One year ago, on this date, we had a pretty awesome Chewish wedding.
In the last 364 days, we bought a house and moved in together after almost fifteen years of long-distance dating; one of us started an exhausting medical residency, while the other had on-again, off-again relationship with a Ph.D. from hell; our families celebrated weddings and reconciliations and survived difficult illnesses and hospitalizations…
With so many changes and crises, it’s been a challenging year in so many ways. But somehow we laugh… a lot. And even when there are tears, we manage not to feel alone.
We’re not always capable of being our most charming selves with one another. But somehow we love each other, even when there are occasions when we might not like each other.
One year ago, on this date, we had a pretty awesome Chewish wedding. But somehow even if that day had sucked, what’s important now is that we have a pretty good Chewish marriage.
Because that’s really what matters, right?
Happy anniversary to my husband! And happy anniversary to all the other 3/28/09 couples! One year down, a lifetime more to go…
Congratulations on your anniversary! Did you freeze your cake for a yummy one year dessert? it sounds like you as a couple have been through a lot in the past year and have weathered it beautifully!
Aw congrats, Cocoa-you were always one of my faves! (We hit a year in June-I can hardly believe it!)
Wow… So sweet! Congratulations! Hope you’ll have more happy years together!
Happy Anniversary Hot Cocoas! To a lifetime of rain, sunshine, and flowers! Cheers!
Every time I look at your pictures, I get a big lump in my throat and a huge grin. You guys are so awesome, for real.
Happy Anniversary, HC. 
congrats, happy anniversary. your post made me smile a lot. i hear the first year is a pretty hard one, and it seems like y’all were thrown a lot of curveballs, but how great to know you stand not alone when those curveballs are thrown at you! many blessings!
Aw, thanks you guys! How lucky we are to be celebrating in a big community of friends.
@ktisthatbees: We only had cupcakes at the wedding, so no year-old cake for us. But we are eating a lot of matzoh for passover, which sort of tastes like year-old cake!
Congratulations! Happy anniversary! Time flies SO fast! Seems like yesterday!

I am obsessed with NPR, the Food Network, paper, dance shows, Anthropologie, post-structuralist theory, Weddingbee!, "The Office," and celebrity gossip. When not procrastinating from my dissertation, I spend time catering to Jellyby, our overly anxious shih tzu, and getting to know Mr. Hot Cocoa. We have only been dating for fifteen years, so it's like I'm in love with a stranger! From the East Coast, we are planning a Jewish-Chinese Extravaganza in L.A., where we both grew up.
