First of all, congratulations to the marriage of Chiaki & Tom! Danny and I couldn't be more happier for them, and it was wonderful to take part in their special day as the Matron of Honor and Groomsmen. Not only did we have the delight of seeing our two friends back in the OC, but we got to meet and become close with Chiaki's family! It was really great to see Chiaki and Tom's family come together and make unforgettable memories.
Apart from the wedding, we had an amazing time showing the family around to some "hot spots" of Southern California. So, not to bore you with too much text, here are some fun photos for you! It was extremely hard to narrow my choices down as there were tons of great photos!
Wedding : Family Portrait Photos on the Beach
Wedding : Ceremony at the ChurchWedding : Reception under the Fabulous California Sunshine
Hollywood/Santa Monica : Letting Loose Even More!
Coming to the End of an Amazing Week
I can't express enough how great it was to see all the families come together and
enjoy one another's company!
One of the amusing things to see when the families got together was watching the kids interact!
Boys : It's amazing how video games can bring two kids so close together =D
Girls : Even with the language barrier, they knew how to play and have fun with each other!
Winding down to the last day of Chiaki's family visit to the OC - drained but satisfied!
Friends Forever!
Chiaki and Tom, it was really great to see you guys and as I said in my speech, " it meant so much to us to stand up there with you and watch our closest friends get married today. You make things entertaining and exciting for us, and we’ll always cherish your friendship because we love you guys to pieces." Hope to see you soon!
