So this is probably going to be my last wedding blog post for a while, since finals are coming up and I should lay off the wedding stuff for awhile...but I wanted to post about this because I think it's adorable.
Apparently, our wedding anniversary will be the same as my parents'! My mom told me that after I booked the venue and she found out what date we chose.
I know what you must be thinking - you didn't know your parents wedding anniversary? Well the thing is, my parents have 2 wedding anniversaries - the civil wedding, done at city hall, and the religious ceremony (which was on Sept 5). I knew the date of their civil wedding, but not the religious one.
I have included a couple photos of them on their civil wedding day. I love love these pictures of them in front of city hall. How about my mom's stylish white hat? She looks so classy! My mom never had the poofy white dress because she wore the Romanian national costume to the religious ceremony, so these are the only photos I've seen of my parents on their wedding day. Don't they look beautiful?
We are thinking of doing a city hall wedding before the wedding too. There's just something about getting married at the city hall/a courthouse (maybe it's the lawyer in me) but it just feels more selfish and private, like you are just doing this for yourself, as adults, making it legal. I think it's utterly romantic. And when people ask me if I got that idea from the Sex and the City movie, I cringe a little. Don't get me wrong, I loved SJP's white suit and blue shoes (and might even copy that!) but the idea of getting married at city hall has always appealed to me, thanks to my parents and their beautiful wedding photos.
