May 26th is me and my wife’s wedding day. This year is our fourth anniversary, or so-called “silk wedding”.
We were pretty low-key on our anniversary, as usual. We know that gifts are nice and heart-warming, but time spent together values more. If we were to celebrate, our typical choice is usually go to a nice restaurant and have an enjoyable meal together. This year, since it’s on a Tuesday, we did not dine out on the day. Instead, I bought a box of chocolate (which we both love) for my wife, which comes in simple but nice wrapping. It’s still something to “eat” (we confess we love to eat), but it’s more symbolic than dining out maybe…
I arrived home finding an e-card pickup notice sitting in my email. My wife sent me an e-card. I loved it. It’s very cute.
Our way of celebrating the anniversary is as simple as that. After all, we live a simple life. Our material desire is scanty, but we are content and happy. We know that it’s always those non-material things that have bound us together and taken us past the fourth year mark, and beyond…
If each anniversary counts as a chapter of the book of my life, then today, a new chapter begins. And I know I am writing this new chapter everyday with a “good old friend”.
