One year ago today, on Friday July 13th two individual lives departed from this world and bloomed as one. I find this fitting for my project. The first anniversary is known as paper and its flower is the carnation (subject to debate). Due to this I have been (painstakingly) making a bouquet of paper carnations. I have also given them a slight spritz of wild flower perfume. Now to find the perfect vase.
I am thinking that my wife will add this half-bouquet of carnations to her shadow box that contains the dried rose from our first date, along with a flower from her wedding bouquet.
Of course this is not the only thing that I am doing to celebrate but I hope she likes this gift the best. It comes from the heart and I made it. :) Other items on the agenda are as follows: Breakfast (done), lunch (done), nice dinner with Champagne (next up), and a trip to the spa (tomorrow). On Monday we leave for a four day romantic get away in Toledo (Spain). Rose peddles on the bed, Jacuzzi (ensuite), tours of the three major religions churches, and a tour of the sword blacksmith facilities (her idea).
Sounds good to me. :)
That being said, it was hard to believe that a year had passed, back in April, since my arrival in Spain. Even harder to fathom that a year has passed since my wedding. I raise my glass and hope for many more to come.
