1001 wedding cranes

i have taken upon the monumentous task of folding 1000 origami cranes for our wedding. according to japanese lore, folding 1,000 origami cranes is truly a labor of love. tradition holds that the bride who finishes this task before her wedding day will be rewarded with a good and happy marriage. (the groom folds the 1001th. one!?!) the crane also mates for life and is said to live for one thousand years, ensuring the couple’s good fortune. the crane will also grant one wish.

i began my quest yesterday with my first crane.

isn't she lovely?

i'm feeling pretty confident i have the technique down. my flock is quite colorful so far.

i will keep you blog readers updated on my progress.

party! party! party!

our engagement party is fast approaching! invitations will be in the mail next week. mark your calendars for the night of june 7th!
