The sense of commitment that comes from moving through the wild ride of your 20s together.

Because it's QUITE the wild ride.

The painstaking push-pull between wanting to go out but also really wanting to stay in your pajamas and catch up on the DVR.

Striving to be an adult couple who cooks but regularly ordering takeout like you did in college.

The bliss of NOT having to be on Tinder but still hearing incredible Tinder stories from all your friends.

How cool it is to have someone who will go out and get wild with you but also get you home safely.

What it’s like to love someone as they grow up and change, and realizing that you can adore every version of them.

How surreal and hilarious it can be to figure out real adult-life things together.

The very real struggle of navigating a constant flood of questions on if (and when) you’ll have kids.

How being married doesn’t mean you’re suddenly more mature.

The art of never, ever letting someone feel like a third wheel.

How sometimes you just have to entertain yourselves at the bar while your single friends get after it.

The way that no matter how long you’ve been together, you’ll always picture them as the baby-faced person they were when you met

Learning to be the couple that's not super couple-y in your group of friends.

Getting all kinds of “Wow? You’re so young to get married!” comments — and knowing it’s the right decision.

The sense of commitment that comes from moving through the wild ride of your 20s together.

How scary it can be to take that step when so many friends are in a different phase of their lives . . .

. . . And how that fear slips away because you know you found "the one."

And finally: Looking ahead to your 30s and knowing you’ll be just fine because you’ve got your partner in crime.
