Trying some kimono

Eiko and I went to try some kimono today, to get ready for the wedding ceremony at the shrine.

This is approximately what I'm going to look like next year on April 17th (the watch and the sweater not included!).

The choice was made quite quickly between a dark vest, a very dark vest or purple one that makes you look like a bad imitation of a yakuza in an American movie (quite fun to wear though!).
As for the pants, it was about picking between large or thin stripes.

Eiko, on the other hand, had three catalogs full of colourful kimono, red, black, orange, green, with phoenixes, Japanese patterns, etc.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to doing this ceremony, I think it'll be quite fun (until I have to do the speech in Japanese!).
