I am a Japanese girl who was born and grew up in Kanagawa, very close to Tokyo, Japan.
He is a US NAVY sailor who was born and grew up in sunny California.
We live in Ridgecrest, CA with two dogs, Tiffany and Dacota, Whom we adapted from animal shelter.
Even though we are in a process of wedding planning for 19th September 09, we have been already Mr & Mrs for almost 2 years.
We met in Japan when he was stationed there and got married on 21st September 07.
There were so much paper works with Navy to go thorough in order for him to marry foreign national. It took 9 months to get everything done and took 15 minutes to get married at city hall in my home town. As soon as we got married, it was time to start working on getting me visa so that we could move back to the states together and couldn't even think about having a wedding. Plus, his grand mother who is a huge part of his life can't take such a long flight to come to Japan because of her back problem. So we just had a small family lunch and BBQ party with friends.
But I am a girl who has been dreaming about a big white dress since I was 4 years old. Most of pictures I drew in kindergarten were ether princesses or brides.
I couldn't give up on my white dress.
Last year we moved back to the states and decided to have a wedding of my dream.
Since all of my family live in Japan, they have to fly but I'm sure it will be a good opportunity for them to come out to see where I live and meet all of in laws.
