Alanis Morrisette glad she waited for perfect hubby

Alanis Morrisette is glad she kept searching for the perfect husband. The Ironic singer married rapper Mario ‘Souleye’ Treadway in June 2010 and she is happy made sure she only tied the knot when she found her ‘Mr. Right’ even though it took her a long time to convince herself walking down the aisle was the right thing to do.

“If I was to be part of the marriage conversation at all, I was not prepared to make a lifelong decision based on adherence to or rebellion toward something. There had to be a third way!” she wrote on her blog.

“And so began my passionate foray into all-things-research around a simple question: Why would I even entertain getting married?”

Now she has taken the plunge, however, Alanis has realized it encompasses all she thought it would, and – while it is not by any means easy – both she and Mario are growing together and she is grateful for not giving up looking for the right person.

“I now spend an inordinate amount of time outside of my habitual behaviour wheelhouse and slowly, almost imperceptibly, I am beginning to become unrecognizable, knowing that this will eventually feel familiar and HOME,” she added.

“I thought getting married would be beautiful – and it is. I thought marriage would be hard – and it is. And I thought someone whose bones I would want to jump who also shared my new definition of marriage would be hard to find — and it was.

“But as my dear friend said to me during a particularly despair-filled moment, ‘You only have to find one.’ And I did. And I’m so grateful I kept the flame vision alive, and didn’t give up before I met him. (sic)”
