Great pictures, and a great website you have at tikifish.com. I really like the wedding pictures. You look beautiful in your wedding dress, and you remind me of my wife in her wedding kimono.

When my wife and I married, we intended to do it at the summit of Mt. Hood in Oregon, however, at the last minute the preacher cancelled. We were forced to scramble to get another preacher to marry us, and couldn't find one that would climb with us on short notice, we also couldn't delay the wedding climb because it was already scheduled for the last day of the climbing season (July 28), since I'd been studying for the Oregon State Bar Exam all summer, and had just finished the exam three days earlier.

Anyway, we had to do our wedding climb without the ceremony. We started climbing at midnight and reached the summit at 6:30 AM. We were down by noon, and got married at the Lodge that evening. Because of the circumstances, we had to scamble to find wedding attire in a single afternoon. I wore a suit I already had, and my wife bought a mostly white kimono. The ceremony was nice but was a disappointment in comparison to what we'd planned.

It looks like your wedding was really great. Congratulations.
