We met on Halloween 2008 in college. We moved in together summer 2010 and I became pregnant that same week. I know it’s not very traditional Lao of me but yes, I had a shotgun wedding three months later. Our wedding date was September 25th, 2010 and it was a very quiet and intimate ceremony consisting of family and close friends. It screamed non-traditional right down to having cupcakes rather than a cake, a candy buffet and (gasp!) a pink dress. It wouldn’t have been very fitting to wear white when with child! It was the second-to-last weekend of nice weather for that year! It was planned in four weeks time and was so short notice that my future in-laws could not attend as they were living in North Carolina at that time. Here’s an ode to one year of being blissfully civilly wed. 😀

Happy Anniversary…. It is okay not to be so traditional. Whatever works for both of you guys.
BTW, cool bicycle rims on them cupcakes.
Aw, thanks! That means a lot to me for the anniversary wishes. Yeah, the bicycle cupcakes were really fun (and yummy!)
Love it!!
Thanks! It was a great day that day!
