Funny thing is, it is this time of the year again.
Wedding anniversary, tomorrow. The fifth one.
Well, yeah. Time flies (hm, I can’t, they’re too quick).
I used to be famous for not wanting to get married: today I feel like saying “I wouldn’t change a single thing” – I would say it, but it is too sleazy and slimy.
Anyway, there is no one to listen to me: my hubby’s away and will remain so till Friday.
We will celebrate, yes. As soon as our new rings arrive.
What? You’ve never met anyone getting married when they were their thinnest? And showing their genetic weight 5 years on?
It doesn’t change a single thing.

Happy Anniversary! Reading entries such as this one fills my heart with tingly warm sensations
I’m thrilled for you both and wish you loads of fun with your celebration 
Party on…

Thank you, we will, eventually.
So you are no opponent of marriage, then?
September 11th, 2007 at 13:30
Good work! Carry on!
Also, please do carry out, carry through, carry in, carry forth, cary grant and even cash and carry
Congrats, anyway

Cash ‘n’ carry’s good, thank you, I’ll think about it.

Happy Fifth. Things are best in two’s, I strongly believe. Yes, while Mr. Pengovsky would probably state that three’s are better, I’m wondering if he ever stuck around for the hellacious arguments that ensued when the number was 3.
SO,
Five is great.
Two is best.

Happy anniversary. We’ve also got our fifth one coming up. And ‘m pretty sure that fingers can’t get that much thicker in such a short amount of time. This is all about getting some serious bling, isn’t it?

Congratulations in Finnish: Onneksi olkoon!
September 11th, 2007 at 18:07
Michael (THX): mine did. But then, I never really considered the possibility of having the old ring adjusted, that much I must admit
.
So, would you agree that 5 is not that much?
Kaneli: kiitos.
September 11th, 2007 at 18:08
Darko (THX): hm, 2 is a company, 3 is a crowd or so?

Alcessa, I’m no opponent of marriage. Did you think I was? What counts in my book is the partnership itself. Whether it is blessed by the state with a marriage certificate or not is irrelevant to me. A beloved soulmate to share one’s life with suffices without the paperwork and rings, I believe

Filomena: I wasn’t really asking because I thought anything about you, no.
Just feeling a bit … bashful (I hope this is the word)…

Well, the traditional gift for the fifth anniversary is wood, so wooden rings would be the right thing to get. Unless you’re anti-traditionalist anarchists.
September 12th, 2007 at 09:17
Didn’t know about wood: I may decide to become an anti-traditionalist anarchist (as soon as I have learnt to pronounce it) and stay so till I have the Real Ring

@DarkoV: Been there? Sort of… Stuck around? Hell, no!
I would note however, that all things heavenly come in threes, so isn’t it a wonder that people work best in twos? That said however, I totally agree with the good doctor filomena 
@Michael M.: So… Let me see if I get this straight… After five years of marriage you… errrr… get wood?
September 12th, 2007 at 10:23
Pengovsky: džizus, have you noticed how quotable you sometimes are? Is that OK for a man your age?
Now, wood is of course not a very good reason to get married. But once you do, you can negotiate other prizes for sticking out.
September 12th, 2007 at 11:21
Quotable? No, no… you give me too much credit.
The phrase about “threes and twos” is actually by Jani Kovačič in his song “Angelci, Angélci”.
I do, however, bow humbly to your Divinity of Double-Entendres
All hail Alcessa and Hubby!
September 12th, 2007 at 11:30
Jani Kovačič, is it. Actually, you have “charmed” me verbally before, like in the previous post, but of course one can never know how well people remember things they have read or heard…

[...] AH: So, do you want an engraving on your new ring? [...]
