The funniest part was when we discovered that, without knowing it, we had both gotten each other the same thing. I had ordered my cake for him (an 8 in. single white cake with lemon cream filling and buttercream frosting and the words "Happy 5th Anniversary" with 6-24-06 written below it) earlier in the week over the phone. Then, Thursday night he finished up work a little early and told me that he and Olivia were going to run a little errand. Since he wouldn't tell me where he was going, I was guessing that maybe he was getting me a little something.
When he came home and we were talking over dinner, I asked him if he had anything (read: present) he needed to bring in from the car. He said no. I was surprised and asked why not. He told me he had ordered something. This set off my suspicions that just maybe he had had the same idea as me. After a lot more dancing around the subject and asking each other some questions, we finally discovered what we had done and swapped details about what kinds of cakes we had gotten. The one he ordered for me was just very slightly different than the one I had ordered for him - a 6 in. single white cake with lemon cream filling and buttercream frosting with the words "Happy Anniversary" and some pink flowers on top.
Since we had figured out the surprise before we were actually supposed to pick up the cakes, Yusaku asked if I thought we should cancel one of them (because, come on, who really needs two cakes?), but I said no, it made for a funny story and good memory and we could always share some of the extra. So, here are pictures of the two cakes. I'll definitely never forget this anniversary! :)
