Speaking of cool ideas, here's one for anniversaries

[pegkerr]

Here's something cool Rob and I doing for our decade anniversaries. We get our anniversary picture taken every year. On our tenth anniversary, we had an additional picture taken of us holding an 11 x 17" picture of the two of us on our wedding day. On our twentieth anniversary, we will hold up that picture, and so on, every ten years. I saw an amazing picture of a couple that did this every decade for fifty years. It was so cool--seeing the two of them and how they aged together, the pictures they were holding like a tunnel back through time.

that is SO cute. *grin*

Cool! I'll try to remember that for the next 8 years. *g*

(Hope you'll have the opportunity to do it too, love.)

It wasn't just cute, but genuinely moving: it's the most amazing way to represent a couple's entire life together in a single photograph.

Oh! Neat. Our 11th is coming up ...

How does it..... *slaps forehead* OH. I thought each photograph would just be of the one before - I forgot that THAT one would contain the previous one too. Wow, you're right. It's like collapsing a time tunnel. =)

That is such a beautiful idea. I wish we had known of it at the beginning of our relationship. We just had our 15th anniversary (of being together) and have been married five years. I definitely want to start doing this. I suppose it's never too late to start! Thank you for this. :-)

There's no reason why you can't do it at five anniversary increments!

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Get it done now, and you'll still be at the 10 year increment!

[chamisa.livejournal.com]

You're absolutely right. :-)

And I just realized recently that in 2010 it will be the 20th anniversary of us getting together, and the 10th anniversary of us getting married. That would be an excellent photo op time.

Wow, 2010. I can't believe I'm talking about a time not too far off in the future, not an Arthur C. Clarke novel. It still seem so sci-fi and off in the distant future.

That is really, really cool.
