Hope you’re having a wonderful week. These past 14 days have been extremely busy for us, and I apologize for the lack of blog posts. Mr. Handsome and I recently celebrated our three-year wedding anniversary. I don’t mean to sound cliche, but these three years have flown by. It truly does feel like only yesterday we were saying our vows and jetting off on our honeymoon.
Our Hawaii trip was our three-year celebration, but we wanted to do something fun on the actual day, as well. I know that an anniversary is much more than just a day, but I like the idea of keeping the day special. Our Bible study was meeting on the day of our anniversary, and we considered attending, but we ended up deciding to spend the evening just the two of us. And that was a great decision!
We dressed up in fancy clothes and went out to a steak restaurant. The meal was magnificent, and the dessert (a fancy banana cake) was delectable. When the server found out it was our anniversary, he brought us our dessert on a plate decorated with melted chocolate.
When we returned home, we used our tripod to take our annual anniversary picture. (It only took about 98,394 tries.) At this point, it’s a picture of us holding a picture of us holding a picture of us holding a picture of us on our wedding day. (Did I get that right?) I can’t wait to see what it looks like when we’re 80. I’m sure the original picture won’t be recognizable. If you’re wanting to borrow the idea, I recommend using an 8×10 framed picture each year. We started with a 5×7, but I wish we had gone bigger.
Happy anniversary you two! Love the picture idea– so fun!!
Thanks, Alicia Mae!
Hi! I’m the reader who suggested the photo of the photo idea a few years back! So cute to see that you really liked the idea! :))))
Thank you for suggesting it! Such a great idea! Trying to remember if it’s something you do or if you just saw the idea somewhere and thought it was cute?
Ellie
Ehi, I just saw your response! I’m not married (even though I suppose you could replicate the idea with whatever other kind of photo, like a portrait for your birthday): I saw another copule that I follow online do it. 🙂
Congratulations! You both look great, like a happy ever after should! Thank-you for sharing. Looks like you shared your dessert!
Thank you! We did enjoy our dessert, and we ordered one to take home for later. Haha.

Horizon Blue and Lime Green. Blue is my favorite color and Lime Green is his.
Sounds lovely! Is there a lot of planning still to be done, or are you pretty much finished with the big details?
Pretty much done now just to put it all together. Alot of diy stuff too do. The center pieces and the flowers for the guys and girls. getting stuff done for the cookie table. My dad is making a thing for us to stand under.
That’s great. DIY-ing is lots of fun. Hope your day is wonderful. 🙂

Do you cut his hair yourself?
I did once, but since then he’s been going to a barber. His hair is difficult to cut because it’s very thick (which is one of the things I love about it).
Ellie
Happy Anniversary to you both! 🙂
THanks, Moonsparkle!
