This is just plain embarrassing.
Anders and I forgot our wedding anniversary for the second year in a row. The first year, we had some friends who reminded us of the occasion before the actual day. If it hadn't been for the friendly reminder, we would've forgotten that one, too. The second year, we didn't remember until several weeks afterward when someone asked me when we got married. This year, my parents reminded us.
The only saving grace here is that both of us forget. Neither one of us can make puppy-dog eyes or act wounded and use the other's forgetfulness for bribery and bouquets.
Tonight, we'll go out for dinner and celebrate. These three years have absolutely flown by. Five years ago, towards the end of August, we met for the first time during an arranged outing to Sharm al-Shaykh. There was nothing in that casual introduction that belied the coming tale of drama, change, commitment and devotion. It is impossible for us not to think of Egypt when we celebrate our anniversary, but that is another blog for another time. ;)
