I am mindly obsessed with this look for men - it's so strong and timeless. You are a beauty in this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-and-run--my-japanese-wedding-pic/page/2#post-611215 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:57:55 +0000 Mochi 611215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thank you, everyone. We got married in Nagoya, Japan (about two hours from Tokyo by bullet train; hubs's family is from there). A few weeks later we had a very informal ceremony/party back in the States. </p> <p>Anne, you are right that Japanese weddings can be over-the-top, with the bride changing three times or more! Actually, it's very common. In my case, our wedding was very downsized--my family didn't even attend--and I think all I wore was the kimono. </p> <p>Ironkurtin, heh, I am a shortie, as is my husband. I can't remember why we rented this kimono, and neither could hubs. Unfortunately my mother-in-law passed on a few years back so there's no way of asking her. Fruitful, I'm not disappointed about it, just suddenly confused now that I realize it is not a traditional wedding kimono. Tomoko-san's kimono is spectacular, but again, that would be the standard for weddings (which are huge extravaganzas in Japan, almost always). </p> <p>I just let my husband's family take over the whole thing and do whatever they wanted. I was not a player--I had a very passive role in it, actually. I had more pressing things on my mind (my daughter was born three months later--that's when my parents flew in to meet her). So they have common themes, but all Japanese weddings are NOT alike. Tomoko-san and Brian's wedding looks like it was incredibly beautiful and affirming of friendship, love and the joy in their lives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-and-run--my-japanese-wedding-pic/page/2#post-611166 Thu, 03 May 2012 07:55:50 +0000 Fruitful 611166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, you and your husband are beautiful. Thankyou for sharing.</p> <p>Do I detect a sadness at realising you didn't have the kimono you as a bride should have been given? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-and-run--my-japanese-wedding-pic/page/2#post-611108 Thu, 03 May 2012 05:04:56 +0000 AJ 611108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what a FAB wedding photo!

Wow! Thank you for sharing photos of your wedding. As I mentioned on Angie's thread, one of my friends brought a beautiful kimono similar to yours back after a year of teaching English in Japan, and back in the states she wore it for her wedding gown, and looked just lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-and-run--my-japanese-wedding-pic/page/2#post-611066 Thu, 03 May 2012 04:17:53 +0000 MsMary 611066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I'll admit I was curious as soon as you mentioned your Japanese wedding in your comment on the blog post. You look so lovely --- fresh and pretty as a cherry blossom! And I'm intrigued to note from your husband's strong, dramatic outfit that across cultures, the men seem to dress almost in a structured 'uniform' and let the women go mad with the creativity and innovation part of the equation while they hold to tradition that 'suits' all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-and-run--my-japanese-wedding-pic#post-610395 Wed, 02 May 2012 17:06:43 +0000 Claudia 610395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

Maybe she couldn't find a long-sleeve kimono for your height? When I was in Japan all the proportions of the clothing were off on my frame, so maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-and-run--my-japanese-wedding-pic#post-610373 Wed, 02 May 2012 16:39:42 +0000 Sveta 610373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, what a great picture!
