A flower on the table of a restaurant on our weekend away. A flower that couldn’t remind me more of the place we got married those ten years ago. A flower that my husband tried to convince me he had arranged to be put there – until I asked the waiter!
It might not be a conventional one this shared life of ours, but it’s a good one, and I thank my lucky stars (nearly) every day… I am however quite sad that nobody bought us a roll of tin foil to commemorate though – aluminium who would have thought!…

as a not being married person and a person who forgets when I met my OH (luckily, so does he) I have not experience of wedding anniversary gifts, but I do love the idea of a meal out with the OH. Lovely sentiments. I hope he appreciated this post.
I am in the process of building you a life size swan out of aluminium foil. Collect it next time you are in Bristol! Deal?
bavaria says
Yes. Definitely a deal, I LOVE Bristol! :D Thanks Gemma! xx

older mum in a muddle says

Funky Wellies says
Awww… Happy anniversary!
What a gorgeous flower… And did you get that tin foil in the end? xx
bavaria says
Thank you… I did get something silver in colour and very shiny, but not tin foil thankfully! :D xx
Anya from Older Single Mum and The Healer says
Congratulations and what a lovely sign from the Universe with that beautiful and unusual flower! Clicked through to your original post – fascinating travelling and gorgeous wedding pic :) x
bavaria says
Thank you lovely! :) x
Pia says
I didn’t know 10 was aluminium :) Happy, happy aniversary to you both, Emma!
bavaria says
It is indeed! Thanks Pia! :)

I’m laughing at the fact that your husband tried to pretend he had planned the romantic gesture. Mine tries to do that when he brings home a bunch of flowers or potted plant – and I know they’re from a patient.
Happy anniversary! Not long before our silver…good grief, that’s really old.
bavaria says
Thank you… The fact that every other table had them too kind of gave it away! :D Silver sounds good though, and you are hardly old love! :) x
Donna @ Little Lilypad Co says

A Patchwork Life says
Happy Anniversary! I gave my husband a nice lightweight step ladder for our 10th! :)
bavaria says
That is such a good idea! :D x
Emma @emvanstone says
Awww, Happy Anniversary! Does it seem like 10 years ago? We’ve been married 12 now, I can hardly believe it.
bavaria says
Thanks Emma… in some respects it has flown past, but when I sit down and think about what we have done in those ten years it seems like a long time! :D xx
Mummy Barrow says
hahah… imagine if you got a roll for your anniversary>?!
Congratulations!
bavaria says
Better than nothing I reckon (not that I did get nothing from the Mr luckily!)… Thank you! x
maggy, red ted art says
Awww Happy Anniversary!!! What a coincidence to have that flower at the restaurant!
bavaria says
Such a lovely coincidence, and then on the menu they had wine from the vineyard we spent the day after our wedding, so of course we had to have a bottle of that! :D
Ali Clifford says
lovely…. My OH asked me last week if we’d had our first wedding anniversary yet… good grief, we go married 16 months ago :)
congrats by the way! x
bavaria says
Thanks Ali! One year is paper, which could be all manner of lovely things, tickets, vouchers, money!! :D It’s never too late! :)
Mammasaurus says
Ahhh happy anniversary !
Such a beautiful flower – and a beautiful wedding dress you wore (well I had to sneak and take a peek!)
bavaria says
Thank you lovely! That pic of my Dad and I always makes me laugh. I was trying not to trip up on the dress, and he was walking too fast, and my sister’s were trying not to step on the back of my dress at the same time! :D x
