I was headed to Japan with my husband to not-so-secretly elope (November '04). And actually, eloping is probably the wrong word, since it wasn't a secret. We're now in the process of planning a wedding, one that will actually have guests and a party, so that's why I've titled this photo "Waiting" because it's been over a year that we've been married but haven't yet finished with the wedding planning and celebrations! The trip to Japan was truly amazing and that's why I continue to dip into my archives and pull out photos from time to time.

(You may have noticed that this photo isn't a true black and white, but it is surprisingly monochrome and I don't have any other black and whites to post here at the moment.)
