Family

young people buying new watch

October 5th is my wedding anniversary. It’s important to celebrate it with your partner.

For this time, I would have a romantic start in the morning. First, I will begin the day with a cozy breakfast: perhaps homemade pancakes and milk. I will pair it with fresh coffee. In the afternoon we will have a couple of relaxing activities. We could take a scenic walk through the breath-taking Victoria Park. Alternatively, we will visit St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market, picking up local food. In the evening, we could have a luxurious dinner in Langdon Hall. It is a short drive to Cambridge, and worth it for a Michelin-star-worthy tasting menu.

The anniversary gift is a light-power Citizen watch, a symbol of eternity. My wife loves watches.

If your partner forgets the anniversary, I would say your initial reaction can be disappointed. Just stay calm and give them a chance to remember. You can give him a gentle reminder, for example, “it seems what was happened in last year today.” If she or he is panic, let him or her make it up to you. Maybe they plan a surprise belated celebration.
