So Spoilt

It was our 20th wedding anniversary on the 6th of February this year and I was very spoilt!! John bought me this beautiful ring (the three diamond one) to go with the solitaire that he bought me for our 10th anniversary!!
I made John this special box which contains all the cards, letters and special mementos we have given each other over the past twenty years. It's a bit hard to see in the photo because it's a bit blurry, but there are three photos on the front. One is our engagement photo, the next one is a wedding photo and then the last one was taken last year. The words on the front are the lyrics to a song that my niece sang at our wedding called "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg. It has always been one of my favourite songs because the words are just so perfect.

Longer than there's been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than thereve been stars up in the heavens
Ive been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.

Ill bring fires in the winters
Youll send showers in the springs
Well fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
Ill be in love with you.

Longer than thereve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than thereve been stars up in the heavens
Ive been in love with you
I am in love with you.
