25th Wedding Anniversary
Justin and I have only been married two years. Insha’allah, in 23 years, we can go to where Justin proposed to celebrate our anniversary, like my parents just celebrated their 25th anniversary where my Dad proposed.
25 ish years ago parents took a trip to the Grand Canyon. My Dad was planning to “pop the question” at some point during the trip as they visited various viewpoints. Well, he was so nervous that he proposed at the first overlook they came to, Mather Point.

This January, for their 25th Anniversary, my Dad surprised my Mom by announcing he had made reservations at El Tovar Hotel, a beautiful lodge on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. A nice layer of snow made the Grand Canyon and Mather Point particularly beautiful for their visit.

On this 25th Anniversary trip they also stopped at a Pizza joint in Flagstaff where they ate pizza and carved their names into the wall on their proposal trip. They couldn’t find their names on the wall 25 years later, but they ate pizza there just the same!

How cute! I love it!
