I’ve been trying to find the right words to describe our anniversary day at Villa Sur Mer. I’ve been finding it really hard…

All of these beautiful memories and emotions keep coming back to me. I can’t think about that day without smiling…

There was a warm breeze stronger than usual on that day, it caused all of the curtains in the Villa to billow out around us… I just remember feeling that wind against my skin while laying in bed with Markus...

I remember drinking our first Mango Coladas and gazing at the lagoon pool… feeling so relaxed, so at peace…

I remember floating on a blue foam mattress in the lagoon pool, hearing the water rush over the rocks… the palm trees overhead rustling against eachother… I remember Markus coming up from under the water and smiling at me. He was so happy… The droplets of water dripping from his hair and off the tip of his nose..

We walked through the underground cave, Everytime we go through there, I feel awe when the dark cave opens up to the turquoise brightness of the sea. I sunbathed there and Markus swam…

Then we went to the main villa and went snorkelling together holding hands in the water and gazing at the fish below us…

I just remember feeling like the luckiest person in the world that day, I was deeply grateful for every single moment that we were experiencing…

Here is video footage from this day



At around 4 PM, we were laying together on our stomachs on the sunbed and gazing at this little hermit crab that was crawling around in Markus’s snorkel mask...

That’s when Markus said “Oh! We need to get changed! We have to go soon!”

“Where?”, I asked.

“I made special dinner reservations for our Anniversary”

Now I’m usually the person that plans our trips, books the hotels, flights, reservations… and Markus prefers to be the tail on the kite. So This was a change of pace for me.

I was really excited.

I’ll let Markus take it from here because he wants to describe the dinner. He’ll be updating tonight.

OMG! That video made me so happy just now. I think my heart just smiled!
Awesome video......the footage of the underground tunnel.....it's as amazing in real life as it has been in my dreams! Thanks for sharing
And the frame where Daisy is staring out at the water and the leave falls near you....that gave me the chills (in a good way) I don't know why, but that moment spoke to me real heavy like!

And the footage of you snorkeling hand and hand....gosh you guys....how do you do this to me? every single time? lol

I love this so much! Again.....so happy that you were able to experience this magical place on your anniversary!
