Wedding (Marriage) Anniversary Speech for Didi and Jija – 25th Wedding Anniversary Speech for Didi and Jija

"Good Evening Everyone!

This is Misha and I am Mansi’s sister. On this day, the silver jubilee of my sister and brother-in-law’s wedding, I would like to raise a toast. I am extremely happy for them, but I wonder at times how both of them have made it this far. I must say that they have set serious marriage goals for other couples.

Marriage is said to be a roller coaster ride with no rules or regulations. Once you board the ride there is no going back. There are bumps and twists and sometimes ride even gets upside down, but the key is to have faith and keep going on till the end just holding each other’s hands. Interesting part is that you all have to learn about the ride in the process without any warning. It is not even the same for everyone.

What I am trying to say here is, we all have got our own journey and it is on us how to make it till the end. Being here, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary is an example that they have done pretty well in their marriage.

In case anyone were to ask me if all these years filled with responsibilities, such as taking care of children as well as managing office were easy or not? I would have said absolutely not! But what is more important to know is the fact that whether you like doing all these things or not. It is all dependent on the couples how adroitly they overcome all the obstacles that are in their path and make the most of their marriage.

I have seen these two together for almost twenty seven years; two years before their marriage and twenty five years post it and I know it is not as simple as it looks. I saw them struggle through the first year of their marriage because it is not easy just to start living with a person, sharing the same space and be as comfortable as you used to be before marriage. Then five years later the wedding, when they had their first child, they did not know a single thing about parenting. But look at them now! They have raised two amazing and beautiful kids. They have surely come a long way since then.

You see, most of the time in later years of marriage, you have less discussions and more arguments. It’s like Tom and Jerry. Just like them you keep fighting, but you cannot live without each other as well. One person fulfills the other and that is how it should work with everyone. Well, you all can look at them if you want to know what togetherness and companionship is all about.

You both have spent your time taking care of others, so I think it is finally time to take a break from work and parenting. Your kids are grown up enough to take care of themselves. Go on a vacation, fulfill your other dreams and do each and everything that you otherwise sacrificed before. You should relive your younger days and private moments. Take your vows again and pledge to each other that you both will keep each other happy as always. I really hope and wish for you guys to stay the same. And I wish all the happiness that you deserve.

Cheers!
