"Happy anniversary to yooouu! Happy anniversary to yooooooouu!" A gathering of friends and family singing, clapping, shouting at the top of their lungs. Ten years of marriage must be celebrated. It has to be a loud and lavish affair. Frank and Bridget Azerty hadn’t seen it coming. The goodies - along with their bearers - had sneaked into their apartment, sight unseen. Friends and relatives, on the whole respectful when it came to matters of privacy, had taken over the place without an invite, arms loaded with melons, lobsters, prosciutto and champagne. On 'special' days, brace yourself for surprises! Mid-morning, Frank had found an anniversary card in the mailbox:

Happy anniversary to both of you!

Next thing you know, it was as if they were part of a sped-up film. The guests had pushed the furniture back against the walls (they would have moved the walls, too, given half a chance!), and the lights had gone all disco. Their cosy world had been overrun, turned on its head, possessed, besieged. All they could do was stand there, arms at their sides, like a couple of stunned mullets, under a spell. The boundless love of friends and family!

With all this fuss over him and Bridget, Frank grows uncomfortable. He would have preferred to celebrate the event in private, just the two of them, without all the singsongs, the streamers and this music which was making the walls vibrate. People stuffing their faces, ranting and raving with drinks in hand... It all seems a bit unreal. The music felt like a rush of speed until a gong went off in Frank’s ear. Brought back to reality, he hears someone say, 

"A speech, Franky! Franky, a speeecch!"

"This can’t be happening," he tells himself as a hand pushes him forward.

"Yes! You have to! Come on!"

"You’ve got to be kidding..." he protests, visibly shaken.

"Speech! Speech!"

Frank climbs up onto the table as he would to the gallows.

Soon the general hubbub gives way to silence. Frank pans over the gathering, all familiar faces. They’re all there. Around thirty people. In the first row: John and Mary, Brian and Helen, George and Kate. Without forgetting his blue-eyed, blond-haired wife, Bridget, offering him an encouraging smile. Frank is the husband she handpicked ten years ago. A fine example of a tall, muscular manliness, complete with short brown hair and green eyes. Meanwhile, up on the table, the bear-trap has him by the ankle.

Frank swallows hard. He is petrified. The audience is getting impatient.

"A speech, Franky! Give us a speech!"

As far as he can remember, Frank has never felt so totally out of it. Complete with cerebral short-circuiting.

what a shame that you only have 3 books for adults. Although those you have are very good (i liked especially Couple of the Year since you can have 2 heroes). I hope you give us some more soon! I will be the first to order your next title!

I saw on your French website that you have way more titles there. It's a shame. I would love to have more choices, although the ones you have look good. I hope you develop even more, this concept is fabulous.

I had much fun filling out the forms and searching for answers to a few specific questions. The book is beautiful, too. I just wish there was a few more shipping options since I didn't need an express shipping, but had to pay for it anyway.

Hi, I loved your website, it’s wonderful. I would never have thought this product existed, but I saw it on tv and so I went on your website and I fell in love with it and with the idea. I bought my first book and I can’t wait until it gets here. I bought it as a gift for my best friend. I’m sure I will buy again in the future. Bravo! This is an incredible idea! Thanks for your great work!
