Paper Anniversary

 
Tuesday, September 11th, 2012 marked mine & Eddie's 1 year wedding anniversary.  To celebrate, I looked up the traditional anniversary symbol for the first year, which was "paper".  Some of the gift ideas were things like concert tickets, money, gift certificates, a box of notes to open etc, etc etc.... But I didn't like any of those ideas.  So the longer I thought about paper...paper comes from trees..., I'll get him a tree!!  Our very own 'Love' tree.  ;)

Ha ha, Had to post this...this convo could happen.

So going along with this idea, I wrote Eddie a letter...on paper of course, explaining to him the symbol of paper for the 1st year being the most delicate of years, and as the years go on each traditional symbol, the material gets stronger and more valuable, just as I hope our marriage will.  






Of course, Eddie probably would have rather of had concert tickets, or money....but I'm a helpless romantic... and who am I kidding.  This was more fun for me.  The whole celebration was paper!  Paper napkins, paper plates, I even found these adorable paper place mats.

 A whole year passed. Hard to believe, it went by so fast. Here's to many more!  Cheers!
