Yesterday Danny and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary! Hard to believe just this time last year we were surrounded by so many friends and family all at once and how HOT it was!
We had dinner at the Carolina Inn which was where our wedding/reception was. Catrina-- if you're reading this, here was what we had for dinner:
YUM!
Along with Biltmore Estate Champagne (Asheville, NC)

Appetizers: Grilled White and Green Asparagus, Frisee, Serrano Ham, Manchego Cheese, Shaved Radish, Latta Farm Sunny Side Egg, Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette

Danny
Appetizers: Cornmeal Crusted Veal Sweet Breads, Spring Pea Puree, Oyster Mushrooms, Corn, Toasted Pecans, Apple Bacon, Chili Oil
Entree: Chili & Cumin Rubbed Bison Strip Steak, Crispy Oysters, New Potatoes, Vidalia Onions, Cremini Mushrooms, Dandelion Greens, Truffled Veal Jus
Dessert: Bread pudding with ice-cream and raspberries and they treated us to a chocolate brownie.
As tradition of the Paper Anniversary, I gave Danny our wedding invite and rsvp card framed. He was more creative and did a fun scavenger hunt based on clues on six different cards. Each card had some sort of "paper" gift with it: notebook, paper roses pop-up, and books. His first card was a "regular" anniversary card but the design was in pink and brown -- just like our wedding. The remaining cards were reprints of Rothko (my favorite artist) and they were all filled with verses and loving words that give his vows a run for their money.
This first year really has been one long honeymoon. Say what you want about us being newlyweds but we have an AWESOME blessed fun loving marriage!!! All glory to God our Father for it!
To celebrate our anniversary, Lauren wore her bridesmaid dress to church :)
We are headed to Kitty Hawk for a whole week next Monday (my birthday FYI) and accidentally keep calling it our honeymoon. This year BamBam is joining us and still unsure if Beth is going to meet us for dinner!
I hate to sound like being happy is important, because as a Christian I know that is not what life is about. BUT can I just say, my husband makes me SO HAPPY!!

Happy Anniversary! You guys look like the perfect couple, and I'm just so thrilled that you are totally in love!
I love your hubby's scavenger hunt idea...what a keeper!
Happy Anniversary! I still tell people that it was the best wedding I have ever attended.
I can't believe you were able to scarf that much food. It sounds divine, although I must admit that I don't know what all of it was. lol
Congratulations you 2 lovebirds!! I'm so happy for you both. This is a ginormous milestone to celebrate. I loved the pix of your wedding too as I am still so sad to have missed the big day. Have a great time in OBX!!
