Dan and Taeko Wedding
Married October 16, 2003

The Bride and Groom

A note from Dan: "We got married Oct. 16, 2003 in Osaka and later held a small reception with the extended Ogawa family in Kobe, Taeko's hometown. We played dress-up twice, once in formal "Western-style" dress, the other in traditional Japanese wedding attire. Dressing down in Japanese-style was a trip. It took three assistants to help get Taeko ready and by the end of our photo session, her neck was sagging from the weight of the headpiece. Can't say I know the symbolic Shinto meaning of the various pieces I'm wearing - i.e. the fuzzy dice hanging across my gut - but the silk was fine and comfortable."
