Priceless day!

We celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary yesterday! It was a wonderful day spent reminiscing and being with the family and making me remember just how much is there in life to be grateful for — a wonderful loving husband, great kids, loving family and friends, joy, and laughter. Looking forward to the first day of the rest of our lives together….

I leave with this quote:
“Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn’t said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes.
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime
We’d find that our love is unaltered by time.”
– lyrics to “The Anniversary Waltz,” composed by Dubin/Frankl

    Hey RachnaCongratulations for your day. You guys are really stunning in that pic. In my opinion, Indians dress himself very well in their gala ocasions.Beautiful lyrics indeed, a feeling unique “We vowed our true love though a word wasn’t said”, not everyone can hear words that are not spoken. Congrats again Rach!!

    @David Thank you for the compliment and the warm words. Yes, we do dress up vibrantly, and I think that our ethnic dresses like saris, ghagra cholis and salwars look so beautiful. And, our weddings are very colorful too!You are right, not everyone can hear unspoken words. But, after 10 years together, there are times we can even hear each other’s thoughts. Of course, we have our ups and downs, but the positives give me the strength to tide over the negatives. As you know, women are such sentimental beings!

    @suffix Thanks so much!@Jon Thanks! And, you are right. Keeping a relationship alive and happening for so many years requires effort and awareness from both sides. Good communication, respect for each other, love, and not taking each other for granted among other things helps :).@RGB I truly hope so! Thanks for the wishes.@Aathira Good to hear from you. Hope you are well. Yes, 10 years does feel awesome before it feels like the years flew by. First anniversary is so special too. Hope you have a great time.

    “there are times we can even hear each other’s thoughts”OMG, this really looks interesting and dangerous, hehehe 😀 😀 :D”And, our weddings are very colorful too!”Here I have a criticism to make, not the India, of course, but to Brazil. Our weddings are also very colorful, but not naturally, traditionaly as I thinks it’s in India. It’s something imported from Europe what we have here, like a fashion show. I should not be complaining about women who strive to stay beautiful but this seems so superficial! In India, the cerimony seems much more interesting than here!

    @Rohini Thank you so much. Oh yes, wishes are always sweet, even belated!@Deepa Thank you!@David Yep, can be dangerous :). What I actually meant is that we know how the other would react in a certain situation due to being in tuned with each other. I really don’t know much about Brazilian weddings; I assume they are like the Christian weddings in the rest of the world? And, yes I do enjoy the depth and festivities and color behind our rituals.
