"Sembazuru"

The ancient practice of a man and woman folding 1,000 cranes for their wedding is called sembazuru. The tradition itself is called Tsuru wa sennen. The time and energy put into the thousand hand-folded origami cranes symbolized the patience and trust necessary to sustain a happy marriage. A couple who could weather the long, time intensive folding process together, supporting each other, talking with each other for weeks while taking on a challenging task was proving their ability to maintain a long term, content relationship.
I wonder how Eddie is going to feel when I tell him we HAVE to do this?! Better get a pizza and some beer to help win him over ;-) I am personally excited for this challenge, and it is so romantic... <3

I have a feeling that 1000 might turn into 100 :)
