It started off great with our wedding video coming in! Yes! We got to watch our video on our first anniversary. How fitting. It was great reliving the moments and really feeling like we got married just yesterday. I loved seeing everyone and being reminded how stunning and in-love we looked that day. I mean, in my opinion, we still are that stunning and in-love, but it's different when you can watch yourselves in such an intense moment in time.
When we got to the hotel, they gave us a complimentary suite upgrade - corner suite on the 8th floor! Hello luxury! It was a great room with a great view. After getting ready for dinner and watching our video, we walked a couple of blocks across the street to a restaurant for a pretty good meal. Dessert was to follow, back at the hotel, with our year-old wedding cake....
... that looked like this....
Needless to say, we did not try any of it. It didn't survive the year, which was heart breaking. Luckily, when we called for room service brownies/ice cream to make up for the cake disaster, they remembered it was our anniversary and brought us a complimentary bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberries. I'd say that was a positive in this cake mess.
So what gifts did we exchange? Well, pictures are definitely coming soon, but I gave Phillip a five foot by four foot canvas collaged with maps of places we've been since we've been together and a quote about love and distance. He gave me homemade fence picket art (who knew he was so creative!?) and his grandmother's re-dipped diamond earrings. Beautiful. Again, pictures to come. I have an entire entry to write about the how-to for my project.
What a perfect anniversary. Even the cake disaster will make for great memories in the future.
