makes you feel!
Yes, it’s a process, I hope you’ll find what works well for you soon!
making a home for each other, i love seeing this. congrats again. and happy meal planning!
Yes yes yes!
Thank you, Lindsay!
I am BURSTING with happiness for you both!! I loved seeing all the photos, all so beautiful and HAPPY.
BIG HUGS XXO
Kris
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
<3
those photos of the two of you together are just gorgeous – you look happy and like a couple. and the way you are eating together sound like perfect – like you can both learn from each other and share happily – and most importantly you both understand the importance of being tolerant of each other’s intolerances – warm wishes to both of you
Thank you so much. I really feel to be connected with Peter, I’m part of something that’s bigger than myself. It’s a wonderful feeling.
You are both so in love
I was smiling ear to ear reading this. It sounds like you perfectly compliment each other and that it must feel like you have never been without one another. Some unions are just meant to be, and this sounds so much like one of those. Love and hugs to you both xoxo
I actually wonder how we managed to be without each other … Well we were, but I think we both weren’t happy. At least I can say this for myself. Something was missing, but I didn’t know what. Somebody was missing but I didn’t know who. It was a life of waiting for better times, and keeping yourself busy to make the time go by. Happy that’s over now!
Sometimes we dont’ even know something’s missing until we have it, because we don’t know any differently. Like if you were born with only one leg, it would be pretty normal to you and you wouldn’t know what it was like to have two legs unless you suddenly grew another leg!
)
Okay that is a bad analogy because you would know you were missing a leg, being able to see others having two legs. But you still wouldn’t really miss having a leg you never had.. It sounds like Peter is like a missing puzzle piece for you and you for him (another bad analogy
Sorry – just so happy for you both xx
No bad analogies at all, Fi! I think you made a very important point! This is because it seems to me that so many people are looking or longing for something but only have a very vague idea of it or even no clue at all. It can make you search for years without orientation. To stay with the leg analogy: If you only have one leg and you see most others have two, you can of course imagine that you miss a leg, but still you can’t miss the *feeling* of having two legs … simply because you don’t know how it feels like to jump on both your feet and move around on your legs. Actually, you also wouldn’t know whether having another leg would really make you happy. Probably you’d be happy by feeling to be normal, but would still feel different even two legs, for whatever reason. Blubb blubb.
Anyway, I think it’s really important to try to find out what’s right and good for you, and I think it helps to listen to the belly feeling with this. I had a good feeling and felt attracted (in the sense of wanting to get there) by certain people and activities I stumbled across during the course of my life, and they later turned out to play a major role in my life now. But I had to take the chance and give it a try, otherwise they wouldn’t have.
You guys look really cute together, once again congratulations
Very happy for you both!
Thank you, Becky!
Happiness shines through! Y’all are adorable
My funny little wife…so cute!
Katie
PS – men’s clothing is just so much more comfortable!
Isn’t it?
And yes, I often like men’s clothes so much better! They are more comfortable, suit my style better, and often I also prefer the colors.
This post makes me happy. Congratulations on meeting your soul’s true mate.
Thank you, Maryea! Peter really is my soulmate, I’m so happy we have met!
Congratulations on your wedding! What an exciting time in your lives. Good luck with the dietary challenges – it’s sad Peter has so many allergies xx
Thank you, Charlie Louie! I’m optimistic about the dietary challenges, since Peter and I both have so many allergies we’re good at tolerating and regarding for special ways of eating. And I must also admit that I’m looking forward to trying out things. This challenge is of the kind I like.
My funny little wife – how much fun that is! And if you are similar now, give it a few years and we won’t be able to tell one from the other. Such a joy to share in this with you.
Haha, no, Peter and I won’t become interchangeable, and I’m happy about that. I very much appreciate the inspiration and learning potential that flows from our differences.
Thank you for taking such a kind interest!
Obviously Tammy introduced me to you and I am so glad she did!!!!
I just got married too and our life looks a lot like this. I am sleeping in Rohan’s choicest tees
Have a wonderful married life and I hear you are a musician! I would love to hear some of your tracks.
Cheers from India
