Event planner, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe and her husband, Onome have celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary today, January 22.
In a post shared on her Instagram page this afternoon, the mother of two, reflected on their marital life for over a decade.
She said there have been times they were tempted “ to get off the train, bus or plane” but they have come to the understanding that every marriage is different.
The CEO of Zapphaire Events added there is no perfect marriage, as it’s two imperfect people coming together as one, but herself and her husband recognised that every marriage is different, different people, ideals, situations, circumstances and challenges.
The event planner recalled when she used to complain about her husband playing football every Saturday and even watching it too much but she revealed that she now begs him play.
Her post reads;
14 years ago , we both took that leap and said I do on the 20th of January . He won’t admit it but he cried that day oh lollll as soon as he saw me walking down the aisle.
How I walked slowly that day I don’t even know but i my dad held me down lol. It’s been a journey and a half. It’s not been a perfect ride as most things in life aren’t and we’ve been tempted “to get of the train , bus or plane” but hey, we’re still here lol.
There is no perfect marriage, as it’s two imperfect people coming together as one, but we’ve recognized the humbling fact that every marriage is different, different people, ideals, situations, circumstances and challenges.
We continue to compromise !!!!communicate!!!! and learn, unlearn and relearn ( chai ) inspite and despite the challenges we choose each other and focus on the good and great moments lol. I remember when I used to complain about my husband playing football every Saturday (yes) and even watching it too much but now I beg please play and watch on …I need my Saturdays .
May we continue be friends of each other and love each other and grow daily in God’s love, grace and purpose for our lives.
Happy wedding anniversary to us ohhhhhh. I thank God we found each other.
