Hi everyone,
I'm now officially a Mrs! :) Hero Material and I got married on January 4th. It was supposed to rain, but the weather was perfect during the ceremony and reception.
I still can't believe that my brother and Hero Material's best friend felt sick before the wedding. They were going to take pictures! My brother was so sick, the hospital gave him an IV the day before the wedding. Thank God he recovered fast.
I'll post more stories and photos as soon as I get them from photographers (studio, bro & Hero Material's best friend), but here are a few:
The hotel lobby —
This is the Atrium where we got married. This photo was taken when it was still empty. The virgin road is made of ivory faux marble (superbly-polished…!).
This is my bouquet after the reception. It looked so fresh and dewy earlier in the day, and I wish I'd been able to take a picture of it then, but was too busy.
BTW — Hibiya Kaden created my bouquet and everything else I needed (flower-wise) for the wedding. I highly recommend their service if you ever need a florist in Japan. They worked within my budget, and though they never showed me the bouquet until the day of the wedding, it was just perfect. Their florist (who took my order and worked with my so-so Japanese) came to our reception to make sure that everything was fine and to congratulate us on our happy occasion.

More to come soon…! :) (I have Kyoto pictures to share as well.)
How was your new year celebration?

Jennifer, Antonia, Natasha – Thank you! *hugs*
Bettie – Thank you! Hero Material lost weight from the stress up to the wedding (I tend to retain water and bloat up when I’m stressed), but we’re sooo happy that everything went fine on the W-day. :)
Jeannie – Thank you. It was all the awesome people at our wedding venue. They really exceeded all my expectations.
