Happy first wedding anniversary of many more to come sayang!
Dear husband,
As we celebrate our 1st year anniversary as
husband and wife today, I am reminded that this is just the beginning
sweetheart, and what a beginning it has been! I’m eagerly looking forward to
spending the many more years to come, the years of God’s abundance of blessings
in our lives, the years of commitment we have with each other.
For the longest time, you've always asks why i never wrote anything about you... it's because of whatever is written below. This isn't a compilation of who you are, but it is a reminder of how our marriage has been in this first year, filled with love, grace, forgiveness and setting each other as priority (mostly me being the one receiving most priority).
11th April 20015
I cannot forget that look you had on your face that night.
The seriousness you had in you when you said you’ve got a big responsibility in
taking care of me brought me to reality. I obviously hadn’t come to terms with
the importance of the whole marriage thing until then.
18th April 2015
You threw all your clothes out from the luggage so that you
can take mine. And you restricted your own shopping to make space for me.
21st April 2015
You sacrificed your sleep, and didn’t even bother about jet
lag, just so you can get the needful things sorted for me.
4th June 2015
For some reason I had not expected as much from you as I did
from my mother. But when you responded to me exactly the way my mother would
do, I was taken aback. She’s been with me my whole life, providing for me and
making sure everything was ok for me. For you to do the same thing as my
mother, when you’ve only known me for a short time, I am truly blessed.
16th June 2015
Everything that you do, you think of me first. You think if
it is best for me and if it will make me happy, before you think if it is
convenient for you.
17th June 2015
What more can I ask for in a husband who encourages me so
much, believes in me and supports me in a vision that no one else would
understand. You, who dislike discussing things and listing out the pros and
cons, willing made time to discuss things with me tonight and started the topic
yourself without me asking.
18th June 2015
Is it even normal for a husband to give and not expect
anything from his wife? I’ve never seen anyone else ever so giving like you. My
heart is bursting with the amount of love you shower on me, both spiritually
and materialistically.
24th June 1983
This is the 5th year that you’ve celebrated my
birthday with me. As a friend for the first few years, last year as my fiancé,
and this year as my husband.
3rd July 2015
Which other husband would be proud to identify himself as
his wife’s husband rather than she is his wife. I can’t believe you are proud
to say that you are Chumi’s husband, rather than I am Laxman’s wife.
4th July 2015
How sweet of you to spend so much time with my mum, taking
her out for meals, taking her out for movie in the middle of the night, and
make sure she’s ok after the movie. But terminator wasn’t a good choice of
movie at all :/
5th July 2015
Everyone seems to be talking about how you’ve set Saturday
aside as Chumi’s day…. Ahahha…. You are my trend-setting husband, who puts his
wife first before anyone else.
7th July 2015
That moment when you said you were going to text my mother
to say that I was eating ice cream for breakfast, I said don’t! and you said,
she’s my mother also so I will tell her whatever I want to!
9th July 2015
I was sitting in a youth meeting, receiving your msg about
how you are saving to take me shopping when we go to Hat Yai. And then sending
me a video on whatsapp half an hour later…. Proudly saying this is how I am
going to shop. Yes! This is exactly how I am going to shop…. And I am going to
drag you into each and every one of those shops!
10th July 2015
You are one of a kind husband who sings along with me and
teaches me to sing it correctly… through Skype!
11th July 2015
I don’t know how you prefer this dark, tired looking face
with a popping pimple and messy hair that you are looking at on Skype now,
instead of a polished passport photo of me, where I am fair and looking all
dolled up and pretty.
15th July 2015
Chatting on my Malaysian number whatsap, UK number whatsapp,
Skype and FB messenger all at the same time…. You cant get enough of me can you
…. Ahahaha
30th July 2015
Our first ever time traveling together and I loved
every minute of it... U made that dirty train ride and long wait worth it
31th July 2015
My darling husband got worried that I was coughing non
stop and got dressed in the middle of the night to go down to the reception to
get hot water for me, instead of calling room service.
1st August
Are all husbands supposed to be this nice to their
wives or r u being extra nice ? You carried all the luggages and even carried
my new suit case so that the rollers doesn't spoil before I get to use it
properly .. And let me walk freely with you.
3rd August 2015
Our first ever road trip and I loved every bit of it
again. You make me feel loved and special all d time that you are willing to go
to extremes for me
6th August 2015
Would you always iron my clothes and do house work for
me even when im well and healthy, just like you've been doing this whole week
??
7th August 2015
My heart broke to see you sending me off at the
airport while u had another 12 hours wait for ur own flight. You so willingly
released me for ministry work overseas when u were so concerned about my
safety
9th August 2015
More than you being proud of me for going to your home
town, I was proud to have had that privilege of going to your home town and
seeing the place you grew up in
18th August 2015
If you go at this rate of being so concerned about me
and my safety even while we are thousands of miles apart, I don't know what you
would do when we are together. I would eventually get used to it and start
demanding more from you
20th August 2015
I was beaming so proudly when U told me that I'm your
own little world and that you'll never get tired of loving me.
23rd August 2015
Thank you baby for making time to go and see mum and
the others in church even when it was getting late for you to leave to
Bristol
24th August 2015
Sending me messages saying, “from the tip of my toe to the
top of my head, they will know that I love you so much” is a bit much …. But
you are starting to be expressive about how you feel! Halleluyah!
27th August 2015
Here I was, screaming at the top of my voice for something
that you did and didn’t do. You listened to me quietly and calmed me down.
30th August 2015
Suddenly I recalled being so angry and rude with you a few
days ago, and apologized, explaining myself. And you said you enjoy my
screaming! And then you say you are madly in love with me, so you don’t think
of all these things and you wipe it away, because I am always your darling.
31st August 2015
How is it that you keep encouraging me to shop! =D
11th Sept 2015
We've been married for 5 months today.
If feels as if it's only been 5 weeks now. Despite the distance, you always
made me feel as if u were with me all the time. Sacrificing every weekend to
sit online with me at home.
12th Sept 2015
The perks of praying with you, even over
Skype, hearing you thank god for the best wife who is above and beyond your
expectation, and taking God for the many talents your wife has.
13th Sept 2015
U spent the whole of today looking for a
suitable laptop to gift my mum for her MTh course. How much sweeter can you be
?
15th Sept 2015
How does you running out of work in
Bristol help when someone was on my roof in Malaysia ? But u still wanted to so
that you would talk to me and pretend as if a man was in d house too
17th Sept 2015
I don't get how u can be so generous,
that you want to buy a larger sized hard disk so that u can give it to me when
I'm there and take my old one for urself. You are staring to think like my mum
does. I like it !!
18th Sept 2015
You sacrificed shopping and changed ur
plans To come back home and talk to me. You are the best baby !
20th Sept 2015
I know you keep saying you treat my
mother like your own mother. But you treat her better than that. You spent all
weekend scrubbing and cleaning your house, bought new furniture and kitchen
ware for her, stocked up the fridge with what she likes, even bought sweeteners
for her. on top of all this, you drop out to wherever she was to pick her up so
that she’s not stranded.
23rd sept 2015
you sent me off with prayers even when
you are not here with me right now.
26th sept 2015
3 days of not talking to you and texting
you as much as i usually do because i was so busy with the leadership summit.
You understandingly released me although you were upset of having less of me,
kept on praying for me during those days and entertained my mother. i come back
after 3 days and make you upset, but you forgave and forgot without even making
a fuss. i love you baby! and i’m sorry … it won’t happen again.
27th Sept 2015
The first thing you ask me when u heard
that some guy was picking a fight with me, " who won ??". Which other
husband would do that
28th Sept 2015
I come back home upset after d first day
of work at a new place and u tell me I don't have to go to work at all, and
make sure I call up the principle to say that I won't be coming back again
29th Sept 2015
I was beaming with joy and pride when
you said , “I will not let anyone to look down on you.” and “I am very proud of
you”.
5th October 2015
I'm definitely not one to be identified
as delicate or even gentle. I'm far from that. But you want to call me Adina,
because u think I am one. Adina means delicate and gentle and Hebrew. Adi means
jewel. And you said the best part is that Adi is used for boys and girls. Only
u could ever think of me like this. "You are my Adi kutty".
11th Oct 2015
6 months today ! It feels like it's such
a big milestone already!! If u are eager to buy me three figure dresses from
monsoon just for the 6 months anniversary, I can't imagine What u would do for
every other anniversary After this
13th Oct 2015
What does your husband say when you ask
him you want to buy something? He sends me more money and asks me to buy even
more.
15th Oct 2015
Not many ppl understand the intensity
and impact that this approved visa has for us. We did it baby! It is over now!
No more Egyptians to face. The LORD has fought the battle for us!
21st Oct 2015
How cute of u to send me a joke about a
wife asking for newspaper, but husband gives a tab and the wire hits the
cockroach with it. The conclusion is obviously just listen to your wife... And
you agree with it
22nd Oct
For someone who's been pampered, never
did any house work, brought up With bed coffee and delicious home cooked food
at all odd hours, to tell me that u will do the house work and buy food when I
don't have the time to cook... I am blessed
24th October
Chatting on Whatsapp, skype, Viber and
fb all at the same time but about different things. You cant get enough of me
can you ?
28th October
Saying I'm so blessed with Chumi,
appreciating my messy handwriting, appreciating me for being thoughtful when i
didn't even think of a certain thing is earning you brownie points
29th October
How can u say I'm a considerate person
when I ask u if u ever get worried about my shopping craze ?! You sure know how
to make me happy !
30th October
Admitting that you came after me and
that I'm ur prized possession is enough to make me swoon .. And u add on to it
by saying, thank god u didn't let me slip away or else you'll be regretting it,
I'm so into you ...
2nd November
My darling husband, it's good enough
that u wake up at 4am ur time to talk to me, you also end up listening to me
study and study along with me to help me prepare for the test. And then you
want to treat me for coming out first in the test
3rd November
As much as I'm nervous about cooking
after almost a year, and cooking for u that too, u tell me not to worry about
it but to just send u a list of things that I need and that you'll fill the
fridge with whatever I want, and let me take a break from cooking

"If you r sick And have running

do for their babies. You don't have to keep running to the basin to blow ur
nose or use tissues and make the skin around ur nose become dry and
cracked" 😱😖 "it's so discussing! How can u do that. I wouldn't even
do that for our own baby!" "I love u so much it doesn't bother
me"

frag I out of d shop quickly like I always do'. Thank you for walking around
with me for 3 hours shopping and for letting it be all about me !
8th April
You know I don't eat so much.. Then y do
u always pack extra food for me? Y should have packed that for urself.
Wat if u r extra hungry and want more
food? I would rather pack more food for u and have u bring back d remaining
than to let u have not enough food.
