When you're dealing with a tragedy, it can feel like you'd do anything for an ordinary day.
Monica Weseloska felt like that once before she realized how challenging those ordinary days can be.
Jennifer Goodwin reads Monica's essay clinging to each other we survived the storm.
Shes known for her work in big love and Once Upon a time.
And you can see Jennifer in the Twilight zone on CB's All Access.
Every couple has a story, and this was ours.
We were prepared to weather storms for our wedding.
We skipped the tissue paper and cream colored cardstock of standard invitations.
Instead, we glued a photograph of ourselves swing dancing onto a black and white picture of stormy ocean waves.
If marriage meant sticking through the hardest of times, we believed we could do it.
Barely out of our twenties, we thought we had seen enough of life to know after all.
On the day David asked me out for a date at the office where we worked, I told him my brother had just died and my father was near death.
Instead of fleeing, David got down on one knee by my swivel chair and said, that must be hard.
For years, our story suited us.
For years it explained us as a couple, despite our differences.
