First Anniversary

The New Mr. & Mrs. M
outside our reception venue during the reception

Yesterday was our First Anniversary!

Of course, nothing went as planned. On July 11th, it never seems to!

I was in a bad mood last night and we were trying to eat our frozen cake and I was upset. DH said what does it really matter? All the different things that went wrong on our wedding day and all the things that went wrong yesterday, does it even matter?

The truth is it doesn't.

This was a hard thing to swallow! I think if I get this through my head, I will be a much happier person and I will have a much easier marriage and life.

It has taken me a year to get over all the things that went wrong on our wedding day and technically I'm not over it, but I've realized that it doesn't matter. My husband loves me, we are married. That is all that matters.

Even though he had to tell me he only got two because they were less expensive than he thought they were going to be, he still bought me two dozen pink roses and there was a little card. Even though we were overdressed and had to walk far, Brunch was delicious. Even though the cake didn't taste right and smelled terribly, DH said he would get us fresh cake just like the one we were supposed to eat for our next anniversary. Even though I was a b!tch, he still wants there to be a next anniversary. So overall, if I hadn't been in a bad mood, it would have been a great anniversary.

So let's give my Jonathan some applause for being able to put up with me! I always knew I was blessed to find him and yesterday just proves it even more.

Here is the low key stuff that I loved doing and hope we do every year. We opened champagne that our reception place gave us and toasted in our monogrammed toasting flutes that we both love. Here they are with my beautiful flowers that I put in a vase we got as a wedding present.
