13 years ago Monday...

Eric pretended he had a craving for a sausage croissant on Monday so he could slip out and buy me a dozen red roses. I'd already told him he didn't need to, but when he didn't come back as quickly as usual I knew what he was up to. *swoon* I love him so much!

I posted a detailed account of our wedding a few years ago in this post. It was such a magical day. Everything that went wrong made it better. :)

We got married in a redwood cathedral. I always feel so connected to my higher power in the redwoods. The age of the mother tree of a redwood circle as large as this one meant it was alive and mature when Jesus walked the earth. In a redwood grove, I can feel the history the trees lived through and it fills me with awe more than any man-made building ever could. Happily, Eric agreed and we had a formal, traditional wedding in the wilds of a nature preserve. We had our reception in the attached picnic area. The grove is visible in the reception shot below.

	Bride of Frankenstein Eric's favorite picture of me from that day!
	Coming down the hill to the grove Our ringbearer was my nephew Chris who was 10 years old and adorable in tails that matched Eric's tux.
	Listening to my cousin sing The Wedding Song We're slightly off center due to somebody's huge face that was on the right edge of the snapshot.
	Occasional showers kept the dust down It never rains in California in the summer. When it does rain, we rarely get thunderstorms. We had surprise thunderstorms rolling through.
	I love this picture of my sister. Eric's parents are visible on either side of her hat.
	In our going away outfits Eric chose a final song for us to sing while dressed like this... The Beatles' Revolution. I'm not sure why. lol
