Fifth

Happy 5th Anniversary Matt! We made it to the first milestone anniversary! Time truly flies when you're having fun and we are certainly having fun! With our amazing three year old and another baby on the way, we are living the best life together! Thank you for all your love and being the best husband and father. I love you to the moon and back!

For our fifth anniversary, we skipped gifts and asked my Aunt Dee to take some photos of the two of us and with Anthony. Since it rained on our actual anniversary, we were only able to do a few, so she's going to finish up our shoot another day.

To celebrate, during vacation we went out to dinner at the Lobster House in Cape May, NJ while my parents watched Anthony. It was an amazing seafood dinner with a great view of one of the harbors!

Fourth

Happy Anniversary Mr. Denver! Four wonderful years have gone by and I couldn't be happier! We have a wonderful little two-year-old and beautiful new house and each other! Thank you for being the best husband and living this life with me. I love you!

Tonight we got to go to dinner together at Chapel Grille while Anthony's daycare teacher, Miss Lauren, watched him for us! We had some delicious food and desserts and a couple hours to ourselves while we exchanged our cards.

Third

Happy Anniversary Matt! These three years have flown by, but I couldn't imagine my life with anyone but you. Anthony and I are so lucky to have you! I love you!

Matt got me the most beautiful ring for our three year anniversary!

In return, I'm going to get Matt's watch band fixed (three years is leather)!

On June 20, Matt and I went to Vanity while Alicia and Dennis watched Anthony. He was a little upset, but did well and Matt and I got to enjoy a dinner out.

Second

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband and the father of my son, Matt! I love you so much!

We celebrated over the course of two days. On our actually anniversary, June 16, we went (very) low-key and got Taco Bell for dinner. We brought it to Roger Williams Park where we went for a walk with Anthony.

On June 27 we went to dinner at Vanity Supper Club while Cristina watched Anthony for us. We had a gift certificate from September of 2012 that we had been meaning to use and finally did! It was a nice night and the dinner was delicious. Here's the other picture from that night: our dessert!

First

Happy Anniversary to my one and only, Matt!

This weekend Matt and I celebrated our first anniversary. On Friday night we went to dinner at the Capital Grille here in Providence. We went there on our first anniversary when we were dating, so I thought it would be nice to go back for our first wedding anniversary. A month or so ago, we got a card and gift card from one of Matt's college friends. They had lived together their junior year and he was finally closing the account that they had used to pay bills for their house that year. We were expecting some money from him from that account, but when we got the card, it also had a gift card to the Capital Grille! He and two other friends who had all attended the wedding, had pitched in for the gift card for our anniversary! It was perfect, not to mention completely unexpected! We had a great dinner and, thanks to one of my friends from dance who works there, we got quite spoiled! We had their usual for anniversaries (rose petals on the table, free glass of champagne, free sample of an appetizer) plus two free desserts and a set of their champagne glasses to take home!

Yesterday morning we watched our wedding video for the first time! It was beautiful and so much fun to relive the day. Not to mention, we both got to see things we weren't able to the first time! I had a hair appointment (just for a trim) but it was weird being there the same day as I was last year. Later, Matt and I went to the Biltmore Spa for a couple's massage (a gift from my parents) and then we left to go to see our parents.

We didn't do much today, since it was Father's Day we focused more on that. But when we got back home, we had some of our cake from the wedding and a glass of champagne (in our new glasses)! It was a wonderful weekend and we'll be celebrating again shortly with the Cheesecake Factory gift card we got from Matt's parents!

Today I Do

Today I marry my best friend, Matthew Michael Denver, and we begin our lives together! At 2:00 pm I will walk down the aisle and will become Mrs. Denver from here on.

Thanks to everyone that helped and got us this far!

And to my wonderful husband, I love you more today than ever before and that love will always grow.

Love,
Ashley

Friday

1 day

It's tomorrow!

As for today, the girls and I have nail appointments at 2 (Jess, Shannon, Cris, and I at 1 for pedicures) at Metro Nails. We're going to go to the hotel and check in after that and get ready for the rehearsal at 4 30 at the chapel. After that we're going to dinner at Waterplace Restaurant at 6. Afterwards, we're going to McCormick & Schmidt's for drinks, which is in the bottom of the Biltmore.

However, the first thing that I need to do is get new shoes for Hannah since her feet grow at the rate of bamboo.

Jess, Cris, and I did the out of town bags this morning as well as the escort cards! We are all set for tomorrow!!
