Hi guys 👋🏻
I started this blog just over 10 years ago!! 🔟
🩷💚
It all started because I wanted to document our Wedding planning and all the fun leading up to, and including, the big day!
… 10 years later and me and my husband have just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a party at the weekend, with family and friends 🥳 🎉 We had a great night! We also went out for a yummy meal and to the cinema (on thr night of our actual anniversay)
I blog about books, travel & hobbies these days (mainly books if I’m honest) but thats how it all started!
So happy anniversary to us & my little blog page!
Here is how we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary 💗
As I said, we decided to celebrate with a party 🥳 and idea I’ve toyed with for a while now.
Our theme was a very similar vibe to our wedding – Pink and Green and Italy 🇮🇹
We went for Pink and Green decorations, we used our original glass bottle table decorations (some still had the green and pink candles in) with similar fresh flowers, including my favourite pink Gerberas.
I also used the origianl mini Venitian mask decoration on top of the cake, that we had on our original wedding cake.
I also bought two more, one pink, one green to decorate the food table, when we went to Venice in May Half Term.
We had pink number 10 balloons and lots of pink and green balloons too!
For the food, we went an Italian theme of course! I always wanted pink Macarons as wedding favours but I couldn’t make them 🤣 but my sister is now an assistant in a kitchen so she made them for us, woohoo!
We also had an assortment of Italian themed snacks and then lots of pizza of course.
The star of the show was the Venitian Cicchetti. From salami, mozzarella, pesto, basil, mortadella, Balsamic, tomatoes and much more- these were a big hit and I was chuffed with how these came out.
I made a 4 layer, naked Victoria Sponge to round off the food 😋
One thing I always wished we could have had at our wedding was a professional photobooth, so this time we decided to hire one! This was ALOT of fun.
It was great to chat to everyone who came, enjoy some drinks, dance and take silly photos. We even got a little ‘first dance’ in, to our original first dance song ‘Stand by Me’ 💗 and rounded off the night with ‘Never Forget’ in a circle of dancing, just like our actual wedding – perfect.
We had a brilliant evening and it was so much fun! We didn’t want it to end. The perfect way to celebrate 10 happy years together.
On our actual anniversary I decorated the flat and cooked us a yummy little cooked breakfast. We exchanged cards and gifts before work. My husband sent me some flowers to my work too which was very sweet 💐
In the evening, we went out for a yummy meal at a local Turkish resturant that we enjoy. Followed by a trip to the cinema to see ‘Disclosure Day’. We both really enjoyed the film. A lovely day.
Pretty chuffed I’ve kept my blog up over the years and enjoy keeping it as a sort of diary/record of memories, holidays, trips, books and hobbies that I have enjoyed over the last 10 years.
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
