Dear Eric,

    I'm so excited to be celebrating our first year of marriage! It feels like yesterday that we exchanged our wedding vows at Middleham Falls on Dominica! I will forever remember the month of September 2013. We signed our marriage license on the first of September on St Thomas and a couple days later hopped on a small airplane to Dominica where we rented a little apartment in Trafalgar Village for the rest of the month. We spent the first few days of our trip exploring and looking for the perfect spot to exchange our wedding vows, I remember being worried that I wouldn't be able to hear you over the sound of the waterfall and that we would have to share our sacred wedding location with other hikers, but everything about our wedding was perfect. Our wedding wasn't traditional, it was just the two of us, we wrote our own vows, and hiked up into the mountain to stand next to a waterfall, and everything about our day a year later is still with me, I remember it so clearly and adore it. We spent the rest of the month hiking, exploring, soaking in hot natural springs, and loving all that Dominica is. I feel so lucky to have these memories and to have shared every second with you.

I love you,

Sage
