Ben and Jen. Blake and Miranda. Can anyone explain to me why
I get a little sad when I hear about celebrity couples breaking up? I don’t
know them or the circumstances or even their romantic tale, but the evidence
that another ‘til-death-do-us-part has crashed is sad. It happens. Marriage is
work. Love is work. Writing love and romance and marriage is work, too, but we
don’t often have to figure out what happens beyond “I love you.” In “Making up
under the Mistletoe,” I have a couple wading through what happens after real
life kicks in. Josh and Ivy were high school sweethearts who married at the age
where they were certain they had life all figured out. In other words, they
were young. Now that Josh knows who he really wants to be, all of Ivy’s plans
for his life no longer fit.
But she’s still the only person he wants to see the world
with.
Together they have to figure out how to find the way back to
forever. That means a little bit of friction, a whole lot of honesty, and the
commitment to find a place that works for them both. She’s certain it’s
Christmas Town, the place where they grew up. He’s just as convinced that’s the
only place that can tear them apart. Sometimes happily-ever-after endings take
some monitoring and adjusting. Ivy and Josh understand that real love is what
happens after the wedding ceremony and forever happens one day at a time.

Cheryl, I love this kind of story. Like you, there are some celebrity breakups I get upset about, even though I don't know them. Maybe I want the relationship that looks like it's special and working to be that special. I haven't gotten to read your story yet, and I can't wait to get to it!
It's a great story, Anna! I'm still bummed about Jen and Ben and hoping they work it out.
That's exactly who I was thinking of, Liz! I so hope they work it out!
I can't imagine how hard it must be to live in that media and paparazzi bubble. That any of them make it is amazing. That said, I think if any couple reconciles, it would be those two. :) Great post, Cheryl! <3
