My definition  of marriage

Our beginning is totally cliche and overused
High school acquaintances, both moved to start a career  
A friend request you sent, by my bubbly nature I accepted  
 
Conversing you persuaded me into tossing out my digits
Completely engulfed, a strong friendship we made
Life struggles, we conquered in the first week of dating
 
Fast pace, we were cruising and agreed, "hey let's get married"
Two weeks it took to say I do
Life smacks us hard, we never miss our groove  
 
Babies, babies, changing your direction
Glance into your heart, how profound it is to be parenting
You were not ready to be a daddy
Your ego grew and I always forgave you  
Young, drunk and dumb was your history  
 
Separated and unplanned, awaken you became
You still wanted control and I said here take chunks of my energy  
Now frazzled and drained, I am on the brink of leaving  
Blurred, I only see spotty portraits of that white cake
The sweet taste smudged against my face and the way you licked your lips
 
Time loves to cause a stampede with memories
Brush the hair from my eyes, I feel the hail falling as I cry  
Is this what "and they lived happily ever after" means
