something borrowed, something blue.......
i didn't incorporate any of these elements into my fairly non-traditional wedding. ours only cost $300. and we made our own wedding cake. it was good: austrian hazelnut torte!
secret: i got married so that my husband could get his green card. guess what, we've been married longer than Kim Kardashian has managed. very much longer in fact.....it's a good thing.
and we just celebrated our wedding anniversary. but a whole life together inevitably becomes all of that.......something old, something new....doesn't it?

Hope you and Mr. Hub had a nice celebration!
ReplyDeleteOh... those breakfast bowls, you know how they make me drool...and the overall color scheme of this post is just delicious :) Good taste can be found here!
Sounds like my idea of a good wedding (I'm not one for lots of pomp and ceremony! :)
ReplyDeleteA very happy (belated) anniversary to you both!
Bon anniversaire !!! et d'accord avec toi pour le subtil mélange du vieux et du neuf dans la looongue vie à deux ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet post MP. $300... so romantic somehow!
ReplyDeleteLoved that green cane chair and some of those china pieces.
Such a romantic post!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your marriage is a "good thing." :-) There is no such thing as the "right way" to do things. Whatever makes you happy and helps you do what you think is right is wonderful. Wishing you many, many happy years together. :-)
ReplyDeletehad to google who kim kadashian is :) sounds like my kind of wedding too and happy anniversary :)
ReplyDeleteLove both, your pictures and your story! And do you know of what I had to think when I saw all that vintage ceramics and read about your wedding? I thought of "polternight", a german wedding tradition. It's a party celebrated just before the wedding day, where all guests smash lots of porcelain and ceramics to the ground, which is meant to bring luck (Glass and mirrors don't and are therefore not allowed!). This is why we have the German saying "Scherben bringen Glück" = shards bring good fortune). ;o)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I love the bowls in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteI made my wedding cake, too. it was a rich chocolate layer cake with gold ribbon on the outside.
Well, you probably had better motives for getting married than Ms. Kardashian did. Any time a homemade hazelnut torte is involved it has to be a success, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLovely! And I wish you many more happy years together :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! And I agree 100% with Janis re the images.
