Happy anniversary - or is it?

Ahubby , bless his soul, gave me a wedding anniversary gift at 5.30 am before heading off to the airport. A silver package wrapped with a ribbon containing a sterling silver Georg Jensen locket. It was a contemporary design in the shape of half a heart. When the locket is open the full heart is revealed. Eleven years of wedded bliss and despite all the best intentions Ahubby still can't get the date right!

Not that it is really his fault. Even I get confused ( and not because of the brain tumour!). After checking the wedding certificate Ahubby declared the official day is tomorrow 27th September. I guess he gets bonus points for being early and having a gift.

The confusion arises because we eloped in New York after attending a friend's wonderful 3 day wedding in Monaco. We both knew it was a Friday and the day before the AFL Grand Final. In early December that year we held what we called a wedding celebration in the scenic grounds and restaurant at Delgany Portsea . It was there we announced to surprised family and friends that we had been already married nearly 3 months earlier.
