After trying to explain what an eternity ring was, and that it's supposedly given on the first anniversary.. Aaron said he'd never heard of one before. I'm still trying to work out if he was playing dumb or if he really had no idea ... I'm going to go with no idea.
So after resigning to the fact that I wouldn't be receiving an eternity ring, all I asked of him was a card.. a card that he'd actually written in - from the heart. In the 4 years we've been together, in typical male fashion, he hasn't given me a card once - we came close on my last birthday.. he bought the card and had all intentions of writing in it... but it's still sitting in the cupboard ... maybe next year.
I was absolutely thrilled that he even made the card this time - very exciting!! AND he wrote in it - with a beautiful message xxx
Rather than both trying to surprise the other with an outing or romantic dinner - we decided we'd take turns each year to organise the 'anniversary event'. Aaron got the honours this year, seeing as I organised the wedding - I thought that was only fair.. naturally.. hehe.
He, together with his Mum, cooked and prepared a beautiful picnic.. complete with bubbly. He took me to Burleigh Heads...it was a beautiful afternoon. We had 4 courses - nibblies, entree, main & dessert.. he really outdid himself...
He made prawn kebabs - which was the first thing he cooked me when we first met... so yummy.
From this spot, we were both looking at the waves and wishing that we had bought our boads and were in the water.. actually really similar to when we got engaged - funny!
Extreme close ups!!
And for dessert... lychees - yumm! Aaron obviously had other ideas about the lychees though
Looking forward to the next year - no doubt it will be full of excitement and adventure
