Nikole and Arun had settled on February partly to avoid sticky summer heat on the day they eloped. And one of the things I remember best about that day — our first wedding of 2012 — was how Nikole told us that, as she’d driven to her friend’s salon to get her hair and makeup done, an announcer on the radio had enthused, “Well, it’s going to feel like summer today!”

And it did — but it didn’t matter. Nikole and Arun, I don’t know if couples come any happier than you two were on your wedding day! We hope you’re celebrating big time today, and we know your baby girl is celebrating right along with you! We can’t wait to meet her when she arrives, and we are so happy for all three of you!~ Laura + Danny
