Journaling:
While going through our wedding photos, we came across
this one and we couldn't help but wonder why we were
both laughing. We racked our brains trying to remember
what was happening but we couldn't recall. Finally, we
sat down and watched our wedding video to figure it
out. Towards the end of our reception party, Ariel got
up to thank everyone. In all seriousness, he said,
"We'd like to thank everyone for coming to my birthday
party." As soon as we realized what he said, we all
burst out laughing.
