Our 13th Wedding Anniversary

Thirteen years ago today, Greg and I flew to the island of Kauai and got married. It wasn't without a few problems. First we were delayed getting out of LAX, because the flight was overbooked, and no one would give up their seat. So, then we had to run to catch our flight to Kauai out of Honolulu. We made it, but our luggage didn't. We had our wedding clothes, but I didn't have my make up or shoes. Oh boy. Luckily, they had hourly flights, so the luggage came in on the next flight. While waiting for the luggage we called the wedding license office, and they had a message from the lady performing our ceremony that the hairstylist who was supposed to do my hair wasn't going to make it. Well, we headed over to the office, got our license, and they were nice enough to direct us to a hair salon. We showed up, and the hairstylist was so nice, he fit me in, and even turned away other customers to take care of me. Okay, that taken care of, we headed to the far north shore to where we were getting married on a private estate in the shadow of Bali Hai. It started to rain on the drive, but at that point we didn't realized it rained everyday in Hawaii, and it lasted all of 5 minutes. We found the estate, and we dressed in a little cottage by a brook. We had our ceremony, then took our pictures. When we arrived at our hotel, there was a big party in the outside bar for couples celebrating there 50th + wedding anniversaries. We were still in our wedding clothes, so they we're so excited for us. It was really special. We said we would go back for out 5th anniversary, but of course, we had 7 month old at that point. And for our 10th, we had an 8 month old. So, maybe for our 15th!
