TEN Years of Us.

TEN Years of Us.

Well gang, it’s a big day for the Sunbeams! Today we will celebrate 10 years of dating. I know, we can hardly believe it too. It’s a great number to end our years of dating as we move on to wedding anniversaries. Thanks to all our friends and family for supporting us as we struggled with love, long distance and just plain growing up. Here’s a real quick look back at the many years of us.

We thought we should be doing something epic to mark this day, but it’s a weekday and Mr. Sunbeam has been swamped with work (I’m talking coming home in the early AM busy). So tonight we’re taking ourselves out to one our favorite restaurants to celebrate occasions, TownHall. I tried to dig up some old pics of us celebrating there…

It’s always embarrassing to pull out a camera at a nice restaurant, so that’s all I could find! We’ll definitely be snapping some tonight, though. I won’t try to claim it was 10 years of perfection, but it was certainly 10 years of love. In two months we’re going all in and tying the knot!

Love you Mr. Sunbeam, Happy 10th Anniversary!

Have you and your FI been together for the long term? What’s your history?

Congratulations!! We were also together for 10 years almost to the day, when we got married. I am so glad we were together for so long before we made it “official”. I think being together for that long made us super prepared for marriage, and made it much easier for us to deal with the ups and downs. May you be as happy in your marriage as we have been!

You guys are so beautiful together!
seriously - that pic of you two on the east coast is frame worthy, and makes me think of little kiddies in your future fondly imagining what her parents were like way back when.
so beautiful!

Wow, 10 years is impressive! Congrats! I love that photo of you two on the beach! You’re an adorable couple. Although my husband and I have known each other for 13 years, we didn’t get together until Year 9 of our friendship. Talk about slow movers…;)

We have been together for 8 years and we will be almost 9 when we get married. Long distance, family struggles and growing up make our relationship strong. can’t wait to marry my Prince.
Congratulations to 10 years! All the best

Wow, it’s fun to see how much you have changed since you first met. We will be one month shy of 9 years when we get married. When I look back at pictures of when we first met, not only do we look so young, but it reminds me of how far we have come!
Enjoy your celebration!

We were together 9.5 years by the time we got married last september. I had always joked with him that there was no way that we would be dating for 10 years before we got married (Since it seemed to take forever to get engaged). He sure cut it close but made it under the 10 year mark!
Congratulations to you!
I also 2nd Mrs. W - I really feel that being together so long makes it much easier to deal with ups and downs, because at some point in those 10 years, there must have been a few tougher spots, and I did feel super prepared for marriage.

Wow, you two looked like babies in the earlier pictures! We’ve been together for a total of 6 years, so we’ve got nothing on you. After you are married are you still going to celebrate your dating anniversary?
