"Happily every after"

As first anniversary of my first and only marriage is approaching- I can feel the same level of excitement engulfing as my birthday. This was a year which moved too fast- it just appears as if a few moments before I was cursing myself for agreeing to marry him because of the hooplah called Indian wedding ceremonies and relatives. I wouldn't be lying if I'd say that I even contemplated running away a night before my wedding but then I just couldn't do that to him. Offcourse now I laugh about it and know that what stopped me from running away was budding love.

I saw my husband for almost 9 months 10 days before tying the knot but while we spent a lot of time together, talking with each other, watching movies, eating(yes both of us love eating)...I know for a fact that what I felt then for him was a strong case of affection and liking but what I feel know for him after spending an year together is undoubtedly love. Love which has grown and is growing every passing moment because I married an absolutely awesome human being. As in we both have our flaws- my list of flaws is worthy of an 500 page saga and his few flaws are exactly what I didn't want but still I know shallow as I am...his qualities and his sensitivity and my respect for him as an individual outshines everything else.

We are perhaps one of those unlikely couple who I know nobody would have put together...as a matter when we met for the first time none of us expected much from our meeting. We had been introduced to each other by close friends who were frustrated and jealous of our single status and thought if nothing has worked till date then lets see if most improbable happens. My first impression before talking to him was "kitna khadoos(read arrogaant) sa dikhne wala insaan hai " but then I changed my mind because
- he was extremely happy(big smile on his face told me so) to see me that he chose to ignore wild hair(read uncombed) and  dull clothing
- he was extremely polite and showed etiquettes which I had assumed had become extinct along with dodo's.
- plus during our first conversation hung to every word I said as if I am about to disclose the secret of unending youth
offcourse I couldn't let him go after this...

In our third meeting much to my surprise he asked me if I would marry him;-o though I took my time to answer this question but 9 months later I was purchasing my engagement ring with him.

Though there are innumerable reasons why I love him but just to state a few(to  keep as a reminder when I am annoyed with him)
- the fact that he lets me be me...
- the fact that he loves my beaver teeth...
- the fact that he does all the silly things to make me laugh
- the fact that he is extremely secure of me and doesn't curb my independence
- the fact that he lets me bully him sometimes(especially when it comes to a common device and browsing)
- the fact that he cooks my favorite food before he is about to go for a longer travel...so that I eat properly while he is away(btw this doesn't mean he cooks all the time...)
- the fact he is so adorable most of time(except when he is angry) and thinks he is "moris matyn"
- the fact that he keeps on giving me awesome compliments on the sly(thats his ishtyle)
- the fact that he is ready to fulfill all of my whims and cravings the moment I express them
 somya(at 6am): curly fries khana hai
husband: chalo

somya(at 10pm): I want a donut...as a matter of fact I want boston creme
husband: chalo

somya: I want Wii
husband: okay le lete hai

somya: would you buy me google glass when it is released next year
husband: okay

believe me its my innate kindness(and second thoughts with bit of laziness) which stops me before he  gets me what I want...

I can think of many many more reasons why I would like to spend every birth with him(yeh he is still balking from committing to this) but the best reason is he is my happily ever after and after and after
