Day 6: Things I'll Never Forget About Lori

How Beautiful She Looked Walking Down The Aisle

On October 6th, 2002, Lori and I were wed in a small white church in Nevada City, California. It was early Autumn, the sky was blue with puffy white clouds, and both of us were as happy as we would ever again be during this lifetime.

While I had been smitten by Lori's good looks from the very first time I saw her––making espresso drinks behind the counter at Coffee Works––on our wedding day, standing nervously at the altar, I couldn't believe the angel I saw walking down the aisle to forever join her life with mine.

Lori, of course, was stunningly beautiful in both body and spirit––something I would learn over and over again throughout our five years of marriage––but on our wedding day she simply took my breath away... I couldn't fathom that a creature as exquisite as she would choose to spend her life with a man as unextraordinary as myself.

Of course, in the end Lori and I would discover, through each other, that we both deserved all the love in the world... and who better to supply that love than us.
