Wedding anniversary

[ZIZI]

In May it will be our 25th anniversary. Now I know most of you have been married longer (oh and we have been together a lot longer as well, ) but i was busy kissing frogs there for a while. We have been having a quiet chat, our dils want a party which we have got down to a lunch for family only. We have decided to have a blessing in the village church. Just me and him, nobody else. No big fru fru frock or fuss. Then we will get a cab to the lunch venue and tell them all. I know the girls in particular will be disappointed but this is what we want do and then we will go away for a couple of days.

Husband is worried that if we don't invite my brother and sisters it could cause trouble but often they are only a few miles from here (live in Bath and Wales) and I only find out on FB so I am not worried.

That sounds lovely Zizi, just the close family will be nice.

Zizi, its true, you do have to kiss a lot of frogs till you find your prince ! x

ZIZI, you should do things how you want to. Your plans sound like it will be a lovely day.
We have never had an anniversary party, always been on holiday, at anniversary time.
On our 25th anniversary,we flew to Turkey.
We spent our 40th flying over the Grand Canyon, went back to Las Vegas for our 45th.
It is our 50th next year,and we plan on going back to Vegas.

Absolutely need to do what you want for the both of you. Quiet and intimate is more meaningful I believe.

Hope you have better luck than we did! We went to Cyprus in April and it snowed! Coldest I have ever been for the whole week. It's your celebration so do what makes you happy.

Yes it must be as you both wish it to be Zizi. We had a Blessing too in 2015, it was lovely, just perfect. We didn't tell many people as we have friends spread far and wide, family also and it seemed a bit selfish to expect them to all come up or even some of them from all over the country! My daughter read a passage from Corinthians which I had chosen as it was read at her wedding in 2005.

"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;

but the greatest of these is love".

Then we went for lunch and we have the memory and some photos. I hope it goes really well for you both.

Zizi, sounds lovely, you will have your special time with OH which sounds very romantic, then with your family who you would spend time with, then your holiday, what more can you want, go for it and do it your way, sounds perfect.....

[Daisy]

Zizi - that sounds perfect. As everyone one else has said, it is your anniversary and you must do what is meaningful for the two of you. We celebrate our 50th in July and will probably just have a meal for the immediate family. As soon as you start making it a 'party' you risk upsetting people who don't get invited, and I wouldn't want to do that, plus our generation of OH's family are mostly in North Wales so it starts to get too complicated. I shall be very happy to have a relaxed meal with our nearest and dearest.

Elisi - I read the Corinthians passage at DS1's wedding.
