Today is our third anniversary. We’ve always been fairly low-key, either dining at home or quietly at a restaurant and just chilling together. MashAllah we’re doing well and rarely wait until an occasion if we want to get something we really want. So gift-giving is not really a priority on the anniversary.
Today was no different. But we needed to go to the mall today to run some errands, and so I suggested a game. We had 40 minutes and $20 to find a gift for the other. It was quite fun. May make it a tradition, perhaps increasing the value by $5-10 each year.
(Sorry for all the smilies; I couldn’t help myself!)
So what are the fun and romantic ways you all have celebrated wedding anniversaries?
best to you and your marriage. masha-Allah. may you always be happy and in strong kind support of your spouse.
i personally cant say anything. but, it is from a friend of mine’s happy married life, masha-Allah. her husband, made a calendar of important events that they had shared together in that year (2nd ye of their married life, then), with their pictures on the one side, and the new year's calendar on the other. And he got them spiral bound. also he made a nice dinner for her.
i think that this is very nice for a truly caring husband to do.
your fun idea sounds very good and warm innocent. i am sure that relationship is priceless. the hunt for a gift under time pressure is simply an alibi to appreciate the priceless ness of the recipient of the gift.
best wishes,
enjoy! :>
very romantic and sweet. i’m a sucker for anniversaries, be it first month, second month, first year we met, wedding anniversaries, etc., but unfortunately, it is just a ‘western’ thing (and me being from the west am obviously into it). i don’t think pakistanis in pakistan really care for it or appreciate its meaning.
anyway, congratulations on your shadi anniversary.
