The Beauty of the Unexpected
Perhaps one of the biggest lessons that can be taken from this evening was that life doesn’t go as planned, and it’s okay. After all, some of the best moments in life happen when things take an unexpected turn. James and Sarah learned to embrace the unpredictability of life and knew that it is precisely in those surprise moments and unplanned situations that the strongest bonds are created.
Their anniversary dinner had started with some spontaneity, what with Sarah showing up quite early and some unexpected laughter. They didn’t make a fuss about it; on the contrary, they reveled in this change in plan and went on with an evening of love, joy, and connectiveness. Sometimes, James surmised, that’s exactly how life gets its most precious moments – stepping away from control and just letting the things of life happen their way. James and Sarah knew that as they looked into the future, there was no doubt that the unknown would define their relationship. A ruined anniversary dinner could have turned out to be something, or a totally impromptu adventure was around the corner. For sure, they were going to face everything life had to offer them as long as they did it together. The point was not about plans but about love and a life together.
