I know, the world doesn't really need to know what Matt got me for our first anniversary. But for the 3 people who actually read this blog, he got me a snowflake pendant from Tiffany's.
And a bouquet centered around a 'glittering' rose. And a nice dinner at one of my favourite restaurants.
Looking back, it somehow amuses me... how things change when you get older. Until Matt, I never received anything in that blue box. I never bought myself anything from Tiffany's. I always thought it was something that was special as a gift. Somehow I had formed the impression that the feeling that goes through any girl as she opens the blue box to find out whats gifted within, is incomparable to anything else in the world and is an end in itself. That, and flowers and wine, make the perfect romantic night out. (What is romance anyway?)
But when I removed the necklace after our night out, and photographed this picture, I realised I like looking at the pendant not because it came in a blue box, or is from Tiffany's. Rather, I like how it will always bring to mind how we expended our chance to relive our first night as a couple - a good dinner, good talks and a night out at the Night Festival. I like how it signposts that special night to us, and how it gets me looking forward to our next year to come.
