Marriage

Posted by: Rob

The missus and I are celebrating our first wedding anniversary today – yes, already! I look on the past year, and marvel at just how quickly it has whizzed past.

Memories

We got married at St Paul’s Church, Newbridge, followed by a wedding reception and evening reception at the Maes Manor Hotel in Blackwood. You can see the post I made just after the wedding here.

A year gone by

honeymoonSince getting hitched, we have been busy bees. After jetting off to Kenya on honeymoon, we returned to the UK and I resumed my training contract at RAD / South West London Law Centres while Rachel started her MSc in Deaf Studies at Bristol University. In January, I began a secondment at Hugh James Solicitors for five months.

We jetted off to Gran Canaria for a week in March, and we are very much looking forward to Christmas this year in Tenerife, with the in-laws.

Wonder what the next year will bring!

Cards don’t count! What about paper gifts?

First year anniversary = paper.
