2010-01-11 Ritsuko's wedding

On January 11th, 2010, my elder sister Ritsuko and Tomohiro were married at Geihinkan which was built to welcome distinguished guests from all over the world to World Expo in 1970's. Kadomatsu, a pair of traditional Japanese decorations of the New Year, were placed in front of the building, which emitted an air of festivity in the air.




When we walked in the building, the reception table was set to the left.




On the table, we found the cats we made!!! (We finished sewing the cats and applied the last touch a few hours before the wedding... Phew!)



As we waited for the rehearsal to start, Zach and I took a walk around the building. Everything was neatly arranged, and the light coming though the glass ceiling was beautiful. Ritsuko, who has been known as "雨女(Pronunciation: ame-onna, Translation: rain woman / rain bringer)" did not bring rain but beautiful light.



Members of the wedding choir seemed very busy, running in and out of the chapel. But as soon as they noticed us taking photos, they tried to hide themselves or ran past us looking very apologetic. So we decided to wander off to where we wouldn't be obstacles of anyone...

Soon Ritsuko in gorgeous wedding dress showed up with a little nervous-looking Tomohiro. Ritsuko looked radiant!





My bridesmaids and I made bouquets for my wedding. So I know how difficult it is to arrange flowers! The bouquet she requested for the day was simply beautiful! The colors of white, pink and green, and the flowing line of them was very gentle just like Ristuko.




30 minutes before the ceremony! Ohh, Tomohiro looks nervous!



Ritsuko is gracefully walking down the aisle with her arm around Dad's.














We all cried seeing Ritsuko so happy...


Our Zach didn't doze off this time! Good job!












Tomohiro is(?) or acts like(?) a sweet brat.

When Ritsuko and Tomohiro went to change their dresses, they requested escorts from the guests. Guess whom Tomohiro requested???


A new couple was born today!!!



























To my dear sister Ritsuko,

"りっちゃん、今日はとても綺麗だったよ!りっちゃんの幸せ一杯の笑顔が見れて私も涙、涙でした。しっかり者でオタクでやんちゃな旦那と生まれてくる赤ちゃんと一緒に幸せな家庭を築いてください!"
