We didn’t kill each other!
And we made it to the 3rd year!
Today’s our 3rd wedding anniversary. A few months before I arrived in the US in 2019, I had already decided I wanted our courthouse wedding to be on 8th August, for 2 reasons.
- I know how bad Art ( and most men
) is with dates and I wanna make it easy for him to remember our wedding date ( and my wedding anniversary gift/s 
) therefore I chose 8.8 - 8 is a lucky for us Chinese and is associated with wealth.
We need all the luck ( and wealth too!
) in the world to make this marriage work! It’s not easy being born 2.5 decades apart. Listening to different genre of music. Well, it’s him that can’t tolerate my choice of music
Different upbringing. Different religion. Different food. Different cultures. Different beliefs.
A lot of times I’ve been tempted to perform some sleep study on him. MiMi’s version is smothering him with a pillow
I bet there were many a time when we were having an argument, he would’ve wanted to spend the night at the shed, errrrr……I mean, the hotel We might have all those differences, but we also have a lot of laughs between us. Every morning, he fills up my water container for me. He makes sure I have my dental and health insurance well taken care of. He sneaks my favorite chips into our shopping cart. He’s concern about my son’s wellbeing, and my daughter’s too even though she’s thousands of miles away. Above it all, he respects my friends. He’s nice to them and will go all out to make them ( especially the ones that I really really like! ) happy because he knows that will make his MiMi happy too.
A good marriage is one that makes room for love, patience, understanding, truth, as well as all your shoes, clothes, and bags. Happy anniversary to my husband who lets me have all the room that I want.
“Happy Anniversary! We’ve been through a lot together and most of it was your fault.”
Marriage Has No Guarantees. If That’s What You’re Looking for, Go Live with A Car Battery
Married life is much like a deck of cards. You start off needing only two hearts and a diamond. The more years pass, you’ll just wish that you have a club and a spade instead!
Let’s celebrate the day you gave up on finding anyone better than me. Happy anniversary!
Thank you in advance for any well-wisher
Oh! When this guy walked in, for a moment I thought it was Jeff Bezos!
