Cheers to Six Years!


Today Buddy B. and I are celebrating our six year dating anniversary and our first week married anniversary. Now you might be thinking, "Well that was stupid, why didn't you get married on the same day as your dating anniversary?" And the truth is we did think about it, and almost did. Then we thought that we'd rather celebrate two distinct dates. And we did put a lot of thought into our wedding date, we deliberately put it a week before, so that way when our dates shift to the middle of the week, we will always have a weekend in between that we can celebrate on.  And do you really need a reason to celebrate your love for a whole week? Yeah didn't thinks so.

So Buddy B. and I dated for 6 years, it's amazing to think how much has changed. It's interesting to think about how our relationship has progressed:

Year 1: Being completely infatuated with one another. Wanting to spend every moment with one another. Feeling like Buddy B was the best thing since Mac & Cheese.

Year 2 & 3: Really getting to know each other, things you absolutely love, and things that just drive you nuts.

Year 4 & 5: The comfortable stage, I'm ok with you seeing me without make up  in my sweat pants, I don't even care if you're not wearing deodorant or didn't brush your teeth.

Engagement/Wedding Planning (year 5) :where you literally see each other at your best and at your worst. I think wedding planning is ultimate test for couples, the most extreme team building exercise.  Marriage can't be harder than that right? ;-) 

And now the newly wed stage, and the return of the best of all the years we spent together. We are completely in love like in year 1, but we know each other inside and out from the following years. I'm so happy to reflect on where we've been, enjoy the ride, and look forward to what lies ahead.

So here is to 6 years of Buddy B and I being together, celebrating our first week of marriage, and hoping for many more years to come!

Cheers Everyone!

Buddy A.
