Our First Anniversary- Part II

On the evening of our first wedding anniversary, we celebrated with a quiet dinner at home. As tradition dictates, we ate the top of our wedding cake (no, not the whole thing) which was actually still quite yummy.

A year ago, it looked like this....



But now it looks more like this.



Thanks very much to Karen and Mark for keeping it safe and frozen solid for several months.



my masterful cake cutting skills



Finally- we get to have some wedding cake! And for anyone who remembers a certain cake-on-the-face incident... yeah, I got my revenge. (No pics, sorry)

Thanks to everyone who sent us sweet anniversary cards - it was very thoughtful and they are on display in our home.



The celebration continued on Saturday night. We went to Marcel's for an incredible Anniversary/ David's Birthday dinner. This restaurant remains one of our absolute favorite places, and our night was filled with delicious food, incredible wines and of course, amazing service.


Celebrating at Marcels

We drank a 1986 Château Climens with our first and last courses, and a 1995 Domaine du Pégaü Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée with our middle courses. Domaine du Pégau was one of the wineries we visited on our honeymoon, and sharing this bottle really brought us back to that time.



Our waiter was so nice- the overall experience at Marcels is truly first rate and made our evening very special. They made this plate for us at the end of the night!
