Japanese Wedding 8th October

Went to another wedding on Saturday. It was different to the first one. The layout of the hall was different. Yuuko and Hiroyuki were a bit older, so the feeling of this wedding had more of an adult, family feel to it. I liked it. I thought it was very warm. The gift we received from the newlyweds were a champagne glass with our names engraved on it. Japanese being Japanese can't pronounce the "L" and the "R" sound in English...which apparently made it's way to the champagne glass as well...I'm sorry daddy, but I'm no longer a LEE but a REE...Vicky REE...hmmm. But, it's the thought that counts right (^_=)

The wedding started at 1:30. So, late lunch mixed with afternoon of drinking ;) When the FIRST party ended at 4pm, we went to the second party. A more informal party with more food and even more ALCOHOL. The second party started from 5pm. There were only a handful of people, mostly the young ones (the olds have their own second parties) We were there drinking and eating, and they were trying to hook me up with the guy from my office (yet again) turns out he does have a girlfriend afterall!!! Who can you believe now in this day and age...

Anyways, went to the third party, which was at a karaoke place, stayed for an hour and was about to call it a night, when Ayami calls and asks me to go to the party that she's at with her and her friends. So, showed up at my forth party for the evening, and just chatted and met some really nice young people. My night ended at 12:00 midnight, just like Cinderella (^_^)
