Timeless
what I vividly remember the most so clearly is my bride-to-be walking down the aisle looking the most beautiful I had I ever seen her.

Today is our 16th Wedding Anniversary. Lori and I are returning to celebrate at the special place where we tied the knot - the Island of Kauai.

All these years later, I have so many amazing memories of our beautiful wedding and reception there. Eighty of our closest family, friends and colleagues made it to our destination wedding from the mainland.

My long time mentor and great friend Phil Jones was the Officiant and provider of all the lodging. The good and drinks were amazing. The dance floor was jumping off. But…….what I vividly remember the most so clearly is my bride-to-be walking down the aisle looking the most beautiful I had I ever seen her.

I’m so grateful that Lori has kept me around all these years, that we are still very much in love and have built such a joyful life together. Lori Lochtefeld

For our Anniversary it would be awesome to hear from some of you that attended our wedding in Kauai and any memories you are willing to share from that day in the comments below.

Mahalo!

Key lesson: A lasting marriage is built on gratitude for the ordinary years.
