It's my 4th wedding anniversary and...

[Defrump]

I love my darling husband and he has done all the right things- beautiful card and flowers
I just miss my parents so much
They would have thrown us a big party
Mum passed 10 years ago, Dad just after we got married
My in-laws don't see us as married and never acknowledge anything not even our wedding day
I love my husband and I feel bad for feeling sad
So pls give me some ideas on how to spend today so I'm not in a funk

Congratulations on your 4th wedding anniversary 🎉💕💐 I’m sure the last thing your dear mum would want is for you to feel sad. So lovely that your husband got you flowers and chocolates. How about a romantic meal for this evening. Do you have a favourite restaurant? Or you could cook a special meal. Or arrange a small get together with any couples your close to. Even just an evening curled up on the sofa together - sharing the chocolates!

Try to think of your wedding anniversary as a celebration between you and your husband. it isn't really a family thing. That may help you change this day into something happy and just for you and DH.

It's hard on those special dates. I also lost both my parents (about 15 years ago). I find lighting a candle helps. I also very much always think about what they would want and they would want us to be happy. They sound like they were really fun people and you must really miss all the socialising with them.

Light a candle, raise a glass and smile at the memories. Happy wedding anniversary! P.S. Why not book a weekend away next year?

Yes you're right, I should focus on what I have
I've been out for a walk and will bake a cake for later x
