How Did You Celebrate Your 1st Marriage Anniversary? (5492 Views)

It was 365 days yesterday since that day I took a stroll down the aisle, stood beside this angel and took my vows, and I daresay that the days have just been beautiful. As against all the old wives' tales that marriage is not a rosy street, mine has been better than rosy and I trace it all to marrying the right person. And indeed, when a woman is this good, nothing you do to appreciate her can ever be too much.

So how did we celebrate it?

She woke up to find on her make-up table a lovely card, some sweet-smelling perfume, chocolates and a cheque for XXXXX amount (that made her go WOW!!!!). Went to church for a lovely time of fellowship and in the evening went to the Cinemas and a late dinner somewhere. Then retired home for one more movie and a night of seasoned *********

By and large, it was a lovely day and could have been better of course; but thats how it went.

Woke up late, played Pro Evolution soccer all day(had food stocked up all over the crib), and when we were tired, entered the palace of dreams and the rest they say was, wink

Clearly some1 has been watching too much nollywood and hollywood! no creativity or ingenuity at all. The same old trial and tested method! Also placed monetary value on the event, by giving a cheque of unknown amount which made her go bonkers!  A romantic getaway to some paradise island gives you time to reconnect and rekindle your love. There you will be pampered and all your needs taking care off, all you have to worry about is  the birds and the bees!  wink But i guess  its the thoughts that matters!

if you can't travel abroad because of restrictions you can go to some african national tourist areas. which we need to promote

If u take time to look away from your miserable existence you will find that there are people who are actually living the life.

We both forgot and someone called me to congratulate me, then I pretended like I ed and made him feel guilty for a bit. We made it up to each other, him to me for forgetting and I to him for the guilt trip grin

I dont know whats 'Nollywoody' about this, but I do know what every great man knows - that women should be appreciated and pampered, more so when she is a great wife. Its a tried and tested method that always brings out the best in them and if throwing some cash into the pot will gladden her even more, then do it!

Not necessarily, if she love him, she'll understand when he doesn't outdo himself.

whaooo! Nice topic

Mine was something else !

My 1st year wedding anniversary was on a sunday and i had planned various activities for the day.
On saturday, i went shopping for my wife and i already booked a hotel for our exclusive "igbaladun" after much arrangement hoping to have a day of my life on sunday. also, i already tucked every gifts i got in the trunk of my car. i didnt want to bring them in. i wanted her to see them first thing in the morning.

Sunday morning, i asked my nephew to go get me the "stuff" from the car behold, (1) my corolla toyota was gone!!!! (2) The car was my official car (3) my wife cried her eyes out!

i was so sad and the only fun i had was the stewpid questions policemen were asking me about the car!!!! [b]" who be your suspect", " u lock the car at all" , " how u take get the car", abi u borrow somebody"[/b],

when i think about it now, i just laugh! even though our first year anniversary was a monumental flop, we ALWAYS have a SPECIAL way to bring spices into our friendship especially with the fact that, we are always stagging a get-a-way exclusively for ourselves without any forms of disturbances from our kids.

It was a non-event; I got a kiss and "happy anniversary". The first year was a steep learning curve, not only for my spouse but for me.

In any case I'd prefer gifts and surprises on my birthday, anniversaries are not a big deal to me.

If you see a man opening the door of his car for his woman, it either the woman is new or the car. Let's wait for the 10th year annivasery.
