Well, the day is here. This afternoon, at sunset, we marry in a formal ceremony as required by Japanese custom. We will gather with friends and family by the canoe down in Paseo Park and speak our vows. Wakana is a nervous wreck though she tries not to show it. Her parents, aunt, and brother and his family are on a plane as I type. We go to meet them in another hour and a half.

This has been an exercise in the blind leading the blind. She didn't know what to have for her ceremony and expected me to have all the answers because I was married once before. Also I had to make most of the arrangements because she doesn't trust her English. Wish us luck.

I just received my travel itinerary for the Big Trip. I will add it to this thread and my globe thread later. Got to go practice for my wedding song.
