UPDATE: We are now successfully married. This page remains for historical interest only. We finished the last few cranes while eating breakfast with our family after our wedding rehearsal, the morning we were wed. The 1000th crane completed had the words "Friends and Family" across it's back.
Since Anami and I became engaged, we've been asked many times when we were going to get married. For a long time, we refused to set a date, wanting time to enjoy our engagement. We were folding paper cranes, and saying that we'd set a date when we were finished with that. It's been almost a year, though, since we became engaged, and since we started the crane project, we've become impatient.
That's why we've decided to set a date for the 5th of July, 2003. We're going to be married in Bloomington, Indiana, at the Beck Chapel on the campus of Indiana University. We haven't given up on the cranes, though.
Anami read someplace that if you fold 1,000 Origami cranes, you get a wish. I read that you ensure a long, peaceful life. Either way, it sounds pretty good. So we're learning Origami together, and folding cranes. We plan to amass 1,000 cranes before the day we wed. It's a tough challenge, but we feel equal to the task.
This is the Internet Crane Counter. So far, we're up to:
1001
