Wedding IMG
Draped in the pristine, pure-white Shiromuku gown I had dreamed of since childhood, a flood of memories quietly drifted into my heart.

Wrapped in the warm blessings of beloved family and friends who gathered just for this day, my chest swelled with an overwhelming mix of pure joy and tender nostalgia.

Weddings

“We are who we are today because of everyone who traveled to be here.”
As this thought brought warm tears to my eyes, their beaming smiles shone brighter than ever before.

The dawn of a new journey—two souls united, two families bound together.

Standing in this sacred place on this unforgettable day, we are filled with deep happiness.

To everyone: thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
