Our wedding finally took place last Saturday in Meiji
Jingu in Tokyo, after more than 6 months of preparation, in a very traditional
Shinto way.
Everything went absolutely well, from the weather, which scared me a little a
few days before to the finest details of Hiroen.
I was a bit nervous about the ceremony a few days before, especially with what I had to read out loud in Japanese, but I had rehearsed so many times and the kimono was so tight that there was no room for anxiety on that day!
As I said, everything went very well, it was fantastic to have all our
friends, relatives and family around us that day.
My family had met Eiko's a few days before so the atmosphere was already very
good.
On the other hand, it was a bit tiresome, with the kimono to wear (especially for Eiko who had to lift hers all the time), changing clothes often, going out for the pictures, etc.
It was definitely worth it, this has to be one of the most beautiful days of our life but we were so tired after that day that the following days were just spending time at home trying to recover!
One regret I have is obviously not to have been able to take the pictures myself, but fortunately, my brother Alain and Fred backed me up and gave me all their pictures.
The one displayed here was taken by my brother during the preparation in the court of the shrine.
Many more will come but I need to process them, which may take some time, especially considering the fact that we are going to leave for our honeymoon next Saturday!
Please be patient!
