Japanese and English Wedding Ceremony

Scott and Tomoko's wedding ceremony was another one at First Bay, Coolum on a lovely sunny, but very windy day.  Tomoko's family and friends were coming from Japan for her marriage ceremony but they spoke very little English.  Fortunately I can speak some Japanese and so was delighted to present their ceremony in both languages.

After several meetings with them to gather information and learn what they wanted included, I prepared their ceremony in English and then Tomoko translated it into Japanese.  They chose to include a Sand Ceremony where their parents poured the base layers, representing the foundations of each of their lives and they together then added to top layer - to represent their unity.
