The wedding anniversary was historically derived from Roman Empire tradition, where a husband crown his wife with a silver wreath on their twenty-fifth anniversary, and a gold wreath on their fiftieth anniversary. In the present, generally, it is called the silver wedding anniversary for 25th years of marriage and the golden wedding anniversary for 50th years of marriage. Many people dream of their wedding will be lasting, but many of them also fail.
For those of you who dream of it, then there is a philosophical message from a modest golden wedding anniversary, a piece of dialog between MC (Master of Ceremonies) and the bride, as follows:
MC: (jokingly) "What is the most annoying thing from your husband?"
Bride: "As many as the stars in the sky, unable to count them."
MC: (shocked) "Well, but your husband's kindness is also abundant, right?"
Bride: "A little, like the sun in the sky."
MC: (curious) "Then how could you live with him for half a century and still love each other?"
Bride: "Because once the sun rises, all the stars in the sky become invisible."
MC: "Amazing!" (and standing applause from invited guests)"
You made me longing for my lovely lady at home. How long have you been married, mate?
ReplyDelete14 years. Still on the long road, right? Please pray for me to reach it.
DeleteThank you for your comment.
Well.. why do you need my prayer? :D
DeleteFor me marriage is an endless journey, full of adventure. So it must be enjoyed.
Don't think too much about whether or not you will reach silver or gold or diamond anniversary. A number is just a number. It doesn't show anything.
We don't get married because we want to make a record. If we are happy, then it is already an achievement, a huge one.
"Why?" As a believer I think your prayer is important, don't you?
DeleteBtw, I like your last sentence above, mate.
I noticed that some of your posts are labeled "philosophy". Are you a philosofer?
ReplyDeleteHi Ross, are you joking? Seriously I'm just an ordinary man, having 2 child and a (the only) lovely wife LOL.

DeleteMy husband and I made it to 30 years together before he passed away.
ReplyDeleteThirty years together is such a beautiful testament to your love. I'm so sorry for your loss.

ReplyDeleteThat's good. Reducing the stars is also good.
