Well, today is our first anniversary!

A bride and groom kiss outdoors, surrounded by joyful bridesmaids in blue dresses and groomsmen celebrating their first anniversary with bouquets and bright smiles.

And unfortunately our first year of marriage is over (hence the first year blog).. so I guess this is the end of this blog!

Just joking!

I’m not going anywhere, expect unto my second year of marriage with Ryan :-) Are we officially no longer newlyweds?

A bride in a white dress approaches her groom in a black suit from behind, near a river and surrounded by trees—capturing the joy of their first anniversary in this serene, grassy outdoor setting during daylight.

Some people have been asking.. what are you going to call your blog after your first year of marriage?

A groom in a black suit kisses the forehead of his bride in a white dress as they stand outdoors in a grassy field, capturing a tender moment perfect for their first anniversary. The bride looks directly at the camera, radiating joy.

Well, after we celebrate our first anniversary, there will always be new firsts for us to experience together.. our first 2nd year of marriage (clever, I know!), first time buying a home, first time welcoming a baby into the world, first time getting ‘real’ jobs, etc. I am really, really blessed that I get to share these experiences with my best friend.

A bride and groom share a kiss on a winding dirt road surrounded by green grass and trees, capturing the perfect moment to remember on their first anniversary.

It will be fun to look back on our first year of marriage and see what made the blog and what didn’t, what recipes we loved, what embarrassing stories I shared. But ultimately it will remind me of Ryan and how much we learned about each other.

A bride and groom, smiling and holding hands, walk outside down an aisle as guests watch and blow bubbles—capturing a joyful moment they’ll cherish on their first anniversary. Trees and a crowd of people are visible in the background.

So to my best friend, #1 taste tester, and chemistry guru, I love you and happy 1st anniversary!

  4. Happy anniversary! Our weddings were exactly two weeks apart! We both made it through the first year of marriage successfully. Well I guess I still have two more weeks but it’s looking like it’s going to happen. I hope you’re doing something fun for your first anniversary. Your pictures are beautiful.
