Since I wasn't going to be able to celebrate our anniversary with my darling husband on our actual anniversary, we celebrated it the night before. The actual day of I had a competition over an hour away and was scheduled to get home very late.
I had debated about what gift to get the Mr. but then we decided to skip the gifts. We didn't miss them either.
Instead of gifts I wanted to recreate the meal from our wedding that we barely got to eat. I called up our fabulous and favorite caterer and asked for the same meal for two people. I picked it up the Friday afternoon before we were to celebrate and she even gave it to us for free!
We got two fillet mignon steaks, chicken cordon blue, macaroni and cheese and twice stuffed over sized potatoes.
We sat outside on the patio for dinner, which worked out perfectly because it was beautiful out! The weather was a little breezy and cool.
For dessert we had saved our cake topper from the wedding. Year old cake... umm... yeah... Its tradition so we played along. Actually, Mr. P made me play along. Since I knew that cake wasn't going to be good, i ordered cupcakes from the same place that did them for our wedding also.
We used our wedding flutes for a toast with some wine ( and beer) and dug into the cupcakes after trying a tiny sliver of our wedding cake.
It was such a relaxing night, I wish we could have more of those!
Sounds like a wonderful night. Happy anniversary. I am sure you will have more wonderful nights in the years to come.
