2015

When you and Alex got married it was clear to everyone that he adored you. It seemed like the guy who said he would never get married suddenly got married. So you definitely had your own special influence on him.

You motivated him a lot and gave him strength. If it weren't for you, he probably would never have decided to show his work to the world.

So he became a famous artist quite quickly. He had a lot of his own painting exhibitions many orders. You were infinitely happy for him because he deserved all this having his huge talent.

It was your birthday. You didn't like to make it a big celebration, but Alex wanted to make it a world-class event.

"My dear wife deserves the best, have I said that yet?" he giggled as he put a very expensive necklace on you. He didn't really know much about brands and chose something very expensive and shiny.

"Honey... it's terribly expensive..." you looked at yourself in the mirror, embarrassed, touched by his gift.

"I'll be damned if I'm going to skimp on you, love..." he hugged you kissing your neck "Besides, this is not the main gift. The most interesting is yet to come."

Despite your embarrassment and protests, you allowed him to blindfold you and lead you where he wanted.

You heard the quiet rustling and familiar giggles of your friends and family who were desperately trying not to give themselves away.

Alex kisses the top of your as he removes the blindfold from your eyes.

"Happy birthday, my beloved wife!"

You saw that you were at his closed exhibition where everything was hung with your portraits in different styles.

The sounds of champagne being opened and your family's joyful squeals pierced your ears.
