Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend, ours was fantastic! We had our usually Friday night sushi date at our favorite restaurant, Sakura. Saturday we took a couple of naps and made yummy steak dinners on our newly purchased grill. We wanted a grill that offered the option to use both propane and charcoal and we found the perfect one at Lowe’s! We also drank our bottle of Cabernet Franc from the Lake Anna Winery that we purchased a few weeks ago at the Great Grapes Wine and Food Festival! It was deliciously paired if I do say so myself!
This weekend we also did something that we’ve been waiting to do for months; we lit our wish lantern and set it free! We thought this would be a great wedding favor for our guests to do with us, so we wanted to do a test run with one to see what it was like. The lantern worked just as specified, I purchased it from a seller on Amazon. It was one of the larger ones, as you can see in the picture. I wrote two different wishes on it and then, as soon as we lit the lighter paper it filled up with air and off it went. What I wasn’t expecting was how much it meant to send our wishes into the air; it really felt like we were sending them up to the heavens to come true. We watched it for a few minutes until it disappeared and it was such a rewarding evening!
I think we are set on having them serve as our wedding favors in October. We both agreed that it would be something that guests would love to participate in and never forget.
