Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds News: Couple Celebrate First Anniversary at All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary on Monday with family and friends.
The couple, who wed at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., on Sept. 9 last year, were spotted in Savannah, Ga. where they stopped for lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room.
"They were absolutely darling," Marcia Thompson, owner of the historic, all-you-can-eat restaurant, told PEOPLE. "I asked them what they were doing in Savannah, and she said it was their anniversary and they had never been able to get in the restaurant before. The line wasn't too terribly long today."
The couple, along with about six others, ate southern favorites as fried chicken, homemade biscuits, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, meatloaf and butter beans.
"Nobody made a fuss over them," Thompson said. "I know the other people sitting at the table knew who they were, but they didn't say anything to them about who they were and that was nice. I thanked [the other diners] for that."
The couple wed at Boone Hall Plantation, which appeared prominently in 2004's The Notebook. (It doubled as the Hamilton's beach house, according to IMDB.)
As for the evening's hush-hush ceremony, guests included Lively's good friend Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine), who performed during the reception, which took place in a white tent overlooking the water near the plantation's Cotton Docks. A deejay also spun tunes, and a cake was driven down from Virginia for the occasion.
Lively and Reynolds currently live in Bedford, N.Y., where they bought a home last year.
