Today we celebrated
our first wedding anniversary. Despite our Eurodisney trip being our
anniversary gift to each other, I was very surprised and excited to receive a
voucher for a High Tea at The Ritz from James.
We dressed up (James
had to wear a jacket and tie) and caught the tube into Green Park. We had a few
strange looks; as it isn’t often James and I more dressed up than those around
us!
The Ritz was beautiful
on the inside, with grand hallways and elegant furnishings. There were
beautiful decorations on the walls, and jewellery for sale also. When we were seated we were presented
with some Easter chocolates (inside a cardboard top hat!) and a glass of
champagne. They brought out a
three tiered stand, with sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and pastries.
All very yummy and we even had seconds (hey, it’s a once in a life time
opportunity). I had a selection of teas to choose from, which was brought out
in a silver teapot- quite possibly the only time in my life I will drink from
such a flash teapot!
What topped it off for
us was the Pianist. She was able to play any song without a song
sheet-impressive. We were able to request a song, so we requested our wedding
dance song-You raise me up, and also Your song, by Elton John and were pleased
that both were played.
It was such a lovely
experience and we had a great 1st anniversary.
