Wedding Bliss!!

Last weekend, our friends from church (Kayo and Andrew) got married. She's Japanese and he's American (a missionary out here), so it was neat to see their cultures mesh in this Japanese/American wedding. This is a picture of Kayo and her dad walking down the aisle... (she is the most excited person I know, which you can clearly see on her face in this picture)!
They did some things American (like get married in a church instead of a temple, and have a maid of honor and best man, which the Japanese don't do). And they did some things Japanese (Kayo's mother and some other women were in traditional kimonos, and Kayo read a letter to her family and friends during the reception). I also thought it was really neat that Andrew said his vows in Japanese to her and she said her vows in English to him (although they both are fluent in both languages).
It was also sweet that their first kiss together was on their wedding day... but funny because Kayo pulled away when he went to kiss her! (I think she was just nervous!)
I made the cake for the wedding... I've found that some cakes just go together so stress-free and easy while others make me sweat it out the entire time. This one went together so well! I actually enjoyed doing it...
And Kayo told me in an email the other day that it was "the beautifulest cake i ever seen."... so sweet! It makes all the work worth it!
