Happy 6th Anniversary!
It's our 6th anniversary from the day we first met in Karuizawa, Nagano prefecture, 6 years ago. There have been a few dates of note and worth on our calendar until now--the day we started dating, the day we moved in together, and the day we had our wedding ceremony--apart from the day we first met. Years have gone by, and it's unrealistic to celebrate all of the above occasions on top of birthdays, Christmases, New Years, and other special holidays. I've decided that we should just stick to one--October 16.
October 16th was when we first met, was when we first kissed, and was when we first slept with each other. A year after that on October 16th, we celebrated our first anniversary by purchasing our engagement rings. And a year after that, on October 16th, I proposed.
October 16th is a magical day. As far as I'm concerned, all the other dates can fade into oblivion. Officializing our courtship and having our wedding ceremony were practical events partly for personal commitments and declarations, but mainly for our friends, family, and the world to know and take note of.
October 16th was a complete twist of fate, and every year that rolls by something or another in our lives and relationship is likely to change. New elements will be added, new factors will be considered, and by default some old things will be discarded. Like a spell that can go either way--good or bad--every year until now it seems that the dynamics of our relationship and marriage have changed every time this date rolled around.
Happy Anniversary!! May the fire of our love burn brightly and constantly forever and ever.
