I set up a beautiful table to celebrate the occasion. The menu included; won ton soup, Chinese chicken salad, kung pao chicken, beef broccoli, fried rice and for dessert, chocolate cake. These are all family favorites. Take out from our favorite Chinese food restaurant.
These cute bowls are from Marshalls, they have a black mark on them that says Palm
Wine cork to rest our chop sticks
Cio-Cio San, Madame Butterfly, joined us in this special occasion
I used red ribbon run down the length of the table for a pop of color
I got the chargers at Party City Store
I love the detail on the chargers, they are so perfect for my taste

ReplyDeleteI've been married for 21 years and i agree, the secret to a good loving marriage is to 'love and respect each other' and never go to bed on an argument lol. (Passed down from my mother!!)
Happy Anniversary.
