Half a decade.

anni

Five years ago today, we were married by candle light.

I am pretty sure the five year anniversary gift is sex in a foreign country and a go-kart.

But, Andy says no, and we will spend our evening in our favorite Indian restaurant .

Eating masala while I make him tell me about the day he realized he loved me.

Over and over again.

Share and Enjoy:

I can’t stand curry.

34 Christopher (AKA: CaJoh) December 18, 2009 at 5:18 pm: Happy anniversary!!!

My wife and I always joke about what the proper gift is for the various anniversaries, then it all goes down hill from there. I like the go-cart, but our fifth has already passed.

37 Michael @badassdadblog December 18, 2009 at 11:00 pm: Many, many, many sincere congratulations. I like your celebration/gift idea better than his, but his doesn’t sound so bad, really. We hit the seven-year mark last June. That, of course, doesn’t count the seven years we lived together before that. Proving, once again, that we are old.

Congratulations.

I think the 5 year anniversary gift is tube steak, no?

[Reply]
39 Kelley @ Magnetoboldtoo December 19, 2009 at 5:23 am: A go kart!

Awesome.

So what is 10 years then? I need to give my husband the heads up (oh *snigger*!) for 2 weeks time.

(and happy anniversary)

[Reply]
44 Jen December 20, 2009 at 7:44 pm: Happy Anniversary!!! I think the 5 year gift is a bottle of Pepto to be taken after eating the Indian food but prior to the Go-Kart sex. Have fun!

[Reply]
45 Ouiser December 20, 2009 at 8:39 pm: Ha! I harass my husband to tell me about when he “knew I was the one” ALL the time. It’s not just for your anniversary. Usually when I’ve been drinking and he just rolls his eyes and placates me.

Congrats to you and your husband! I just celebrated my fifth last April and I believe jewlery should be the gift of choice for every anniversary!

49 The Retired One December 22, 2009 at 11:22 am: I am behind in reading blogs because we went on a 15 day trip….so happy BELATED anniversary.
