seven years

i know it's cliched to say, but i loved our wedding. we held the ceremony in an old paper mill in southern minnesota, with just our closest friends and family present. i wore an inexpensive watters and watters gown that to this day i still love, and doug wore a blue floral button-down shirt from urban outfitters. there wasn't a dance or a bouquet toss and we didn't have a cake cutting ceremony, but the day was perfect.

to celebrate our anniversary this year, we got a chance to steal away for a romantic dinner, walk and movie. i was lucky enough to score one of anabela's beautiful, err, i mean handsome "may 4" floral ties and i gave it to doug to wear right before we left the house. anabela even embroidered our wedding day on the cotton twill loop on the back! doug loved it and i couldn't stop looking at it throughout the night.

as i gazed romantically into doug's tie over dinner, he and i did a really terrible job trying to remember how we've spent our previous anniversaries. i remembered just a couple and i don't think doug remembered any, BUT he did remember the one that counts - this year's! high five, doug! and as far as the others we've forgotten, that's what photos are for, right?
