Japanese Weddidng

Congratulations to A & U who had their Japanese style wedding today.My Japanese card, the expected gift amount from a friend is 30,000 yen (more than $300USD). Tradition is the gift amount must be an odd number of bills so that it isn't divisible between the bride and groomM and I with A in her Wedding Kimono, wig and white painted face, after the Shinto ceremony during which photos were prohibited.Work friends in 'Unmarried Woman's' Kimonos, they were responsible for collecting gifts at the reception.My favorite course of the six course meal, Scallops. Ayumi made me tear up by being so considerate as to substitute, in advance, my beef course with Scallops.So beautiful!
