THE WEDDING



Posted by Picasa


















On Friday, 5 de Mayo, May 5th, Akihiro-Sensai got hitched.

THE TIME: 6pm till 9 pm......literally

THE PLACE: Loisir Hotel, Okinawa-Ken, Naha-Cho

THE ENTERTAINMENT: A Talent Show made possible by family and friends

THE ATTIRE: Black (except "the American," she wore pink)

THE PRICE: Ichi-Maun (100.00 dollars)

Needless to say it was a fun night, but a short one as they literally kick you out. It was held in a fancy shh-mansy hotel, on the 12 floor, overlooking the city. The bride changed 3 times. First, was the traditional wedding Kimono, second the traditional white wedding dress and lastly, a colored wedding dress. One had to pay 100 bucks to enter. Yup, that's right! Everone looked as if they were attending a funeral but with lots of seqence on! Me? I wore a pink skirt and a white sweater set. NO ONE TOLD ME!!!!! oh well.
So, to go on: The Menu.... Lobster (cooked), fish (raw), seafood salad (both raw and cooked), steak (thank-god it was cooked!) and lots of other yummy stuff. You would think because they had that huge cake, we would of eaten cake, right? NOPE! We had flan.
No music, no dancing, but an entertainment show brought to you by friends and family. Yes, i participated to and had to do a dance with my co-workers. All my male fellow teachers got wasted and make the night very funt! The after party was to countinue, but i couldn't make it as I had previous engagement: To celebrate 5 de Mayo at Salsatina's!!

ps I got a gift in return for the 100 bucks you pay: A set of 5 cherry blossom plates
