Eight
Comments (42) Woo hoo, eight years married*, today!
^inside of my wedding band, in case I forget, ha! Steven has it in his, too.
Another year, no plans. Although that photo is making me feel REALLY hungry for cake! Maybe we need cake plans.
Dayum. Our cake was so good. We ordered it from Deerfields Bakery (this is before I was vegan). The cake was marble, with alternating chocolate and regular buttercream between each level. AND, we ordered two extra sheet cakes, because I LOVE CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK** and wanted everyone to be able to eat as much as they wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha ha ha, this plan backfired a bit. We had so much leftover cake (I know, you’re thinking, “that is a problem how…?”) that our fridge was full of it. And we kept eating it. Then we thought the fridge was broken because nothing was staying cool, so we threw what cake we had left out (minus the frozen top teir, of course), along with some other food.
Then after we threw it out, we realized the cake box was too big and that was keeping the fridge door open. Oops! The fridge was working fine after all (once you closed the door)! Ha!
But I digress, with all that cake talk. What I often think about on our anniversary, beyond how happy I am to have Steven as my partner-in-crime, is how I don’t keep in touch with three of my (four) bridesmaids! Eek! It’s funny to me, that at the time I was getting married, I struggled to think of three people to be bridesmaids (beyond my snister as my maid-of-honor, obvs), because I had so few friends. If I was getting married today, that wouldn’t be a problem! And I bet Steven would still ask the same four guys to be groomsmen.
Anyways. We’re a very happy family of three! And this is a COMPLETELY horrible photo, but I have to show how Data participated in the wedding – by being front and center when we opened gifts the day after!
I love how he has his feet resting on Steven’s shoe – what a goofball! (Also, I have since learned how to sit in a chair with a skirt on.)
*I almost wrote “together,” but that’s not right – we’ve been together thirteen years on September 11th!
**It’s a thing for me and Gina to call it CAK, instead of CAKE, when we are excited about it…
