Ten Years. Ten Whole Years.

Ten. Years.

We have been married for TEN YEARS.

It feels crazy. It feels like last year I was worrying everyone would have a good time at our wedding. And if my wedding dress would fit. And if the photographer, videographer, hair dresser and makeup artist would turn up.

I worry too much. It was a great day, In fact, it was two great days. We got married legally on the same day as the royal wedding and then a week later had a Humanist wedding ceremony and a great big party.

I’m sure if we were getting married now, especially with a pandemic, we’d do things very differently. But ask me ten years later whether I’d do a lot of things differently and my answer would be yes.

Ten years.

There’s a lot of food in the photos I chose for this post. A lot of our relationship has involved food. The duck I ate on our first date. The sushi place we went to on our third date. The steak restaurant we went to a lot when we lived in Monkstown. The dinner we had the night we got engaged. Eating moules frites for dinner on the day of our first wedding. Having a big wedding meal with our friends and family. Enjoying a randomly nice lunch on a stopover on honeymoon. Stacks of seafood in Napa and New York.

This wasn’t really the ten year anniversary we planned, but it was good all the same. I hope we have a lot more meals to look forward to.

Ten Years. Ten Whole Years.
