This day in history: a quiz
May 25 marks what?
a) The release of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
b) Towel Day
c) The day that I married the love of my life
d) All of the above
If you answered d, you’re a genius. And if you know what Towel Day is, you’re also a geek.
Today, Matte and I are celebrating our first anniversary. Last night we had dinner here, the restaurant that catered our wedding. We drank fantastic wine from the winery where we got married, and for dessert, the restaurant replicated a small version of our wedding cake. It was a perfect meal, with perfect company.
After leftover wedding cake for breakfast, Matte and I are visiting Murrieta’s Well for a few tastes of wine and a picnic (if the weather holds out). Then we have appointments at a spa for some pampering, courtesy of our friends June and Beth.
We got each other gifts, (paper is the traditional first wedding gift), but my gift to him isn’t ready yet, and his to me wasn’t ready in time either. So, darn, we’ll just have to celebrate again next weekend! As someone who celebrates their birthday for the entire month of August, this is fine by me. And I do have a gorgeous floral arrangement to enjoy. It’s made of purple irises, white roses and green hydrangeas - the same flowers that decorated our special day - all kept safely out of the destructive cats’ reach.
The other day, my friend Krissy, who introduced me to Matte said that she was thinking about us and realized that Matte is the perfect guy for me. She said it is as if we were made for each other. I couldn’t agree more.
Matte, I love you with all my heart. If this past year is any indication, we are in for a wonderful life together, filled with laughter, silliness, and love.
Happy Anniversary! (again)

I work with Matte…congratulations to you both on your Anniversary! I hope you are both very happy!
Sorry to chime in late - but Happy Anniversary! And thank’s for the Towel Day lesson.
Also - may I say that you got married in one of the most awesome places and more than likely had some of the best food! We were almost married at Wente and we were just out at Murietta’s Well over the holidays, stocking up the cellar!
What a great way to celebrate! Cheers to you both :o)
