Kiyoto &           Koyuki

Sunday, November 2nd, 2003 Castle Numazu Hotel Numazu, Shizuoka, Japan

The bride and groom cutting the cake in traditional Shinto wedding clothes.

Groom's mother, Sheryll and Ross from New Zealand, Kiyoto and Koyuki, me, groom's father (Mr Hara) and Kyoko (our translator for the night...)

This wedding was really something special, and I am so grateful I was invited to attend.  It meant a lot to me, and I think it meant a lot to Mr. Hara and his son, Kiyoto. (:  I hope, in the future, they both with be able to attend my own wedding. (: In the larger picture, the bride and groom are wearing the third (and final) outfits they wore throughout the evening.  It's a really gorgeous dress, isn't it?  And I love his tuxedo!  I had so much fun... thanks everyone!!

Here are a few more pictures from the wedding.  These two were just after the ceremony, when Kiyoto and Koyuki rang a bell together. Afterwards, anyone who wanted could go up and take pictures with them. (: Below was just before the reception started, after the couple changed out of the Western clothes.  This is a picture of them and their families.  And below, those are the presents I got from them.  Weird, huh? (:
