Wedding Anniversary Gifts


This week I will be celebrating my 8th wedding anniversary.  My wedding was on June 4, 2004 at the Polish Center of Wisconsin.  It was a beautiful Friday wedding and the weather was perfect.  The five delivery vans full of flowers got there with time to spare with all my girlfriends running around adding all the final touches. Thinking back, it is amazing what a dream that year was...I bought Bank of Memories & Flowers just a few months before.  I was such a world wind.

Every year my husband Tom and I give the traditional wedding anniversary gifts, this year it was bronze.
We try to have fun with it.  It all started when Tom gave me "paper" for our first Anniversary.  On that paper he listed the top ten highlight moments of being married that first year.
