10th Soon

How ridiculous is it that we’ve never celebrated a single anniversary since we got married in 2005? Nope, no anniversaries since 2005, and no anniversaries since we became a couple in 2001 either NOT because we didn’t want to celebrate ‘em but because we both suck at dates.

Remember that year we unknowingly spent anniv night razing down each other’s cities in Civilization 4 (but no, not with band saw blades, thank God!)? But well, better Civ than Zuma hahaha!

Well, I solemnly swear not to forget this year (and to make sure I don’t, I’ve booked us a Baguio-Sagada vacation, the details of which are being mapped out by Kara, the travel engineer, and sent to you via emails which you have not replied to just yet).

Also, you may be relieved to know that the next time around that we tie the knot, I want to do things on a smaller scale. No wedding planners, airconditioned churches, gowns heavier than I am, flying in photographers who demand painful and ridiculous poses, or sending of invites to people we barely know. It will be a wedding we plan, a wedding we pay for—it will be small; it will be simple; it will be enough. There should just be our nearest and dearest; there should be laughter; there might be singing; there will be dancing; there should be love.

What was it that Iris said? “I don’t care about rings, and I don’t care if the wedding is smaller than my feet. I just want to be with you.”

Happy 10th year together, roommate!
