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!
