The Joy of Two Types of Birthdays: Casual Gatherings and Romantic Escapes

Life is full of special moments, and birthdays are certainly among them. Celebrating a birthday can mean different things to different people. Some prefer a simple gathering with close family or friends, while others opt for an elaborate and romantic escape. In this piece, we explore both, along with a fun take on the meaning of a birthday celebration.

A Simple Birthday Celebration

I celebrated my birthday on 12th November in a very personal and intimate way. The day began by travelling to my mother-in-law's place, where we had a cozy celebration. We cut a cake in the evening, and later enjoyed lunch and dinner together. It was a simple yet meaningful celebration, with just my mother-in-law and a few close friends.

I wore a favorite kurta that I've had since 2020, making the day even more special. The warmth of a loved one's presence and the joy of spending time together are the true essences of a birthday celebration, as this simple gathering so beautifully exemplifies.

A Romantic Birthday Getaway

Another noteworthy birthday (Not my last one) was a journey into the mountains, where my husband surprised me with a beautiful breakfast and a day of heartfelt celebrations. The morning started early with a romantic and delicious breakfast, served in bed as my husband watched my favorite TV show. The following breakfast was a rich and savory western omelet toast, crispy bacon, and freshly brewed orange juice alongside aromatic coffee, accompanied by a bouquet of flowers.

We then set off for a drive to the mountains, where we visited a lookout point and had the serendipity of a minister to renew our vows. This act of reaffirmation was a meaningful gesture, as my husband placed a beautiful ring on my finger in place of my old one. The emotional significance of this moment was unforgettable.

After the ceremony, we drove to a bed and breakfast where we had a lovely lunch consisting of a savory pizza with chicken, jalape?os, and pineapple. We enjoyed a couples' massage in the honeymoon suite, and then returned to the balcony to savor a snack of fruit and cheese accompanied by a bottle of wine. We concluded the afternoon with a relaxing nap, hands intertwined, immersed in tranquility.

Although we were not very hungry, we still went for dinner, where we enjoyed some light salads. Strolling hand in hand along the scenic path, we arrived back at the bed and breakfast to settle into a private hot tub on our balcony. As the sun set, we snuggled into bed, and watched the TV until we fell asleep, exhausted but blissfully happy.

The next morning, we indulged in sweet and creamy crepes with fruit fillings, followed by delicious ham and muffins. The day concluded with a trip to a local farmers market for some freshly picked apples and a chocolate cake to cherish taking home with us.

We made our final stop at the driveway, and that's when I woke up, to a delightful and fulfilling dream. It wasn't real, but my description makes it sound like a wonderful birthday celebration, doesn't it?
