Married Life | Short Film

Hailey and I got married on June 25th last year. Since that day we often get the question, "How's married life?". So here's a little short film that answers that very question.
Inspired by the Pixar movie "UP".

Whatever bud definitely not cool as partying and hanging out with hot chicks every weekend. 🤡

[@Angel-ts8rc]

[@Nomad1025]

@@recursion.thats only “cool” for people who are shallow and have no real depth or maturity yet. People who have really experienced life are seeking real depth with real emotions, not quick gratification that leaves one with nothing of substance after it’s over. I know this is alien to you right now, because you are inexperienced in these things, but some day, you may actually connect with another person and begin to make real memories, and you are gonna be blown away with how deeply satisfying it is, compared to the shallow and selfish rush that may have been your only source of pleasure to this point. But trust us who have gone there, the pleasure is deeper and richer than anything you can imagine compared to your experience of partying.

​@@recursion. If you think so, buddy. I'm not going to tell you how to live your life. Only one advice. Spend some time with people who are 50+ with no family to check if you want to be like them in the future. For me it was no, no. I'm married for 7 years now, have 3 kids and never felt more fulfilled in my life.

Exactly like our apartment in 1991 when we first married. Awww. Such good memories. Wholesome. Thank you.

[@evb25]

This is what marriage is about- living out the ins and outs of daily life, the big, the small, the mundane, the extraordinary. Your spouse will be (should be) there for you to care for you, love you, support you, help you out with slicing onions because it makes you cry... It's not the grand gestures that dictate how good your marriage will be, it's the basic, day-to-day things that speak "I love you!" that makes married life so worth it. With unrealistic expectations in our digital age, it's hard not to compare what social media posts there are about this or that cool wedding or proposal, but in reality, this is not what real life looks like... It is THIS VIDEO that truly encapsulates it. Well done, brought happy tears to my eyes. God's blessings to you both ❤️ -wife and mum (together 14 years, married for 10, 3 young kids)

[@philipakala528]

I'm a cinematographer from Kenya, and I can say, I'm just in love with the cinematography, it's legit with great visual storytelling. Big up.

I was worried about clicking this video thinking it would be one of the usual "haha my partner sucks am I right?" kind of videos... I'm glad this was not the case! This brings back some memories in a great way for me, thanks for sharing.

[@ckhicks]

Wholesome to the max! So glad you made this. Do another one in a few years. My wife and I are about to hit year eight: three children, two miscarriages, several moves, and lots of lessons learned. It’s a wild ride that looks totally ordinary but is the most fulfilling pursuit of anything we could do with our lives. Many congrats and enjoy the journey.

[@threearrows2248]

Sweet video guys. My husband and I had this only for about a year until baby #1 came. 10 years later, we have 4 and this existence seems like another lifetime. But when all my kids have spouses of their own and are living in their own little places, it'll be me and the old man again. I absolutely LOVE my children, but I'm looking forward to having that back again ♥️

[@patsthebunny]

Absolutely loved this video! My favourite shots were definitely the ones of you guys looking at the mess left on the ground and then the little face of like, "dang it." And the shot where your wife calls you for dinner - that framing is so nice!

[@B-RaDD]

Had to watch 3 times. I'm not married but I think I've found my person. Going on 3 years. I sent her this video too. Having someone to share memories and enjoy life with has truly got to be the meaning of life and it's purpose. I loved this video. So simple. Perfect.

[@mhubers3]

In recent years, the institution of marriage seems to be losing its popularity among many people. However, despite this trend, it is heartwarming to witness young couples still expressing great enthusiasm and happiness in tying the knot. It is a beautiful thing to see them embracing the joy in spending their lives together.

[@hudycat]

That was really sweet. It shows how married people can be individuals and a team at the same time. I think that's one of the most important things in a marriage. When children come along, it's vital to the success of a marriage to put extra energy into making sure you continue do these things.

[@emikotagahushi941]

This made me tear up it was so beautiful! This is how I want my marriage to be. We help each other do normal daily things, get a little annoyed at stuff the other person does, but ultimately we’re there for each other and balance the work out. We can do our own thing but still be present, and we always make time to spend together.
