Wedding of my Sweet Girl!!!

LOVELY WEDDING ♡♡♡
Several days ago, my husband and I attended the wedding of my lovely student.  It sure is quite an honor to be invited the happy occasion.  She used to study with me when she were a university student.  And was coming to me again for some months to study a bit more before the marriage. You may recognize her through my blog, she kindly allowed me to post about her bringing us freshly baked bread or having soba lunch together.
She had been working hard for long time to prepare for it; consulting and arranging for everything with hotel and so on.  As her bridegroom and she were living a bit far away,  she talked and e-mail a lot with him.  In Japan at wedding,  usually a delicious lunch and a present called a "hikidemono" will be provided or served for all the guests.  She chose them by herself, even differnt gift for the diffrent guest.  I deeply admire her attitude not to leave up to her parents or future husband. Wonderful work my sweet girl!!!

May the coming years, fill your lives with love and happiness.

  3. Hallo my sweet friend. How touching that she wanted you at her wedding. You must be very special to her! A wedding is always such a lovely day - so much happiness around. (Here I wish I could do little hearts like you do!). The photos were delightul and I really liked the first one at the Altar. That was fun, that you won a gift of halloween goodies. As you say, very timely! Interesting to see that you also celebrate Halloween in Japan. Hugs to you.

  14. Dear Orchid

    She is beautiful and made a 'movie-star' bride! What a stunning wedding dress and gorgeous "going-away" dress! I love the traditions you shared of Japanese weddings (reading a thank you letter, providing each guest with a gift). It sounds as though she had a lot of work to do, but it paid off handsomely, as it seems her wedding day was a tremendous success. I'm so glad you got to go along, too! How very special and it shows how much she values you, both as her mentor and friend. Blessings to both Bride and Groom. May they enjoy a long and happy life together!

    Big hug xoxo
