I know I said I wasn’t going to post this week, but I thought I would share a few thoughts about our day. We spent our actual anniversary with a few of our closest friends at our annual New Year’s Eve party (which we may still be recovering from). But this weekend, we were able to actually spend some quality time together. It is very important to spend quality time together as you read in “The 5 Love Languages“.
After the wedding, we put a bottle of wine, our vows, the shower cards, and the wedding cards into a wooden box we received from my uncle. We determined we would open it on our first anniversary and drink the bottle of wine.
After our friends left, and we got the house back into some kind of order, we decided to have a nice anniversary dinner and open our box. It was a wonderful evening. We had stone crabs and a bottle of our wedding wine which was Witching Hour. We read the cards all over again, which were so pretty and sweet. In the end, we read our vows to each other again. Saying and hearing them again made us both a bit tearful.
Although it was a nice, simple evening, it was very meaningful. We took the time to just sit with each other and remember what a wonderful day our wedding was and how we are so blessed by amazing friends and family members. We can’t thank you enough for being a part of our day. Here’s to a fresh start and a brand new year. Let’s make some more memories!
Now, what to put in the box for next year?!!
