Me & Mine – August

This August was mine and Mr F’s 5th wedding anniversary. I cannot believe it has been five years already actually but in that time we have had two little girls, moved house and changed jobs a few times- life is very different.

We got married at Sopwell House in St Albans and within their grounds is a pond with a little red bridge over it. On our wedding day we quite a few shots taken on the bridge and over the last few years we have gone back to recreate those shots. We have the photos up in a frame and they act as a timeline of our married life.

The first of course is of the two of us on our wedding day, where it all began.

We returned for our first anniversary, I was 8 months pregnant with Little G. I so wish I had my camera back then but I had to make do with a phone camera.

first anniversary

Our third anniversary and Little G was just over 18 months old and I am 6 months pregnant with LJ. Unfortunately it was dusk when this was taken, again on my phone and so I have had to zoom in and lighten it to make it a viable photo. Terrible quality but a captured moment- and one of the only photos of the three of us.

third anniversary

So 2015 was our five year anniversary and we have both of our girls with us. Five years ago I married my best friend and didn’t know what was waiting for us. But today I have my little family and I love them all so much. Was raining unfortunately so a bit of a funny haze on the photos- one day I will get a clear shot of us all!!

Had to throw this one in for good measure- look at LJ’s face!! What a pair of monkeys!!

girls on the bridge

We plan to go back for our 10 year anniversary next and the girls will be old enough to stand by our sides. I would love to go back with grand-children one day too, just to complete the set.
