15 years
I vividly recall standing in my parent’s garage, approximately 15 years ago, screaming the following at Ali, via telephone:
“You CANNOT invite any more people to the wedding. We already have 410 guests. If you invite one more person, they’ll have to take your seat, because the seating chart is DONE.”
(If you are wondering, I was in the garage because our house was full of wedding guests and I couldn’t find another quiet space to scream at Ali.)
Fast forward to today, our 15th wedding anniversary.
We went out to lunch to celebrate. (My food was fantastic but Ali sent his steak back twice and then finally sent it back for good.)
We didn’t get each other any gifts. (No jewelry or light bulbs, for which I am grateful.)
I cooked dinner. (I figured we might as well have a bad meal at home instead of paying for one like we did at lunch.)
So the day was fairly uneventful. But the good news is that I didn’t scream at Ali today.
Although it’s only 7:12 pm so there’s still time to remedy that…



Happy Anniversary!!! )))) xx
Thank you!!
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you Heather!
Fifteen years! Damn girl. Although if Ali isn’t trained yet, there is no hope. Sorry.
I haven’t given up yet Andrea! But I admit it’s not looking promising…
I will be rooting for you nonetheless.
🙂
Happy 15 years of togetherness !! 🙂 Ammena, God bless. You both look good together and your blog are really interesting to read. Keep going, gal ! 🙂

Happy anniversary!!
Thank you Nandita!
Happy anniversary dear..Wishing you many more in future…
Thank you!
Congrats! 410 guests? My head is spinning just thinking about it. Ali only sent his food back 3 times ? 🙂
Ali isn’t usually so picky but when it comes to steak all bets are off…
happy anniversary, 410 guests I’d be screaming too? our 17th (I think it’s 17…yup 1998) is Sat.
Happy Anniversary in advance Lauren!
Happy Anniversary – may you have many more. Amen
Thank you FIP!
I wonder – who now screams at who in the garage?
We no longer have a garage, but I have no problem screaming at Ali from any room of our apartment…
Aww happy anniversary to you and your hubby, girl!! 🙂
Thank you Aparna!

Heh, i went to one of those weddings this past weekend. Didn’t know the bride or the groom but I brought a gift so does that count? And for what it’s worth, that anniversary sounds just perfect. Happy Anniversary friend!
You didn’t know the bride or the groom? Were they a friend of a friend of a friend? LOL
Happy Anniversary! Wow, 15 years… that’s amazing. Well done to you both, and here’s to many more!!
Thank you Habiba!
Happy Anniversary, Ameena!!! You guys are adorable. No yelling by 7:12 p.m. is an accomplishment in any house!
Thank you Heather!
Happy Anniversary!!! Ours four year was on June 11th! Fifteen years is a big milestone so congratulations to you both! 🙂 I can definitely relate to your anniversary lunch date. Last year, we went to Grand Lux… it wasn’t very “grand” at all. 😦 We plan on going for a special dinner tomorrow night and I have read the reviews and researched the menu before picking the place, so let’s cross our fingers… otherwise it’ll have to be takeout on the way home! haha.
I used to love Grand Lux! The bread alone filled me it, it was so delicious.
A Happy Anniversary to you as well Reshma!
Happy Anniversary! After 15 years, it really is all about the little things. Simple is good!
Ameena, I just discovered your blog. Your posts are so genuine and funny. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to reading new posts “regularly”. Happy anniversary!!
Thank you for the kind comment Jehanara! Reading this just made my EARLY morning so much better. 🙂
I hope you had a lovely anniversary with no shouting involved at all in the end 😉
Thank you DK! I appreciate all the nice comments. 🙂
