Haven’t updated my blog in a while. Still going to see festivals and other things and there is a pile of pictures i should process and upload. Maybe i will get to it one day – but not today and not this month ;-) !

This week was the wedding of some “old” friends from New Zealand and i thought it’s maybe a good idea to get started again getting into the habit of blogging a bit every now and then.  Satoko (the bride), my wife and me all visited the same language school in New Zealand back in March 2000 – So that’s like over 11 years ago where we all met. About 7 years ago she met her husband Malcolm … it took them a while, but they finally decided to tie the knot and get married for good. Luckily for us they decided to hold the wedding in Japan – so my wife and I got to see it with our own eyes (and camera).

The wedding was held in the beautiful Heian Jingu Shrine (the very same shrine that is also responsible for holding the Jidai Matsuri) in Kyoto. The weather was perfect, with plenty of sun (although rain started a bit while we had our early dinner/late lunch) and the scenery was perfect too with still nice blooming cherry blossom trees on the grounds. The whole event certainly brought a lot of good memories back about our own traditional Japanese Shinto style wedding. I wish Satoko and Malcolm all the best and hope they will enjoy their marriage the same as Itsuki and I do ;-) !

    wow….! what a lovely wedding …I was so much impressed by the beauty. All those Japanese customs and ceremonies have their most brilliant and noble ways in Kyoto I believe. Your wife Ituski-san is really beautiful in kimono. She should wear kimono more often to make you happy:)

      I keep telling her the same, Aoi ;-) … but putting on a kimono is a bit of work, so she won’t just do it without a good reason. A wedding is the perfect excuse for wearing such a thing, but the problem is that we are slowly running out of friends who are still looking to get married ;-/
