3rd ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

-----

We hadn't many similarities neither did we know each other that well then. Ireland saw us noticing each other's existence from afar although we never really chatted a single thing. For 5 years we were miles and hours apart, you were the city boy living in the east next to the Irish sea in a place called Dublin while I was fated in the western countryside next to the Atlantic Ocean in county Galway. Nevertheless we did have a sole thing in common at that time- our belief.

-----

With minimal communication and with the help of some friends the whole process was kept professional, least elaborate and as speedy as possible. We officially tied the knot 3 years ago today, profoundly yearning to contribute for a better future for ummah while at the same time praying hard to be blessed with sakinah, mawaddah wa rahmah in our marriage.

-----

We subsequently got to know each other and became best friends. Till now we learn to accept each other's imperfections and we strive to fill our shared life with love, happiness and all it takes to build a successful marriage. In 3 years we are still toddling but we are getting there insyaAllah, and our ultimate aim would definitely be the syurga firdaus. We have laughed, shed tears and sulked at each other but those are the spices that add fabulous flavours to our wedded life.

-----

Alhamdulillah we have been bestowed by Allah a beautiful daughter of our own (and another gem coming up insyaAllah) which makes us feel ever thankful to Him, but let's together not forget that they also serve as a huge responsibility being perched on our shoulders. 

-----

Thanks for putting up with me through thick and thin, for always being there for me when I'm at my highest or lowest, for wiping my tears when I'm at my weakest, for patting my back for what good job that I have done, for sharing your laughter with me through these years, for being the first to apologise in every ruckus. No words can describe how much I appreciate them. I am ever grateful to Allah for having you as my spouse, and knowing you now I wouldn't wish for any other man than you as my other half. You are my better half.

-----

I look forward to wonderful years ahead while holding hands with you and although I could be nasty sometimes (if not most of the time) trust me you've got a special place in my heart at all times, hubsie dear.
