Nine




Nine years ago, it was on this day (March 16 - wanted to post this yesterday) that B and I became man and wife. We can't believe our marriage is 9 years old. It feels like 2 or 3, but the two boys stand proof of the age of the married life. The wedding was a goal we had to strive for. To get the consent and blessings of both sets of parents. To work out the logistics of ceremonies. To pick a date (we picked the 6th anniversary date of when we realized we were not just 'friends' any more). To arrange the reception hall and menu.To print out invitations. The whole day, right from morning, we both were nervous. It was a wedding and decision we both were mainly responsible for.

Nine years later, I am glad for everything I have. I cherish all the memories of togetherness.
For the moments, when we smiled and laughed together. For the innumerable times I said something and did not get a response back and I had to nag (see, I had no choice!). For the arguments which ended peacefully and those that left an unpleasant feeling! For the two bundles of joy! Here's to the nine years and many more years of togetherness. B, are you reading this?

Happy Anniversary to you and hubby!!! I wish you both many, many more happy years together.

Coincidently, today is also my "legal" marriage anniversary (as opposed to my Hindu marriage anniversary, which is 10 days away) (Enought about me!)

Have a happy day with the family!!!

Happy 9th Anniversary! Don't look at the kids for proof of your long marriage! If you feel its only 2 to 3 years, you are lucky and just believe in it! :-)
