Paul and Yumi's wedding


I'm told the headdress that Yumi is wearing is called a Tsunokakushi (literal translation - horns hiding device).  This is so if you're marrying a demon you won't know it.

Incidentally, while watching television, one of the few words I could understand was "ro-man-chik-ku".  Far from the implication that traditional Japan did not need a word for the concept, I thought the traditional Shinto ceremony was very romantic indeed.  The shrine was beautiful, as were the happy couple.




(Yes, I'm wearing a suit)


Paul's father in law made him a set of shuriken as a wedding gift.  Clearly he understands Paul's taste.



Pictures do not do Paul and Yumi's dance justice.  They rehearsed for two months and knocked em dead, so to speak.
