One Year Of Being Engaged, Two Years Of Being Together

AstroBanana met for dinner this evening at the Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge & Restaurant for an early celebration ahead of their first anniversary of being engaged and second anniversary of being together. The actual date is 23 March, which is tomorrow. Two years ago, she said yes. One year ago, she *erm* also said yes :P

The dinner crowd at Royal Copenhagen was virtually non-existent. Maybe most people opted to go there for high tea today since it was a Sunday. Eric Banana ordered a soup of the day, which was nothing extraordinary. For the main course, he had a Norwegian Fish and Chips while Astro Girl went for the Crispy Oven Roast Chicken.

After a satisfying main course, they decided to share a dessert - Warm Baked Chocolate Explosion. Eric Banana would say it's on par with the Valrhona Warm Chocolate Cake at Bakerzin.

AstroBanana's plan to have coffee and tea with their dessert was nearly derailed by a technical problem with the machine that dispenses hot water. What, no coffee and tea?! Thankfully, the problem was resolved just as AstroBanana were finishing their dessert so they managed to get their caffeine fix after all.

So why did Eric Banana decide to meet Astro Girl today instead of tomorrow? Well, it was because Astro Girl's present arrived at his doorstep today, courtesy of DHL's excellent service:

It is a Kate Spade Tarrytown Charlotte boarskin leather over-the-shoulder tote bag. It has an open top with an interior centre zip divider, and sports custom woven noel jacquard lining, 14-karat light gold-plated hardware and light gold floating noel signature. Dark chocolate in colour, it measures 12.5"x 13.3" x 3.9".

And yes, Astro Girl loves her new bag :)

The impossibly thrifty but exceedingly considerate Astro Girl felt that it was too expensive for an anniversary present though so she decided that it will count as an anniversary cum birthday present. Eric Banana is a lucky man! He also got his early birthday present yesterday - a nice wallet from Braun Buffel (which matches the card case he already has):
