So, after Okinawa there were lots of fun things this summer. Many people came and left at work and I have a bunch of new co-peons. I went to my first GNO at Fujimamas, saw the Dark Knight, went to a few beer gardens, cut off my hair, played tennis on the hottest freaking day of the summer, celebrated a few birthdays, and celebrated a few weddings.
Last weekend was my cousin Midori's wedding, to longtime beau Takarin. The ceremony was held at Itsukushima Jinja, a world heritage site, on Miyajima, in her hometown of Hiroshima. It was surreal and beautiful.
The room where the ceremony took place was open to the public.
Holy world heritage site, batman.
The bride and groom's geta. Ghet-to!
All the fam was there. I seriously have gorgeous cousins.
Among the guests were James Bond and the Pink Panther.
So was our favorite little person, Yurine.
Bride and groom began in traditional kimonos.
Then later changed to Prince Charming and Ariel.
We took a boat to and from Miyajima and the hotel.
It was SUPER FUN.
So was the reception.
Ai and I sang A Whole New World, and Takarin serenaded Midori with a Kobukuro song. He took piano lessons just for this.
Madoka and Jesse documented the whole thing on video and film. I don't think they sat down for more than 5 minutes the whole day. Otsukaresamadesu.
And here are the sisters.
That should be all the weddings for this year. But you never know, there are still 3 months left of 2008 and Las Vegas is just a plane ride away.
Cheers peeps!

I have produced (with perhaps a bit of help from Pop) two people fabulous with words.
You guys can really put things into words.
It is pure joy to read you, both of you.
So funny, much of it, too....
Wow -- you can get married *there*?! I know Shinto shrines hold weddings, but at a national heritage site is a pretty excellent place to have a wedding. That must have been an excellent time.
