Unforgettable

It's our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! :)

In celebration, I'd like to share some good 'ol memories from the "big day"...

One year ago: 

My favorite shot of the day:

If we had a fireplace, I'd hang this one above it. CAL has some great architecture for photo ops, my veil was caught by a gentle breeze, and Mr. Woo just looks GQ. Gorgeous shot, Yong.

For the slideshow, you can click HERE. Our photographer was extra-nice and put it together for us as a gift. :)


Our super MCs had guests wrote haikus for us. They were gathered and are still sitting in a bag, waiting to be added to our guest book. Here are a few selections from our friends and family:

I will write a poem

For you, Cyrus and Jane Woo

Dang I'm out of space

Let me remind you that haikus are a Japanese-style of poetry in which there are 3 lines - the first and last having 5 syllables while the second has 7 - which make beautiful imagery and/or metaphors. Let us proceed...

Roses are red HAH

Violets are Bue HAH HAH

Cyrus & Jane are cool!

Yup, make it work.

This one I was impressed with because it, like the others, came from a male:

Rise, the new day comes

the Radiance fills our Hearts

Don't forget to smile

I'm telling you, these guys are so ready to romance a lady friend. Ladies, start dropping those hankies!

A kiss, tis so sweet

It fades swiftly from the lips

Like the ebbing tide.

This one was anonymous, but it looks like male handwriting (Is that safe to say?):

Under unseen stars

Your ship sails strong in love's hold,

Grace your compass-guide.

From couples:

Korean Chinese.

Together like ham and cheese.

Make marriage sandwich.

The night is still young

Sanctify the marriage bed.

Have lots of babies! :)

Jane and Cyrus Woo

Now the man has a helper

God is so faithful!

Not a haiku but I like it, nonetheless:

The Old Woman Who Lived in a shoe

There was a young couple,

played a game with their shoes

'Cuz on this special day,

they both became Woos.

Asked myriad questions,

they learned many things

Among them that marriage

is more than just rings.

And this person was so compelled that he (with the help of a she) wrote us three matching haikus:

Cyrus, don't get fat

Even if the food tastes good

Cyrus, don't get fat

Jane, do not get chubs

Don't be tempted by the grub

Jane, do not get chubs

You guys don't get plump

Go to exercise and jump

You guys don't get plump

Very heartfelt indeed. And with that inspiration, I'm off to get "chubs" by sleeping instead of exercising.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, POOKI! (heart)

Pooki and Boo Woo
Treasured times from our journey
By God's grace, with love

Looking forward to this next year being each others' mirror! 
Lord, help us - we're going to need it! :)

Any one-year haikus?
