Today I asked (or confronted, I suppose) Nakata-sensei regarding a possible panel on kimono or even a tea ceremony demonstration. I'm quite happy to say that she seemed interested; she said that she would contact me once she could get the chance to look at her calendar for that weekend.

So it looks as though this panel is a go.

I truly don't want to leave Nakata-sensei hanging, though; could we perhaps get some information regarding time, expectations, etc. so I could let her know? Thanks.

That seems cool actually

yea, it really does. I'd love to go to a panel like that. Especially because I'm going to get married in Japan, and I want to have a tea ceremony, rather than a christian wedding.

All I know is that I'm supposed to get married in Denmark, but I'm going to get Remarried in Japan and have their wedding.

heh, Ironic because church weddings are considered fassionable in Japan!

I have heard that too actually. :lol: I've also heard that if you mess up on how you present the kimono, you could be mistaken for a dead person.

This is true. For the initiate, this is very easy to do without even thinking about it's significance.

You are right. ^_^

Heck I would love to see this pannel happen. I would be going to it, so lets make it happen.

I concur.

I don't really want a church wedding, because I feel like it's be... wierd.

I haven't been to church since I was in 4th grade, and I'm not Christian by any standards. Besides, I don't want anything way spectacular, and our friend Luke will be our priest or whatever. (He's an ordained minister.)

I definately don't want a flashy expensive wedding. It's going to cost enough to get to the place where we're going to have it. *shrugs* Oh well.

So wait...
You're going to fly to Japan WITH the guy who is going to do it, because you don't want it to be expensive?

If you didn't want something that was over the top or expensive, wouldn't it make more sense to do it here in the states where both you and your wedding-guy live as well as your families, rather than on the exact opposite side of the world far from anyone who loves you or would want to be a part of it?

Wouldn't be a bad honeymoon spot though...

There are 8 of us going and I know we'd all love to see this panel! :P

uhm... I don't like my family.

And there, my dear Mike, is the reason that I would fly across the world to get married. I don't want anyone there, 'cept a select few people... none of which are realted to me. He feels the same way.

*shrugs* It does seem a little out of the way, doesn't it? Oh well. The honeymoon would be the main reason for having the wedding there... that and the shopping. (I'm going to go so bankrupt...)

You will have a great time though. That on it's own makes up for everything.

I would do what she is doing, flying over to Japan to get married.

I would do it too.

I mean it is something most people can not say..^_^

I'd like to honeymoon in Japan, but I would feel like I had been very inconsiderate to my friends and family if I had the ceremony there.
In a lot of ways a persons wedding is even more important to their parents than it is to them.

Yeah, well, I'm from Denmark so I have to have two weddings already, so its like...where is your family from? then we'd go there(And if its my wolf then Japan)

Now I think I am going to have my wedding in Japan, if I ever get married..lol

Lol, I thought I wasn't going to get married, and I was so close to being sixteen and never been kissed! But that changed...considerable...-hint signature-

I just got dumped by my boyfriend. We had dted for almost 10 months, and I have loved him for 5 years.

I was his first girlfriend.

ahhh thats sweet in the beginning but still sad :o

yeah, but it is ok.

wasn't my first heart break, and I can bet it is not my last.

Yeah well, the first time I had ever been heart broken was last year in May.

But my heart is full now
