Marriage is a journey that often comes with its fair share of ups and downs.

The story of my own marriage has been marked by a decade of shared experiences, love, and, unfortunately, a recurring lapse in memory on a significant date.

For 10 years, my husband and I have celebrated our wedding anniversary, and for 10 years, he has failed to wish me a simple “happy anniversary.” His excuse? The classic “I can’t remember everything.”

Needless to say, frustration had been building up within me, and this year, I decided to make my husband remember our date for life.

With determination and a dash of mischief, I embarked on a mission to teach my forgetful husband a lesson he wouldn’t soon forget.

Brad, my husband, is a co-founder and director at a large firm.

Seizing the opportunity, I enlisted the help of his business partner, who happened to be a good friend of mine. Together, we hatched a plan that would turn the tables on Brad’s selective memory.
