They stood up at their reception. Together. Behind a blush and navy sweetheart table draped with lace linens and succulent flowers in the beautiful Four Seasons Scottsdale Troon North ballroom. He took the microphone from his best friend, who’d just given a testament to his character as a man. His bride, his new wife, was at his side. The intricate detailing in her white dress came alive when the light illuminated it. We can’t say the same about her smile, because things that are always shining don’t need extra illumination. They provide the all the brightness a room needs. He looked to his family on the left, and her family on the right. A hundred hearts hung on words he hadn’t even yet spoken. A hundred pairs of eyes welled up while they watched and waited.
Things that are always shining don’t need extra illumination.
Mai and PJ, where do we even begin? From the moment we met you for the first time, your infectious laughter and contagious joyfulness grabbed us… and never let go. Then, we went to The Grand Canyon together. And you brought that laughter and joyfulness, but this time dressed up in a tule skirt and red soles. And. It. Was. Epic. The hikers and tourists stopped and stared at you two longer than they did the real Wonder of the World. And then came your wedding. We didn’t think it could be better, but it was. It has been. Every time we’ve been with you. That, friends, says everything someone needs to know about who you are. We love you both to the Grand Canyon. And back.
