Ok my wedding is gonna be a little diffrent, I want to get married in a Kimono. My bridal party will either wear kimono too or something really basic but pretty. I'm not sure if i'd have a traditional catholic ceremony or something a little more nonconformist I guess it depends on who the groom is ;-). Oh, and my number one pick for wedding location (since money dosen't matter here) is the stair case in the gardens at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. my reception is going to take a little bit of a japanese slant too, At a japanese reception the bride wears a beautiful coat called a Uchicaike over her white kimono, but this is only for the first portion after introductions and such she changes and will wear several elaborate outfits throughout the night (this is supposed to symbolize that she is ready to return to the real world when everything is over). So I thought with dancing and all that it would be a good thing to incorporate and then I could wear a more western style dress for the remainder of the reception. I also want kareoke, and instead of champange for a toast I think i'll do sake, Kenpai! and I want to give out little cereamic lucky cats for favors. Can you tell i've thought about this alot? Anyhow theres you Japanese culture lesson of the day.
