Friday was our sixth-month wedding anniversary. A small milestone, for sure, but a milestone nonetheless! I was pleasantly surprised when I came home from work to this:
Our little bistro table had been pulled into the middle of the living room (we don’t have an eat-in kitchen or dining room, so the corner of our living room doubles as a dining “room”); the curtains were drawn to keep out the early evening sun, and some of the cut glass votives from our wedding lit up the room with a warm glow. The save-the-date mix CD that we had put together for our guests was playing throughout the apartment as my wonderful husband finished up dinner.
Mr. Cupcake cooked up a yummy meal of some delicious melt-in-your-mouth pork, couscous, and broccoli. We’re both following Weight Watchers to lose a few post-wedding pounds, so he made sure to not mess up our points for the day. 
Then came dessert: a Weight Watchers lemon cake (these things are my favorite!), topped off with one of the “love is sweet” cake flags from our wedding. He’s very resourceful!
It was so sweet and adorable and thoughtful. I love little unexpected surprises, and I’m looking forward to many more surprise-filled milestones in our marriage!
How do you and your partner celebrate milestones (big or small)?

Congratulations! This is so cute, and I love that he kept your diet in mind. Very hard when celebrating!
That’s ridiculously adorable…so adorable that I’m forwarding that post to my fiance for inspiration. Oh, and btw…I knew you were a girl after my own heart…LOVE the Anthropologie placemats (I have them in orange and green).
omg that’s SO CUTE! I hope my FH gets the hint when I send him this post on how to behave post “I Do”
@Miss Bruschetta and @rapunzl13: the placemats were a shower gift from SIL Cupcake, who is a fellow Anthro lover! I am obsessed with the color teal so it’s no surprise that she chose these for me 
Oh my gosh, could he BE any cuter? Nope! That cake looks delicious, too.
SO thoughtful–I love all the little details he considered!
Awe that is so sweet I love that you had 100 cake too, so cute!
OMG, how adorable! I think we were like “ohh hey happy 6 months” a few days after the fact. Hahaha! Well, I can’t wait to see what you get for your 1 year if that’s how you guys celebrate 6 months! Anyway, he did a wonderful job with all the details — I’m incredibly impressed!
That is so sweet! I love that he took the item from your weddign to celebrate!

I’m so bad at remembering dates, if I don’t have them on a calendar, I’m screwed! (And my coworker borrowed and then “lost” my dates calendar, so forget about birthdays…literally!) Your DH is SOOOO sweet!! I love the whole setup, he is too adorable!!
What a sweetheart Mr. Cupcake is! He’s a keeper, for sure

About Me: Mr. Cupcake and I hit it off at a Halloween party and immediately began a long-distance relationship. After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.
