Today, is our 10th anniversary. Yes, not only did we make it through another year, we’ve managed to tolerate each other for a whole decade.
When we were married for one year, I went to the jewelry store where I had purchased our engagement ring looking for something special to give her. As I perused their wares, I came across this beautiful ring that had some intricate gold work and 11 tiny diamonds strong across the front in a row. When I pointed to it, the sales clerk said “what a wonderful choice, how long have you been married?” When I told her it was a year, she said that this ring is typically a 10th anniversary gift. I said, “What if it feels like 10 years?”
I bought the ring and gave it to her then. She loved it and continues to wear it. I love to tell that story and I’m not so sure she loves to hear it. But, I can honestly say, that after 10 years has past, it doesn’t feel like 10 years. It feels like it’s only been a year. We are more like newly weds today than we were back then.
Happy anniversary, my love. Don’t expect your 10th anniversary ring today. I gave it to you nine years ago.

The 10th anniversary is the tin or aluminum anniversary.
I think I’ll pick up a couple of dozen cans of beer. Will that cover it?
