this kind of completes the whole 12/12/12 circle for us... to be honest though, neither dave or i can remember the date of our actual first night out... we just know it was around the last saturday in march. so we choose to use that last saturday as our actual anniversary. looking at a year 2000 calendar, i can see that saturday was actually the 25th, but - the last saturday just seems so much easier to celebrate on. however this year, being a 5 weekend month - it gave us a bit more leeway with our celebrations...
in honour of our first date, we are returning to the pub where it all started... the earl of sussex
in actuality, this isn't a great place... i think we chose it because dave lived so close at the time and it was walking distance. in fact, we have celebrated previous anniversaries here and have laughed about how mediocre the food really was. but for us, it's still special and we look forward to returning and reliving that first night.
not ever really being able to pinpoint the exact date of our anniversary was what made 12/12/12 such an obvious choice for a wedding date. we can never forget it...
though i don't think we'll ever give up our march anniversary either... it's become too special to us. and, we really do love to celebrate everything, especially being together.
Dear Erinn,
ReplyDeleteI still remember first meeting you, probably 11 years ago now. I thought "Cool friend of Dave's..." Then you put your hand on Dave's while he shifted gears. I think we might have been driving downtown, by the canal towards the Chateau. Its a good memory.
So glad to have you in Dave's life and in my own. You already make an awesome addition to the family, it's perfect that this wedding will make it official.
Thanks also for the pictures, I enjoyed looking through them. The 2 "then and now" pictures are my favourite.
So much love to you both,
Paul
