aug24 The day after

August 24th 2016 PM

Yup it is no surprise
that I had a great day.

So much prep time for the small things,

paid off with many compliments

about the details I cherish.

Being able to reuse

the exact items we had used

the day of our wedding,

brought back strong emotions

in a lot of people.

The cake and the cupcakes were amazing.

There are no words to express,

how well the Bake-E-Ree

managed to replicate the top tier

of my original wedding cake.

That cake was created by

my Mother and Godmother

and is as much a part of my memories

as the ceremony itself.

I loved it then

and I appreciate the effort that went into

recreating it for us today.

The cupcakes were so delicious,

I think I could have charged for them,

and had REAL butter cream icing,

which was over and above

what I had hoped for.

Thank you to KWS Sweet Treats

for the hard work

and love you put into them,

and allowing Judy to help create them.

The ceremony was relaxed

and only a half hour long.

John's gift to me was my wedding band.

On our wedding day we exchanged rings,

I had taken his and had it engraved.

He did not.

BUT!

Today I got my band back

and he had engraved 25 years of love

on the inside for me.

He gave me flowers and a card too!

Probably could count on 1 hand

how often he does that,

so it was special to me.

I headed to the reception hall

and finished the last minute touches

that made the hall what I wanted,

ordered a drink,

and sat back to enjoy my day.

So many people came

to celebrate with us.

Many many in person,

and many more by email.

We appreciate everyone's love

and wishes on our anniversary

and hope to spend many more years,

celebrating with all of you.

John was sent home at 8pm to sleep

as he had to work at midnight

(which we missed and he overslept).

When I got home,

I could barely move!

I fell on the bed at 11

and sleep came quickly.

So very exhausted (still),

Good afternoon from John Street
