First wedding anniversary!

I can't believe it's been a year already! It feels like our wedding was yesterday.

Instead of the traditional anniversary gifts (paper for the first anniversary? I guess a person could be creative for that one...), we decided we'd rather do a joint gift and travel somewhere every year.

So with that in mind, we had a nice relaxed day yesterday walking around the city and visiting some new interesting pubs and cafes around Amsterdam, but there is more anniversary celebration to come - we're going to Paris in a few weeks to celebrate! How romantic (we'll see about this, Brian is the romantic one, not me!).

The picture below was taken this year, not during the wedding - we took inspiration from my brother Todd and my sister-in-law Jessy, who started a tradition to have Jessy wear her wedding dress every year for a photograph. It's a nice way to bring a wedding dress out from the back of the closet, plus Brian and I thought it would be pretty fun to have an album to document how our lives change over the years. And I am happy to say I still fit in my dress!

That's such a great idea, Krista! I don't know if I'd be able to get into my wedding dress again, but maybe I'll try it for our next anniversary.

Hope you guys are well!

Love,
Amy

The real question is does Brian still fit in his dress? There's something wrong with just Krista getting dolled up while Bri wears a tee shirt. I think you need to expand the concept.

Molly/Mom
