Today marks the 21st year of the Anniversary of day I married the Man that I love. It was not raining that day, but it had snowed the night before and it was covered in a beautiful blanket of snow. It was perfect, except I originally wanted a fall wedding....oh well. Such is life with its twists and turns! Our Wedding Day was beautiful in many ways. We were lucky enough to have a free choir singing and a beautiful day outside (it was so sunny!), so it was bonus when we got the chance to be married with Christmas Trees, a Manger Scene, gold Altar Cloth and Poinsettias. We begged Fr. Joe to leave them up and thankfully, he did. So, every year, we leave our Christmas Tree up until after our Anniversary, to honor the memory of a family begun on that special day!
Loudly yours,
Alicia
ps- This year I started a tradition of putting the Christmas Cards on the Tree. I love it and will do it again next year....it was the tape's fault....since it got itself lost! ;)
Happy Anniversary! Love the idea of the Anniversary tree! Nice to have such a special day in the midst of a special season! Wishing you 21+ more years of love, joy and laughter!
