Once there was a short boy who fell in love with a tall girl. He somehow managed to convince her that she loved him too. And then they kissed... and the rest is history. On August 10, 2012, ten years after they tied the knot, the short boy decided to surprise his beautiful life-partner with a wedding anniversary flash mob in downtown Davis, CA. At the end of it all, the couple renewed their vows and everyone participated in a cash mob to raise funds for the arts (the tall girl is owner and artist of ABC-Davis Photography Art). It was a celebration to remember!
