Cirque De Soleil

Japan had a rare 5 day long weekend in September this year. It was lucky since it happened to fall the weekend after Reiko and I decided to get married. We spent the weekend mostly getting accustomed to each other and resting.

Reiko brought me home a Wii on Sunday which made my weekend. She also got Wii Sports Resort. We played a fair bit and I settled on ping pong as my favorite game while she likes cycling.

Today we went to see Cirque de Soleil performance "Zed" at their permanent Tokyo theater near Tokyo Disney Resort. The theater is small compared to say, the Las Vegas one but it great to finally see the Circus of the Sun.

Wedding

A lot has happened recently so it's hard to know where to start. The last week has been one of the best weeks of my life.

Last Thursday Reiko and I made it official. We went to the city office and got married. We had gone the previous week to pick up our wedding rings. The rings were hand made from scratch by the same jewelry maker that made Reiko's brother's wedding rings. The are very nice and have our 9/17 anniversary date and our initials inscribed on the inside. Other than size and that Reiko's has a small diamond in it, the rings are identical.



The jewelery maker also made Reiko's engagement ring. All the rings have platinum bands.



After that Reiko and I went out to dinner at the Imperial Hotel near Yuurakuchou Station. It was a very nice dinner so we dressed up.



After dinner the staff presented us with a piece of cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

The next day my coworkers took me out to eat to celebrate my wedding. The arranged for a private room for an hour and gave me a pillow with "yes" written on one side and "no" written on the other. You can guess what it means.
