I am still around in case you were wondering about my whereabouts.
So we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary last week.Considering how everyone has been gushing about it,I am safely assuming that it is an achievement of some sort.And I, of course, take full credit.We went out to dinner to this restaurant atop a revolving tower located in Dallas downtown.The view was spectacular for one got to see the whole of Dallas in about an hour as thats how long one entire revolution took.The food of course sucked and the service was ok.Apart from enjoying the view and each other's company, M and I spent considerable amount of time trying to figure out how the waiters managed to remember who sat where and when.It can get very confusing thanks to the constant motion and the dim lighting does not help much either.Fun it was!
For our first wedding anniversary we went on this really fun hiking trip.We got lot of phone calls from lot of people,wishing us on the occasion.And invariably everyone wanted to know what we were doing.(Not who silly,what.....what).And the moment we told them about our plans,they gasped in horror.Holy cow, a hiking trip?!What the hell is that?Since when did that qualify as romantic?Or a celebration? Who does that for a first anniversary?Who does that for any anniversary?How lame can one be?
So this year when we revealed our grand plans,everyone was very satisfied that we finally had become normal people.A candle light dinner in a fancy restaurant!Oh yes,that is how it is done.Look up any website and they will endorse it. Convention does count for something,no.

Talking about conventional celebrations, I still have a couple of friends who cannot get over the fact that we went to Egypt of all places for our honeymoon. Mummies? So not romantic!
Congratulations!
Although whacky-insane-different things to do are so much a cooler way to spend special days! :)
I wanna go on a part adventure trip/part honeymoon when i get maried lol :)
congrats!!!!
BigGeek and I went on a hike too.. I think is was on our second anniversary! But give me a candle light dinner anyday!
I came across two of your comments today - one on DotMom's blog and one on BikerDude's blog. You're from Bangalore! Dropped by to say hi, now will also wish you congratulations! Have a great year!
@Bikerdude : Thaumba thanksu,baass!
@Divya : Wow!Egypt sounds really cool!What all did you see?Is there a post about it on your blog?
@Serendipity : It is so much fun to do adventurous stuff! As much as I enjoy a candle-light dinner,I dig a hike in the woods any day!
@Dotmom : Thank you!BigGeek is a true romantic I tell you!
@Sujata : Hello hello!!A comment from a fellow Banglorean always feels so good :-) Thanks for stopping by :-)
You went hiking? What a good idea. My one year anniversary is coming up and I have no clue what to do! I'd better start thinking...
@Planethalder : Yup,the hiking trip was a lot of fun! And wasn't all that expensive either as we were in no position to indulge back then :-)
So have you considered Egypt?!!
congratulations! as for candle-lit dinners, it IS very romantic but:)
@just passing by : Thanks!I agree,it is quite romantic and I enjoyed the evening.Just that it has become more of a convention rather than an option which is what I don't quite like.
Congratulations!!! Yes Candle light dinner is the norm and hiking trips or wildlife safari is crazy :(
