Third Anniversary Recap

10th Oct 2013

When we got married, MC and I made a pact that we would make a conscious effort to always celebrate our wedding anniversary – either with a romantic and more traditional night in (especially when falling on a week night) or a romantic trip for two. We also agreed to alternate organising the anniversary celebrations.

Three years in and we are doing pretty well. This year was my turn and it proved to be rather tricky because almost all our weekends in September and October were booked with other events, trips and plans and MC has been so hectic at work during the week.  So I had to clever – somewhere local but still amazing. Cue one of our favourite hotels, right on our doorstep…
The Oyster Box Hotel

This hotel is simply stunning and a luxurious 5 star getaway, right on our doorstep. Throw in a couples massage, room service, buffet breakfast, photo shoot by the pool and a romantic dinner – and you have yourself one fabulous anniversary!

I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

Our very “pink” room

Looking forward to many more anniversary celebrations
