Things to tell

I have been keeping secrets from you...

Remember the party that we were planning to celebrate our 15 - 10 - 5 anniversary (first kiss 15 years ago, wedding 10 years ago and you know the other one from 5 years ago)? Well, we celebrated on June 1st!

It changed over time from a 50's themed party where we would renew our vows to having a party with our close friends and family where the children would not be left out. We asked everyone to come dressed in black and we were very happy to see that almost everybody obliged!

Here's the invitation I made:

The words in the background read:

"To love is nothing. To be loved is something. To love and be loved is everything."

I got the quote of the internet but I don't remember who wrote it.

Here are the seating cards (handmade, of course :)

And here's some of the decoration I made (the children helped with the flowers).

The paper ribbons at the bottom flow gently in the wind.

And here we are...

5 Years ago Kenneth gave me a livestrong bracelet and I have worn it night and day ever since, so I didn't want to take it off now. But since it stands out due to its yellow colour I tried to come up with a way that I could still wear it. I was inspired by the corsages girls wear at the proms in the States. We don't have them around here, so I made my own. Inside the satin ribbon is my yellow bracelet. I think it looked very nice (especially considering that I spent nearly two hours on it!).

We danced to Bryan Adams, our wedding song : "When you really love a woman".

And then we hit the dessert buffet (picture to follow later)!

♥♥♥

To my love

"I hope you don't mind that I put down in words,

How wonderful life is now you're in the world."

I love you.
