Anniversaries and the rehearsal dinner menu

Monday was our dating and engagement anniversary, and I think it's safe to say we both felt amazing as we looked back to where we've been, and forward to where we're going.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from early on in our relationship...

And from our engagement a year ago...

My surprise walking in the door to find our families there to congratulate us

So how did we celebrate the anniversary/ies?

On Monday morning I said to Dave, "How did we celebrate our anniversary last year?"  Without a pause he said, "Got engaged!"  In my defense, I hadn't had my coffee...


In the evening, we returned to the restaurant where we had our first date - Shalimar, an Indian restaurant.  They will also be catering our rehearsal dinner, so we used the opportunity to do a tasting.  The menu will include veggie pakoras, naan, Aloo Gobi, mango ice cream, and several other yummy dishes.

It's an interesting thing having a long engagement.  We celebrated August 21, 2009 as our "negative one" anniversary, but I can't wait until we can officially celebrate that day as our wedding day!
