2 years of marriage

On this day 2 years ago, my husband and I were worrying about his speech before going out to the dinner reception at Fort Canning Park. I was crying because my precious cupcakes which were meant to be our wedding cake was 'stolen' by some guests and ended up prematurely distributed to our VIPs.

I remembered how I cried so badly because things did not turn out the way they were supposed to. We weren't able to cut and eat our wedding cupcake on stage. Our caterer messed up on the number of servers and our guests ended up taking their own wine and drinks from a counter instead of being served.

These are things I still remember... along with my awful and humiliating rendition of 'You Make Me Feel Brand New' to my husband that very night as a surprise.

Now as I recall our journey together from that day forth, we've been through a lot. Well, not a LOT per say. But we've been through some moments were we fight, get angry, lazy, unhappy, etc.

Marriage is no piece of cake. Sometimes you see each other so often, you take things for granted and that thing called romance that once was there is no more. It's sad but true. Yet at times I still remind Chris to add romance into our picture. Especially on birthdays and anniversaries. We need to. Or there won't be anything romantic left.

Things really are different when you live together. No more home cooked meals (on a daily basis and cooked by someone else of course). Housework aplenty. Chores massive. And now a little baby pug to take care of.

But with these responsibilities come things that you appreciate and love. Like freedom. Independence. Your own home to do whatever you please (aside from getting nagged/black face for not doing your housework). We've had our fair share of arguments and lengthy talks. I guess this is all part of our growing old together.

Today is our 2 years anniversary. We're celebrating it in the meantime. And enjoying the day together.
