What a milestone! One that should be represented by something much more significant than tin, don't you think?
Mr Jones and I got married relatively young in today's society. I was 24 and he was 25. We have been together since we were 18 - high school sweethearts.
I cannot believe a decade has passed.
Over a big slab of Brie cheese and a fancy bottle of wine, we reminisced about our marriage and the big/favourite moments. I asked my gorgeously analytical and detail focused husband to list his top 5. This is the conversation that followed:
Me: "So babe, what would be your top 5 moments from the last 10 years as husband and wife?".
Mr Jones: "What do you mean by top 5?"
Me: "Well...our most memorable times together"
Mr Jones: "Do you mean like places we have visited or things we have done or achieved?"
Me: "All of the above"
Mr Jones: "Well, it kind of depends. For example, I could say watching you walk down the aisle or just our whole wedding or our day at the Grand Cru wineries of France or just our whole London experience?"
Me: "Should I go first...?"
Mr Jones: "Ok, good idea".
I love that I know all his idiosyncrasies and he knows mine.
I love being married to my best friend.
I love having someone who knows me better than I even know myself.
I love working together towards shared dreams and goals.
I love that we complement each other completely.
I couldn't imagine my life without him and through the great times and challenging times we have always been on the same team. I hope we continue to love and support one another for the rest of our lives.
Ok better stop before I get too soppy/make myself cry!
Just for the record, my top 5 were:
- The birth of Master 4
- The birth of Master 1
- Our London experience
- Our first house
- Buying and selling our business
