Letter to my husband....
29 April 2009
We have passed the 10th year mark of being legally married and it is about 3 weeks to our 10th wedding anniversary. It has been a long long time since I bought you a gift. I want to commemorate this milestone with something special. I have since decided on a pair of watches. A little corny maybe but I have my reasons.
Watch represents time, the past 10 years was without its challenges but I would not have walked a different path….In deciding which watch, I did not choose the latest design, nor “sporty” ones that you have been talking about, neither did I consider your minimum standard for a watch (you know what that is). Instead I settled for something simple, timeless and classic. I chose Month Blanc because it is quality that with some hard work I can afford, it will be painful to keep up with one I cannot, the like of a relationship.
Simple, timeless and classic to hopefully mirror what we have in our marriage, the past 10 years, now and always. I have yet to purchase the watches. I wanted to tell you first. Transparency, setting expectations are important in a marriage. Respect because I will be paying with our money :-) and respect is what marriages should be build on. I needed to ensure a good purchase (a feel good thing), so I made an offer which they countered for what deemed final. It should be “worthy” to symbolize what we have. I left it to fate to return if it is meant to be….that is how two people stay together, because it is meant to be.
Above everything else the gift simply represent my love.
