With our ten year anniversary nearing and our renewal of vows ceremony pushed back to September, I’ve had time to start thinking about how we will celebrate our anniversary together.
I’m taking Big Daddy away for 3 days alone. We need it. Being married to a Road Warrior is not easy and when you throw in homeschooling, co-ops, writing, moving, and 4 kids it is that much harder (but not impossible) to stay connected as a couple.
Big Daddy sort of took the wind out of my sails when he announced that there would be no gifts. I mean, really? No gift for 10 years together?
I looked up what the traditional wedding gift was for 10 years of marriage and I found out it was: Tin. Or, if you want to be modern its: aluminum.
I don’t know about you but I’m thinking that the least Big Daddy could do is get me a Costco size roll of aluminum foil for our modern 10-year wedding anniversary.
Unless of course he wanted to be alternative…then it’s diamonds.
enjoyed it? please share >

Wedding Vow renewal: Part 2
Do I have to be in the Mood?
Tin??? Who makes up these things anyway?
Where are you going for your trip? We won't be together for our anniversary this year bc I will already be back in the US. We are going to celebrate early and hopefully in another country!
Could you imagine if he got you one of those huge aluminum foil things, though? This big box, all wrapped up…and then that's what it is!!! LOL
Enjoy your time away.
I hoped for diamonds too on my tenth (last year) I got a house though so can't complain! Where are you planning on getting remarried?? September 25th I'm already booked with a wedding in Bastrop. Haha I hope not that date!! I'm excited for you! It's so romantic!
David and I don't normally buy gifts for each other. Not for b-days or even Christmas. And our anniversary gift is usually a trip together sans kids.
But for our 10th anniversary, I told him ahead of time that I would be disappointed if I didn't get something diamond. So we shopped together and I found the perfect diamond ring for my right hand. It's neither too big nor too small and has a bit of a vintage feel to it. It's something I could see handing down to my kids one day… or not.
I took my husband away for a surprise trip for our 10th. Of course, that was quite a few years ago!
}How funny! I guess you need to buy him something big made of tin! Where are you all going for your 3 day getaway?
Ha.
We just celebrated 10 years of marriage recently, too. I got a photography workshop.
Umm… there's metal in my camera, right?
He's getting an iPad. That's one impressive pile of TIN.
