We are grateful to the Almighty for yet another year in our marriage. It is not easy to stay another 365 years in addition. We made it. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 to us, Mr and Mrs Nwankwere Enyinnaya!

It began 18 years ago when I went exchanged our marital vows not to put the marriage apart both in difficulty and in health. To the glory of the Almighty, we are doing our best to remain together in love, pushing through all struggles and trials.

It is my custom to try as much as possible to celebrate our wedding anniversary no matter how little and so even in this new city and environment, we still did it. Yes, we have our Christian brothers and sisters who showed up. We also have our biological relatives who were there for us. In preparation, I made sure of the following:

  1. I sent some pictures to @bossj23 to help me make them into my anniversary video which I have attached below

  1. I made an anniversary design which I have uploaded above as the first picture. I also downloaded some 18th wedding anniversary cakes which I shared on my status both km Facebook and on WhatsApp.

  2. Then I arranged to make zobo drink. I actually prepared this drink a day before anniversary so that it can chill. I used zobo leaves, cinnamon sticks, beetroot, ginger, garlic, cloves and sweetener to make the drink and everyone loved the taste.

  1. Then I began preparing the cake. I bought all the ingredients and they include
  • All purpose flour, 5 cups
  • Butter
  • Banana
  • Milk
  • Baking powder
  • Eggs
  • Sugar
  • And so on

I mixed the ingredients and baked and the result is what you see below 👇

Next, I also prepared tomato stew and white rice which was shared. By 4pm, all invited were there present and we began that mini party. We were asked to narrate how we began our marriage. I narrated the story from beginning to the end. Our love story was very interesting but that will be a story for another day.

Then my husband completed his part. Then we were also asked to cut the cake and feed each other. It all happened. In the end the cake was shares along with the drinks and food amd we danced too. .

It was a day to always remember. Meanwhile, I was able to get to know what 18th wedding anniversary signifies and here is what I deduced.

'I learned that 18th wedding anniversary them is Porcelain and it symbolises beauty, care and the delicate care needed for a lasting marriage'

Well, struggles continues so long as marriage is concerned. We will keep pushing through amd stay through to our marriage vows. We also pray for the Almighty to continue to strengthen us and bless us till death do us part.
