Wedding!

On June 6, 2010, the beautiful Fumi joined the wonderful Mizushima family in a wedding at the Nezu shrine in Tokyo. The ceremony was traditional, and we were honored to be guests at this amazing event. The Nezu shrine was established more than 1900 years ago and was one of only three shrines to survive the WWIII bombings. The structures were built in 1705.

The ceremony included many traditional rituals, including tasting sake.

The food and drinks were amazing and so meticulously and beautifully presented in traditional Japanese style!
