Anniversary Journal. Romantic or cheesy?

Pinecohn, on August 1, 2017 at 1:25 PM Posted in Married Life 0 8

My hubby and I are approaching our first anniversary. For time, we are giving each other the gift of "recreating" our wedding day with the same food and a soundtrack of our big day.

For paper, I was thinking about getting personalized journals and creating a list of 5 questions that we will respond to every year on our anniversary, reflecting on the past year and eventually, all our years of marriage.

I feel like this could be a romantic tradition to start, and potentially a family heirloom that our children can have to read about the ups and down of our love story ( and maybe learn something!). I'm just not sure if my hubby will like it.

Have any of you ladies done this or heard of couples doing this?

    I'm doing something like this for our one year. I bought a nice journal that I write in daily for the firsts year of our marriage. I plan to give it to my husband on our anniversary and we can read an entry or two together each night. I also am taking the time to document on paper our entire HM day by day. I like the idea of the questions and might incorporate that too!

    I've been doing a little looking around online. I'm thinking along the lines of

    1) What has been the most rewarding part of our marriage this year?

    2) What has been the most challenging part of our marriage this year?

    3) What have you learned from your spouse this year?

    4) What do you love about your spouse?

    5) What is one thing you hope to accomplish as husband and wife next year?
