Our reception was magical, the ambiance was perfect! We had strung paper lanterns in the backyard and created a bamboo frame over the dance floor. From the bamboo frame, called a hoopa, we had strung white lights. There was plenty food and drink, and enough chairs and tables for our guests to feel comfortable. We danced into the sunset! At the end of the evening our friends surrounded Jessica’s car with sparklers, the effect was stunning. I posted a few photos taken from Idamae below.

Our wedding was a success! The weather was hot but the church was not too hot. The decorations were beautiful. I was told that during a wedding one thing will go wrong. The only thing I can think of is that the unity candle would not light. I had to dump the wax out of the candle to get it to light. Our first kiss was outstanding! I’ve enclosed a few photos of us getting ready for our wedding below. These photos were lovingly taken by Idamae. We expect the photos from our wedding photographer to arrive in three weeks. As soon as those arrive I’ll post them as well.
