Well today is my 7th aniversary with my boyfriend.
We met in a nightclub and are still together! The moral being you can find succulent meat in a "meat market", as long as you, maybe, have no morals!
So when I woke up this morning, sun streaming through the windows, daughter padding about quietly (children can never be quiet - or maybe our ears just go to high alert when kids are in the house) downstairs, I began scratching at myself madly until my boyfriend woke up. He did wake up and looked puzzled and asked what was the matter.
So I grinned up and said "darling - I've got seven year itch!" now he looked even more confused! So I gave him a big sloppy kiss and said "Happy Anniversary!" he was in fits of giggles once he got it!
What i have found though is that since I've gotten more involved in christmas and birthdays, which i wouldnt really celebrate in the early years of our relationship, for obvious reasons that now anniversaries are not such a big deal - not as they were when I was in the borg.
Did anyone else grow up with a family that made a huge thing over anniversaries (ours were like christmas - we had a special meal and all exchanged presents!)/
And for those romanctic couples - how do you celebrate anniversaries now? Do you celebrate more as you are togeher longer or less? And as the incorporation of world festivals diminshed the importance of anniversaries?
And if you just want to say happy anniversary - well who am I to object and not grin a lot!
