Twenty years later
My name is Lin Ya and I am 47 years old this year. My husband Zhang Wei and I met on a college campus, and that youthful love time seems to be still in front of us. After graduation, we chose to stay in the same city to work hard, support each other, and face the ups and downs of life together. Now, we have been married for 20 years, and our daughter has just finished an important exam in her life - the college entrance examination.
Our home is a typical cosy nest. On the wall, there are wedding photos of me and Zhang Wei, as well as photos of my daughter growing up from childhood to adulthood, each of which records the happy times of our family. Zhang Wei and I have always had a good relationship, and although there are occasional quarrels, they can be resolved quickly every time, because we know how to tolerate and understand each other.
Our daughter is our pride, she is smart and hardworking. On the eve of the college entrance examination, our whole family cheered for her, hoping that she could get a good score. Finally, after a long wait, my daughter received an acceptance letter from the university of her choice, and our whole family was happy and proud of her.
However, the day after my daughter's college entrance examination ended, I made a decision that surprised everyone - I dragged Zhang Wei into the Civil Affairs Bureau. This decision was not a spur of the moment, but the result of careful consideration.
Actually, this thought has been buried in my heart for a long time. As my daughter grew older, I began to think about the relationship between us as a couple. Twenty years of married life have made us love each other deeply, but it has also made us a little numb and habitual. Our lives seem to be stuck in a fixed pattern, repeating the same things every day. I began to worry that if this continued, would the love between us gradually wear out?
So, I started trying to find a way to change. I tried to communicate with Zhang Wei and express my thoughts and feelings. Together, we reminisce about the good old days and plan our lives for the future together. However, over time, I've found that these methods don't really change our current situation. I began to realize that we needed a bigger change to rekindle the love between us.
Just when I was confused and lost, a chance chance gave me hope. One day, I saw on TV the news of an elderly couple having a re-wedding on their wedding anniversary. I was deeply touched by the way they held hands and snuggled up to each other. It dawned on me that we could also have a new wedding to celebrate our love, just like them.
I told Zhang Wei about the idea. He was stunned for a moment, then hugged me with a smile and said, "How did you come up with this, dear?" But I think it's a good idea! So we set out to prepare for this special wedding.
We chose the Civil Affairs Bureau where we got married as the venue for the wedding, which means that our love started there and will continue forever. We re-took the wedding photos and invited friends and family to witness this special occasion.
On the wedding day, the sun was shining and flowers surrounded us, and we walked into the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. I was wearing a white wedding dress, holding flowers in my hand, and a happy smile on my face. Zhang Wei was wearing a straight suit, holding my hand tightly in his hand, and his eyes were full of love.
In the presence of family and friends, we re-read our wedding vows. At that moment, I felt as if I had returned to that young girlhood twenty years ago, and I felt the sweetness and happiness of love again. Zhang Wei was also so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, he hugged me tightly and said, "Yaya, thank you for giving me this opportunity to regain our lost love!" ”
After the wedding, we decided to have such an "anniversary wedding" every year in the future to celebrate our love and marriage. This decision has made our married life much more interesting and exciting.
Looking back now, that decision was one of the best choices of my life. It not only allows us to regain the love we lost, but also makes our married life better and happier. I believe that as long as we manage and care for our love and marriage with our hearts, they will bloom forever in our hearts like a rose that never withers.
