"I am very honored to be a part of ya’lls most important day."

Hello!!! I’m Thuy Chau, one of Natalie’s bridesmaids. I am a diagnostic medical sonographer livin in Arlington, Texas with the love of my life, Tigger (my dog) . On weekends, I help my parents run a grocery store in some foreign part of Fort Worth. That's all.

Natalie and I met the summer of 2004. Initially, I thought she looked like the gothic emo types. She always wore black and had pitch black hair. Well, she did have that awkward blonde patch of hair at the top of her head. She was quiet and reserved at first until she got a taste of that liquor. Everything tasted good to her. It all started with Irish flags then Flaming Dr. Peppers and lastly Grey Goose chilled. Natalie was always down for whatever. We started our weekends on a Thursday and ended on a Monday. If I remember correctly, I think she quit her job at Bank One because it interfered with her partying. We became good friends in a short span of time. Now that I think about it, I don’t think me and Nat have ever had a serious sober conversation that summer. That was a summer to definitely remember because it seemed like that summer was never ending. I lived in Saint Louis, MO at the time. Needless to say, every time I came back, it was "Summer of '04" all over again. There was Monday night bowling...DRUNK, Timesquare/Potluck at Phong’s...DRUNK, doing somersaults in the grass...DRUNK, late night dinners/breakfast at Denny’s with our favorite waitress, Jackie...DRUNK, and our first strip club experience (I can’t go into detail because this is a family oriented website. Ha ha ha)...DRUNK. Oh, did I forget to mention the countless nights of dancing. I mean dancing to where your limbs were sore the next day. We seriously danced like no one was looking. We only hoped no one was looking because it’s pretty embarrassing to dance the way we did. That’s just to name a few of our good times. There was never a dull moment with Nat. Oh, let me remind you. This was all before she was even legal to drink. Yes, she’s a wild child. As she got older, she became wiser. Not everything tasted good anymore. She just stuck to the clear stuff. Instead of getting drunk and acting a fool, we got drunk and watched other people act like fools. Don’t get me wrong, Natalie’s not an alcoholic. I do have memories of her that don't involve alcohol, but these are just a few of my fondest memories.

Unfortunately, I’ve never gotten a chance to meet Anthony. I do know one thing; Natalie is completely head over heels in love with Anthony. When she talks about him, she has this big cheesy smile on her face. The smile is literally from ear to ear. If there was such thing as a "perfect someone", that would be her perfect 10. She’s so fond of his knowledge as well as his personality. She’s never had one complaint about him. She speaks of him proudly. I’ve never seen her this happy. So he’s got to be doing something right for the girl to be smiling so much. So, I guess I approve of you, Anthony. I kid, I kid. I can see why he would want to put a ball and chain on Natalie. What’s not to love about her besides the way she dances *pops chest pops chest*. Teehee. In all seriousness, congrats to the both of you and I am very honored to be a part of ya’lls most important day.
