I will never think lightly of all the steps Deny made by giving up so much from her life in Indonesia to follow me all the way to the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In our two year marriage, we, like any other couples, experienced so many positive things and sometimes negative things. The sum of these experiences made the bond between us stronger and we still have many things to look out for in life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sometimes Deny asks \u2018Why don&#8217;t we meet each other earlier in life?\u2019. And then I usually have some logical response, like \u2018Be glad, we <i>did <\/i>meet each other&#8230;\u201d Of course it would have been wonderful too meet earlier, but maybe in life we open our sensors for love and meeting when we are ultimately ready for the experience\u00a0so the time we met <em>is<\/em>\u00a0the perfect time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As my late Dad\u00a0once replied per mail to our\u00a0congratulations for my parents\u00a0marriage anniversary: \u2018<em>if it is up to us we hope you two will\u00a0witness many more anniversaries\u00a0to come<\/em>\u2019. Sadly for them\u00a0it turned out to be\u00a0their last marriage anniversary as my Dad passed away a few\u00a0months later. Needless to say that\u00a0Deny and I intend to celebrate\u00a0many, many more anniversaries and in the meantime enjoy our time in life together&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3111\" style=\"width: 715px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/deny-ewald-lake-como.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3111\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3111\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/deny-ewald-lake-como.png\" alt=\"Deny Ewald were at lake como\" width=\"705\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/deny-ewald-lake-como.png 705w, http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/deny-ewald-lake-como-200x200.png 200w, http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/deny-ewald-lake-como-650x650.png 650w, http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/deny-ewald-lake-como-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/deny-ewald-lake-como-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deny and Ewald were at lake como, Italy<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">-Den Haag, 9 Agustus 2016-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks the two year anniversary of our marriage: on August 9th 2014 we tied the knot on that\u00a0beautiful day in Situbondo, East-Java.\u00a0Last year it was Deny who wrote on this blog to\u00a0commemorate this our first year anniversary, this year&#8230; <a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/2016\/08\/two-years-married\/\">(READ MORE)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-living-in-netherlands","category-our-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3110"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3110"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3118,"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3110\/revisions\/3118"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.conedm.nl\/denald\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
