Awwwww, this is the sweetest anniversary present!! I never knew all of that information about the & symbol. Super interesting! I can't believe you were making this post the whole time I was watching women's gymnastics, haha. I love you, too, Jonathan, and can't wait to have many, many anniversaries with you!!
