It's our anniversary today! Seven years of wedded bliss, hee hee. It's funny, the weather on the day we got married was pretty much exactly like it was today - warm, with a slight breeze...not too hot, not too cold with beautiful blue skies. I got home early today so I did a quick 30 minute run on the treadmill and kept Hubs company while he did his workout. As I was sitting there reading my new Jillian Michaels book (will post on that later!), I remembered that I had a Rubbermaid tote full of wedding stuff. So what did I do? I busted that puppy out and started rifling through it...and what did I find on top, but my wedding veil! It was wrinkled and all mashed up to hell, but I slapped that thing on my head and walked over to where Hubs was working out. Ha ha! He got a good chuckle out of it as I pretended that I was walking down the aisle, holding my non-existent bouquet.
I'd kept a lot of mementoes of the day - R. had given me a beautiful black and blue satin round hat box that I kept all the really important bits in. It was definitely like walking down memory lane as I hadn't opened that box in seven years! I had all the cards from friends, some seating cards, favours (7 year old Purdy's hedgehogs...mmm mmm!), a plastic flower from the car, a wedding DVD that my brother made for us, our red cloth (in Chinese weddings, all guests write their good luck wishes on a red embroidered silk cloth) and our wedding programmes. It'd been so long that I'd seen them that it was like opening gifts on Christmas morning! I'll admit, I did get a little verklempt reading the programme and thinking back to our wedding day - I really can't believe it was seven years ago. I honestly have nothing but wonderful memories of planning the wedding and the actual day itself - luckily, we didn't have any hiccups. OK, there was one person who I could have lived without and she's unfortunately in our wedding pictures (Photoshop, anyone?) but ahh well...makes for interesting stories!
Happy anniversary, Hubs! XO
