Five years ago today I awoke to the sound of rain dancing on the rooftop.
I got in the car with my mom and we went to Trader Joe’s in search of the perfect Calla Lillies.
I had Mexican for lunch. Including a giant blue margarita.
I naively handed over tiny silk flowers and a photo I’d printed off the internet to a hairdresser that I’d met the first time that very afternoon.
Five years ago today I was the bride in a sunset ceremony.
I held hands with my daughters, as they walked me down the aisle.
I melted when my husband-to-be was moved to tears as he attempted to recite the vows he’d written.
I gave my heart to my best friend.
Five years ago today I made the best decision I’ve made in a long, long time.
And today, five years later, I am so very thankful I did.
Happy Anniversary Naka.
Lovewa.
Best Friend.
All the time in the World. Still.

Beautiful. It sounds like you had the most lovely wedding–I’d love to see photos (hint, hint).
I love that you had a blue margarita beforehand. I had a mimosa (okay, three) before my wedding and had so many compliments on what a calm bride I was. Ha!

Great picture.
My name is Audrey and I was blessed to meet your wonderful mother in Denver CO. We worked together for a short time, and became really close. She invited me to your webpage, and I find it so uplifting. From time to time I will be on my laptop, and like to see such interesting stories and its so positively done. Thanks for making my day. What a beautiful family you have been blessed with. And such a caring person that Michelle is, I see where that comes into play. Audrey, just a viewer
