It’s our 15 Year Vow Renewal! Let’s have a wedding... Finally!

Michael was awestruck the moment Lani walked into the room at her friend’s lake house. Up until that moment the most exciting part of his night was sharing a case of beer with his friend Tony. He fell head over heels for her (literally) down a hill that night. After a few short weeks of getting to know one another Michael left for Ranger school. Lani chose to wait for him and his return. After 6 months of school, many letters back and forth Michael returned to Fort Lewis and knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

It was supposed to be a quiet Friday night, but ended up being anything but. I didn't have any plans for the evening so Tony (groomsman) asked me to accompany him to a get-together that he was invited to. We didn't know anyone and at first it looked like it would be a lame and quiet night, but fate had other plans. Lani showed up a little late and stole all my attention. I couldn't look away. I spent the evening trying to impress her with my immaturity and my impressive bud-select drinking ability. Only the Lord knows why, but she didn't run away. We talked, laughed, and enjoyed each others company all night, literally, until the sun came up. I've spent every available moment with her since that night and have enjoyed every moment of it.
