Ten years.

TEN F*ING YEARS.
I know that, once you have a proper anniversary, you're not really meant to keep celebrating the anniversary of that time you agreed, in a dark corner of some skanky nightclub, that you should probably start calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend.
Already the date is losing whatever significance it once held, so much so that I would have forgotten it completely (it was yesterday) if it wasn't also my friend's birthday. After this year, we will probably let it sink quietly into oblivion. The last thing we need is another anniversary to keep track of. (Fin has already expressed his disbelief at the fact we will have been married for three years in June. Rightly so, since it's actually two years. In July. And so it begins...)
But something about ten years feels worth noting. A decade. You only get seven or eight of those in a lifetime, if you're lucky. And at 28, we've already spent a whole one with each other. There's something comforting in that, but it's also oddly disconcerting. Ten f*ing years.
Here's to the next ten, hubster. Bring it on.
This photo was probably taken some time in Autumn 2002. LOOK AT THE BABY FACES.

Aw, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongragulations ! You guys look so sweet (and cool too)
ReplyDeleteAwwww. Adorable. xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's a bit weird, isn't it? I think you must celebrate these milestones (and then just have one anniversary) because it is an important moment in your life. Here's to another 10, 20, 30 years.
ReplyDelete(and love Fin's comment about your wedding anniversary. Perfect)
Aw, happy anniversary! Ten years is definitely worth celebrating - here's to many more!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too cute in that picture. Happy anniversary!

Congratulations ! It is not such an easy thing to achieve !
ReplyDeleteCongrats! We're coming up on our...8 year dating anniversary in a couple weeks and we don't really celebrate it anymore, but I do like to track it. It is simply mind-blowing that so much time has gone by - and how much we've grown together - and in our late thirties, we will have spent more of our lives knowing our partners than we have on our own.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that picture! Happy anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteToday marks ten years since James drunkenly texted me declaring his feelings, which is why I was being mushy this morning, although things didn't get 'official' for us until August so I can't properly celebrate the milestone until then.
You guys are adorable! I personally think these anniversaries are totally worth celebrating. Here's to many, many more!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that Finn hasn't really got much of a clue when you got married! Men: they're an alien species (as I think I said before when he thought that booze and Dorritos represented all the major food groups)
ReplyDeleteaww I love the photo! we're about to have our unofficial and uncelebrated 6th anniversary this weekend (and I only remember it because one of Brian's nephews was born around the time I let him call me girlfriend, so I'll always know about how long it's been)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Life is meant to be celebrated & 10 years together sounds like a call for a celebration!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And I love the fact that Fin thinks you have been married longer - M thinks we have been together longer than we have too and I take it as a compliment!
ReplyDeleteLook at you! You're both CHILDREN! Utterly adorbs. I shall raise a glass to you both tonight!
ReplyDeleteAnd honestly, I wouldn't look askance if you kept on remembering this day. We don't do much with the day we met anymore, but it's fun to recognize it.
April 10, 1993. That's when Rebecca and I started officially dating. And we just hit 15 years of married bliss - which we celebrated in separate states. As you do.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time wrapping my head around your 10 year mark though.
Congratulations! 10 years is momentous and I think well worth celebrating.
ReplyDeleteWe hit 10 in December and I very much plan on celebrating it, along with our wedding anniversary in January, until we hit 10 married years I'm going to cling on to a second anniversary to celebrate those early years!
Love this! Me and Mike, married in June, will have been 'official' for 10 years in December.. and yes I am marking that over 6 months married! 10 years, our whole twenties etc... But yes, once the 10 is passed, I doubt that anniversary will be celebrated much more (until 20 years!) *(39 thats scary!)
ReplyDeleteSo congratulations, 10 years is a big deal :)
