10 years ago on this day I walked out of my parent's house holding hands with my sweetheart.
On 28 December 2006 I said I do to my husband, to be his lawfully wedded wife through thick and thin. We got civil married in Cyprus (by then we were already best friends for 7 years).
I knew him well enough to be certain he was the right man for me..
Guess what....We've been married for a DECADE now! Wow!

Today we celebrate ten beautiful years of marriage (and almost 17 years together....we met when I just turned 18 years and he was 20 years old...to most we were just kids going through a regular relationship). You can read all about How I met my Husband...
Today I am in disbelief that the time has passed so quickly, and yet here I am looking back and thinking how full these ten years have been.
Over these year, we've both GROWN, changed and matured...sometimes :)
Now that we have made it through our 1st decade together, I wonder if the next ten will fly by even faster?

- We have walked through so much together....Perhaps Downs were more than UPs!!
- We got to travel, explore, and enjoy 5 countries together.
- We changed and lived in 3 Houses together.
- We are blessed with 2 beautiful angels... even though they drives us super crazy on daily basis, yet we can't imagine our lives without them!

I know that marriage is not a fairytale, but we try every single day to reach our happily ever after ending. Creating our own fairytale?
Our marriage has gone through countless of ups and downs, and enough explosive big fights..big enough to almost terminate it all. But we loved hard and fought even harder, because we were afraid to lose each other. At times we were hurt and shocked by the other person who pops up during 1 of those ugly fights.... that stranger who seemed to have replaced each other. Other times we were afraid because our marriage felt like quicksand.
Now we have a mutual understanding, a promise in the form of a silent contract.... No matter how hard it seems, we don’t give up on each other.
We don't have the PERFECT marriage...and we are not the same Love birds we used to be!!

On a funny note here's a funny idea on gifts to share on your 10th Wedding Anniversary:
Traditional Gifts: Tin or Aluminum
Modern Gifts:Diamond Jewelry
As for us, our perception of gifts have changed. We figured out it is more fun to go on a family weekend getaway, we get to explore and enjoy one of the lovely areas in Lebanon, as well to spending a quality family times together and above all making and adding more and more lovely moments to our long list of cherished memories.
Stay tuned!
