One Month Ago (yesterday)

It's hard to believe that a month has passed since we said "I do".

Although June 12 wasn't going to be nearly as much fun as May 12, we decided to celebrate our month-iversary anyhow. 

Unfortunately a hectic day at work and bad traffic meant a home-cooked meal was out of the question.

Chinese food and champagne (courtesy of friend D) it is! 

We were most excited about enjoying a slice of our delicious red velvet wedding cake, though.

I know most couples enjoy their wedding cake after 12 months, but we tried something different! It was suggested that we should slice our cake and enjoy some each month for our first year of marriage. Made sense...I mean, who wouldn't want to eat cake once a month?

So, after dinner, we giddily removed our cake slice from the freezer and got ready to dig in.

Yeah...this piece broke a little

It was terrible.

We didn't even get in a full bite between the two of us...in fact, we worried the cream cheese might have gone bad. [insert sad face]

Not ones to be deterred, we headed to the supermarket for a substitute treat!

Not quite the same...but we'll take it

With the remainder of our cake in the trash, it'll be Ben & Jerry again next month...or maybe a fresh red velvet cupcake.

How did you celebrate your 1 month anniversary? And has anyone actually enjoyed their wedding cake after the wedding?

Sorry for the honeymoon post interruption...the tips post will go up this week!
