Our very first trip together was a road trip to San Antonio for Mr. E’s birthday in 2007. It was a special trip for us, which is why we will be heading back there for our minimoon after the wedding. During that trip I saw how much I had touched Mr. E’s life and knew how much he made my life better.

Our first full day started with a free breakfast at the hotel, followed by a cruise down the river.

After the river cruise we decided to venture out to the market square.

With the city map from the hotel in hand, we headed out, and after getting lost once or twice (I stink with directions, which is why one of the best Christmas presents ever was a GPS for my car from Brother Elephant), we finally arrived. The market area is full of crafts, and one of the first stops we made was to a stand that would create a wooden sign out of your names for about $10. I really wanted one, and Mr. E was sweet enough to buy it for me. The seller said it would be about an hour to finish (there was a long line of orders in front of ours), which would give us enough time to check out the rest of the market area and head back to pick it up.

After checking out all of the little stands and the “mall” area, we killed some time by watching a children’s dance school performance. They were too cute!

We headed back after an hour, but they still weren’t done, so we had to kill even more time. Another 30 minutes, and ours was finally finished! We picked blue and green for our names—see, we loved those colors even back then!

We will be placing this on our sweetheart table for the wedding to add a little personal décor.

How will you decorate your sweetheart table?
