Happy Holidays

It's our 25th wedding anniversary next year & I WANT a party; OH doesn't.
Now we did chat about this a few weeks ago & I thought we had agreed I would sort it all out & all he needed to do would be there on the night.
Ok, a bit about our marriage, the only other time we have celebrated our anniversary was year 1 & this is how we like it, neither of us is romantic & we don't celebrate valentines day, we just don't feel the need.
I want a party because I'm happy we've been married so long & I want to celebrate the fact with all my friends & family OH said he 'doesn't like things like that' & isn't interested.
I thought the reason he doesn't like 'do's' is because people go & sit around a table drinking & can be boring.
So I'm having a party, there will be games such as musical chairs, pass the parcel, egg & spoon race etc, there may well be a chocolate fountain & candy floss, supper is going to be pie & peas with jelly & ice cream for afters, there won't be a anniversary cake.
Last night we had a bit of a heated discussion were OH quite firmly said he won't be there he will be on holiday or doing something else.
He has in the past said we can go away to celebrate, but to be honest where is he going to take me, we've been to India this year, I want to go again, I also want to go to Tibet, Vietnam....... which I feel we can afford to do anyhow, and will be going in the near future, so to me these places don't warrant a special occassion.
I'm a happy positive person & really don't want to upset OH but I do want to celebrate.
CAN YOU HELP ME WITH A COMPROMISE
