I can remember this day as if it was only yesterday…
On this day last year it was the morning of my wedding. There were No butterflies, just full of excitement as I was about to marry my best friend.
We have been together for eight years and lived together for 6 of them. Many people have asked ‘so what was the point in getting married?‘ Or even more popular ‘does it feel any different?‘. In truth, no it feels very much the same, but in so many ways it does feel different. I can’t explain what these differences are, but they are there. Maybe its that sense of security, belonging and the fact that we have a future together.
One of the crucial things that this year has taught me is that me and Alfie are complete opposites, which one would presume would lead to a catastrophe. However, in what I lack Alfie makes up for in endless amounts. I think this is the reason why we just seem to work. We’re a team made up of 2 very different halves with different interests, but we have the same ambitions and life long goals.
Now on the same day a year later we are on our belated honeymoon sipping cocktails, celebrating everything that we have achieved in our first year of marriage, looking ahead to what infinity may bring our way.
Do you believe that opposites attract?
What wedding anniversary are you celebrating this year? How do you mark the occasion?
awwh this is so sweet! I am so happy for you and you look an absolute stunner in your wedding dress! You remind me a bit of Alexandra Burke/ Leona Lewis! So pretty!

Happy anniversary!
You looked so pretty and happy on your wedding day.
James and I have been together 6.5 years and we keep getting asked when we’re going to get married, we want to but it just hasn’t been the right time. We’re living together now which is great.
Oh how sweet- how lovely to relive those memories too.
I think to a degree opposites attract, but I think for a relationship to work then you do need to have the same values. I think having some opposites can mean you make a stronger partnership, but you have to be a united front also, if that makes sense.
Have an amazing honeymoon.
Happy anniversary Jemma! Hope you guys are having the best time celebrating! Your wedding looks absolutely stunning.
Congrats, hope you are having a great trip! Me and Nick have been together for 10 years this month, we’ll have to celebrate in style!
What lovely pictures from your wedding day! Happy anniversary!
Dan and I are both very different too. We have some similarities of course, but generally I think our differences help us to compliment and support each other along the way. We shall be celebrating our seven year ‘dating anniversary’ in March and then getting married in August next year. I can’t wait! 🙂
