Wedding Week: Celebrating Our Anniversary
It’s that time again—our third annual Wedding Week is here as we celebrate another anniversary this Wednesday. It’s amazing how quickly time goes by. Our DIY backyard wedding at Casa Petersik on 7.7.07 still feels like it happened yesterday, and each year gives us a reason to revisit the memories, projects, and traditions that grew out of that day.
Over the years we’ve shared a lot about our wedding and how it intersects with the projects and life at Young House Love. Past Wedding Weeks covered everything from our courtship and engagement to the honeymoon and the small DIY touches that made our day special. We’ve also written about the little ways we’ve celebrated anniversaries—from recreating our wedding meal to visiting the restaurant where we had our rehearsal dinner.
To keep things useful and interesting, here’s a concise recap of the kinds of wedding-related posts we’ve published so readers can find the projects and stories that matter most:
- Our big backyard wedding page with DIY details and planning notes
- A post about dyeing a wedding dress so it can be worn again
- A timeline of our relationship: how we met, fell in love, and got married
- The story of the proposal and the moments leading up to it
- Our honeymoon play-by-play, including highlights from Alaska
- A DIY shadow box project to preserve wedding mementos
- How we reimagined wedding beverages as hostess gifts
- Our anniversary traditions and why they matter to us
- A look at the place where we almost tied the knot before choosing our backyard
Because we’ve already covered a wide range of wedding topics in previous years, this Wedding Week focuses on fresh angles and practical ideas that resonate with readers whether you’re planning a wedding, celebrating an anniversary, or simply enjoy home-centered storytelling. Here’s what you can expect this week:
- A fun wedding-themed giveaway, open to engaged couples, newlyweds, and long-married folks alike
- A candid post about how we handle decorating disagreements and reach compromises
- A romantic bedroom mood board with styling tips for anyone updating their master suite
- A roundup of DIY home decor projects we created to commemorate special moments
- A look at the gifts we exchanged this year and the thoughts behind them
- An update on how we expanded our anniversary tradition and why we keep doing it
Some of this content is a bit more personal than the usual home improvement fare, but our relationship is an essential part of what inspires Young House Love. Sharing these stories feels natural because the projects, celebrations, and small rituals all feed into the spaces we create and the life we lead in our home.
Whether you’re here for the DIY tutorials, the wedding nostalgia, or the couple-of-a-household perspective, we hope this week’s posts spark ideas and bring a little warmth to your inbox. We’ll still be sharing practical home-related content alongside the love stories and anniversary reflections, so stay tuned for a mix of inspiration, how-tos, and heartfelt moments.
