Celebrating 16 Years Together: Our Tradition
This weekend, we are in for a big celebration. Not because of the beautiful weather, the closure of almost all village shops, or a particular sense of patriotism.
This weekend, we are in for a big celebration. Not while the sun is shining brightly, pushing temperatures close to 30 degrees, because we aren’t fans of such heat. Nor are we enticed by the idea of being among the few who haven’t traveled to exotic destinations like Bali, Cape Town, or the beautiful city of Semmerzake. Although we have a touch of patriotism, Belgium’s National Day on July 21st isn’t a reason for us to throw a party. Celebrating is not really in our nature; my partner perhaps even less so than me. She insists on celebrating the most important holidays of the year, while I prefer to stick to my daily routine.
However, this weekend, we are making an exception. On July 20th, my wife Rose, as autistic as I am, and me celebrate 16 years together. You might wonder how we plan to mark this occasion. A romantic week in Paris? A boat trip on the Seine, a visit to the Musée d’Orsay or the Louvre, or a dinner in an exclusive restaurant? Perhaps a gift experience of beauty and intimacy, a creative workshop, or just a trip to the city of Antwerp?
