It started with drinks...

Remember how I told y'all Mikey and I shared our first kiss underneath an Arby's drive-thru (and were subsequently inseparable ever since)? Well, that sloppy, drunken make out sesh happened four years ago today. 

Let's go back to our life in Vegas, four years ago, when we couldn't get enough of driving around town listening to Jack Johnson while holding hands, and applying a sepia toned filter to almost all our pictures...

May 3, 2008: night of our first kiss

May or June 2008: we used to always split a 6 pack of beer & watch a movie

Sep 2008: club night. I saved him from getting hit by a car this night. 

Gosh, we've changed so much. Mostly for the better. For instance, Mikey no longer has those disgusting glasses. 

Does it mean that the fire is gone if we no longer roll around on oily concrete, sucking face like horny teenagers? ;)

3: the charmer

I'm really happy to know I haven't been boring y'all with all the mushy love stuff. I'm still in anniversary mode, so thanks for letting me play it out :)

Third Anniversary ~ aka two days ago

We wanted to try a new restaurant in Jersey since we're always so quick to head into New York for a romantic evening. Mikey went straight to the ultimate source for fine dining: his dad. My father-in-law suggested the Highlawn Pavilion or its fabulous food and million dollar view of New York City; we loved it. The gentleman seated next to us thought we were celebrating my birthday since we "look too young to be celebrating three years of marriage." We've gotten that a lot this week - I'll take it as a compliment. 

I enjoyed 3.5 glasses of champagne. Yummmm

Sorry for the (lack of) picture quality. This is after I clicked the "enhance" option on my mac. The lighting in these restaurants, as I'm sure y'all know, is really dim and romantical, so my phone couldn't put up a good fight. Lucky for me, Mikey finally found a new camera online and it's on its way now! 

I'm a sucker for a good filet mignon or fish, but this night I was in the mood for a hunk of beef. The filet was absolutely scrumptious and I ate every bite. Mikey's big steak had even more flavor...I stole several bites of his...without asking. For dessert I ordered 3 small variations of creme brulee and we were surprised when our waiter came out with candles on both of our dessert plates. There were even cute pieces of dark chocolate with "Happy Anniversary" inscribed on them. How thoughtful!

After dinner stroll around the pavilion. 

And here we are before we left the house earlier...

Mikey wore a handsome, plaid sports coat that used to be his dad's. He looked adorable.

I donned a pale pink floral trimmed dress w/grey heels, cardi & necklace. I love pink & grey together!

You can't tell in these pics, but my hair is as short as it was during our first anni. I was going bananas trying to style it before we went out. I cut it really short last week because it was just totally dead from having bleached it last year. I HATE short hair (on me), so I didn't want to wear it down this night. Thank God my hair grows as fast as weeds. 

Anywho, thanks for reading! Y'all have a lovely night. <3

Before I learned that my friend was going to be in town last week, I had initially planned to do all these cutsey posts leading up to my anniversary post from yesterday. Clearly I just didn't have the time between showing her around Jersey and New York. Today I want to share pictures from the first two anniversaries Mikey and I shared (just because I love reminiscing oh-so-much), and tomorrow I'll post about what we did yesterday. Cool? Cool. 

First Anniversary ~ 2010

Dinner at Yolie's Brazilian Steakhouse, Las Vegas

After dinner that night, Mikey and I drove to where we shared our first kiss. Don't laugh. It was at an Arby's drive-thru...we weren't even in our cars, or waiting to get Arby's food for that matter - we hate Arby's. We were sitting down talking, under the drive thru sign after it had closed for the night (there was a bar next door, that's why we were there). We went back for the first time since that kiss and shared another. 

Then we went home and took a bunch of pictures...

Outfit photos! And I wasn't even blogging at that time.

Second Anniversary ~ 2011

Thanks for the right picture Ashley

We actually celebrated two days for this one. The day before and going into our anniversary, we had a lovely (and always delicious) dinner at Il Cantinori in NYC, followed by midnight shots at Clash Bar with friends. Il Cantinori is my favorite restaurant in the world for the food, service (aka royal treatment since we're related to my father-in-law), and because of the celebrities that pop in and out while you eat. Well, not every single time, but enough. Unfort' Mikey and I didn't get a dinner picture that night, just the one of me enjoying my wine. 

On our actual anniversary day, we visited the Museum of Modern Art, walked around NYC and had lunch at Monster Sushi. It was a beautiful day and we had a lovely time.

And then we went home and did what? Why, took pictures of course!

Our 2nd year of marriage was 'two' much of a good thing. Get it? ;) 

I hope y'all enjoyed the trip down memory lane (again). 

Have a lovely night, friends. 

Heartsy Fartsy Anniversary post

Today is mine and Mikey's 3 year wedding anniversary! Before we head out to a romantical day of exaggerated I love you's and a million too many kisses, I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and share some pictures from our "big day" in Las Vegas. It was actually a very low key style wedding. We want to have a big to-do one in a few years. 
Definitely click on the pictures so you can see them b i g g e r. It works like magic. 

Getting ready at home...

The last three years have truly gone by in a beautiful blur of memories. Despite the lovey dovey pictures of us that I post on here, we argue like any other couple and I'm a major pain in his ass (I can admit it), but we really make each other happy and honestly bring out the best in one another. That's what matters. He makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world EVERY DAY. That's a fact. I thank God for giving me such a patient man. Lord knows, that's one of the main reasons this works! ;)

With love,

Roni
