Okinawan Wedding

Filed under: — Andy @ 6:18 am

I recently went to a co-workers/basketball friend’s wedding party. It was interesting, as the last time I remember going to a wedding was when my uncle got married back when I was a kid. There were lots of people at this wedding, at least 300, but I was told that is standard for Okinawan weddings. The married couple entered and exited 3 times each time wearing a different outfit. There were the usual speeches, a deluxe meal, the cutting of the cake, the tossing of the groom in the air, and performances of various acts from friends of the married couple. It was very different from what I remember when I was a kid, but was nevertheless a good time.
