We celebrated our one year anniversary this past weekend. It's hard to believe one year has passed since we got married, especially because we have not had our wedding yet:). During our anniversary dinner, we decided to recap the meaningful events from the past year. We wanted to share this to-be-annual tradition with all the important people in our lives. Our list includes memories that are happy, sad, adventurous, drunken, bittersweet and painful. Here goes...
