Celebration to me is relative. For most, it probably means party or a feast where people are invited, food are eaten, music are played, decorations are put up and what else. For others, it can be the little things.
The husband and I are turning 13 this month. For some, the number seems to mean "unlucky" or "unfortunate." That I discovered two decades ago which kind of surprised me then. While checking in to a Nikko Hotel abroad, I noticed that it didn't have a 13th floor on the elevator panel nor a number 13 in their suites and rooms. Most hotels skip it all together due to certain beliefs and superstitions that we humans have. Nothing wrong with it of course!
For us though, it means we are doing good great when a lot of marriages had fallen apart. Ours is not perfect, (nobody has), but thankfully we are getting through the tides quite alright after that single bad storm had passed.
So 13th, huh?
Yep.
Do we commemorate our wedding anniversary?
Year on year. Just as we celebrate life and every little milestone, we also honor the date of our wedding, quietly and simply. By that I mean, just the two of us - no parties, no guests, nothing fancy, no candle lights, zero extravagance. Just a lazy day over home-cooked food or a casual meal outside. No one would ever know we are celebrating because we do not do things loud. Although during the first 5 years, we loved to go out somewhere and splurge a little bit. Growing older may have something to do with the changes, lol!
The Farmboy didn't tell sooner that he had planned something different this time and it had to be canceled due to certain commitments plus it's Easter week which means various happenings in the lowlands so it just makes sense to put it off.
Speaking of, Easter Sunday is coming and it would probably be just mass and a lunch out. Gone were those days when we as a clan would spend the whole of Easter day having fun, hunting hard-boiled eggs hidden under sands or gravels, plants and bushes. And those who find the blue ones would win special treats from the tables. That was when we were young anyway.
Aah, that nostalgia...
Makes me smile and wonder at the same time what had happened. Well, things change and Easter celebration as a family is just one of them. But we'll see, there might be surprises coming and our arms are wide open for them.😅
Cheers to a happy new day!

Congratulations to you and “The husband”🥳🥳🥳🥳
PS: what a funny way to cover your faces 🙂
Haha, thank you darling❤️
PS: I feel weird posting our faces so until then, the cover stays, lol!
You're welcome and I totally get it😃
Congrats on your 13th year! Celebrating quietly is nice; my husband and I tend to do the same. I generally don't hear of folks with super big celebrations unless it's a milestone like the 50th or the 75th. Even then, I'm not sure I'd go for the big party scene.
Be blessed in your life together and enjoy your quiet celebration together.🤗💜 !LADY

Wow! Happy 13th anniversary.. stay strong and keep the love burning.
About elevator that skipping the number 13 and room without it, just knew it now. I am amazed that there are really that kind of superstition.
Thank you, Jen :) I appreciate it.
Yes, there are those. Mostly hotels and even high-rise buildings.
Superstition really plays a big role to some.
Happy 13th wedding anniversary to both of you sis. Someone told me na kapag nakalagpas ka na ng 9 or 10 years na pagsasama together eh forever na daw kayo together, dunno if it is true but who cares, hehehe.
Cheers!
Oh hello, sis! How's you?
Thank you :) And I wonder if it's true but just like you said, who cares hehe. Cheers, sis!
tama, as long as happy kayo and contented eh for sure forever yan..
Happy 13th Anniversary farm girl 🥰 i was thinking you're married since 2 or 3 year's but you told us in this post. I wish you and your husband celebrate 100 anniversary together with love 💕
Thank you so much Lesly. Walked down the aisle when I was on my 30s so yep, been a long time😅 and 100 years together, that would be cool if both of us are still healthy and sound by then😁
I imagine just one thing now that you're elder than me 😉 and yes you'll be shine and healthy with him till last
Have a good day farm girl 🥰
Happy Anniversary! Wow, 13 years is pretty long and you have gone that far, still staying strong. I guess it's not an "unlucky" number, but a great one. I never believed in stuff like that haha. Enjoy your day, Ate!
Salamuch Ayane :) And true, 13 isn't unlucky at all.
Cheers to you today and always 🤩
Happy Anniversary! May you have many more wonderful years ahead of you together filled with lots of love and joy.
Cheers to that, Joe and many thanks ☺
At first, Happy Anniversary although I don't know the exact date of anniversary.
Unlucky 13!!!!!???? I have heard about it many times but I don't believe in it. How a number can be unlucky??
Many thanks for your wishes and it will be soon ☺
Some people believe 13 is an unlucky number due to some histories related to it.
If we search the history of each day we will get many bad things related to the day. It just depends on how we see about it.
Lovely most couples dont even remember their anniversary. And i like the fact you celebrate it between yourselves, will bring much connection that way
Thank you. I think we all can remember just that some choose to keep them aside☺
Hmmmmm not all
Sometimes 13 is a lucky number as many unions don't last even 5 years.
Congratulations on reaching 13 years @ifarmgirl
❤️
I believe so too :) Thank you lots sis. Have a wonderful day❤
So wonderful that you could share this with us my dearest friend, congrats on your 13th anniversary. I do understand that importance of keeping it quiet and just basking in the love and comfort you guys share instead of all the pump. I wish you and your husband all the best my dear @ifarmgirl. Much love from here.💕🌺
It was an impulsive decision to share, lol! Thank you lots, Jhymi and cheers to you today and always😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
Witwiw! Happy 13th Anniversary Ate ❤️I wonder ilang taon kayo ni Kuya nung nagpakasal kayo last 2010 😁
Witwiw indeed Kelzy😁 We were "three oh" + then😁
Yiehhhh, tagal na ❤️. You will celebrate pa your 50th or even 100th together ❤️.
Cheers to that, Ruffa. I did wonder if anyone ever celebrated a 100th. A good thought though☺ Thank you lots, LUV
Hehehe kaya yan, └( ＾ω＾)」
Being with someone for thirteen years is not easy but you both have decided to stay together no matter what happens.
I wish you more years together and forever.
I appreciate your kind words and your good wishes, thank you lots❤
