    Congrats from a stranger on the internet! I'm sorry you didn't have your family there for the big day but it looked like a beautiful ceremony anyway. My little sister got married to a Japanese guy a few years back and the mixture of Scottish and Japanese customs was great fun, He wore a kilt for the ceremony and she wore a ceremonial kimono for the reception, whole thing was really cute. Two countries with a strong drinking culture though so got a bit messy after that!

    Beautiful wedding, I cried. I'm from Hawaii, and my wife is from Colombia. We both live in Alaska and have been married 26 years, with one daughter. We have bought two homes in Colombia, where we plan on living on our retirement years. My wife is also a very dedicated Catholic and I'm not religious, but believe in God. Congrats to you both. I am 3rd generation Japanese as well, and my family comes from Hiroshima, survivors from the bombing there. Last name Japanese: Takahashi. I really enjoy your channel. I must learn better Spanish, as we are planning to move in a few years to Colombia, but I'm not so talented with learning. I will try my best. Thanks for your efforts, and quality videos.

In your case they could not due to the pandemic but in my case it was because no one in my crazy disfunctional family felt it was worth the bother. It did not stop me from having fun. I stayed married 14 years and although we are no longer together as husband and wife, we have remained good friends. I wish you a life time of happiness.

I have been following your videos for some time now and you've inspired me to finally take that step towards moving to Japan.
    I was putting off moving to Japan for many reasons throughout my life (possible culture&language barriers especially in the workplace, life eventually taking me to Europe instead, pandemic etc) but after my dad recently passing away I think it is time for me to just go for it. Hopefully one day I will be able to find someone as wonderful as your Tommy and work towards those life milestones as well. Wishing you both all the best :)

    You both looked so beautiful, and Tommy definitely looked like the cat that got the cream. The little photo montage you gave everyone at the reception was amazing, as was the cake, WOW.
    OMG, the bridal suite is breathtaking, and the view is unbelievable.
    It's been 15 months now, but you'll never forget that day. Congratulations to you both, it was sad your parents couldn't be there, but shit happens.

    Hello, Anming. Heartfelt congratulations from someone in another big city in Asia. I can tell Tommy loves you and cares about you. Female intuition. Have a great life together! Love and cherish. Stay positive as you always do for any challenges to melt away.
    And please continue to inspire people with your passion for life, adventure and languages, and gratitude for what we do have.
    Japan is reopening to tourism. May a family reunion be in sight soon.
    Omettedo gozaimasu!

    I just came across your channel and after about 10 minutes and I knew that I had to pause the video and subscribe - you have a very soothing voice - I could tell that you are kind to all and that’s so important - we need more individuals such as you - I hate that your family could not attend one of the most important days of your life - Congratulations on your wedding, may you and your husband have only good cross your paths - I can’t wait to binge watch all your videos - Thanks for sharing your lives with the world - it’s nice to get a glimpse of Japan - your videos are as close as I’ll ever get to Japan lol - it’s nice to see other cultures and their way of life!

    Congratulations! Thankss for sharing your beautiful love story online (wishing all lovers getting united for as long as their lifetime or afterlife-depending on each one’s belief if there’s afterlife-takes them). It’s first time I’m seeing a western style Japanese real wedding (usually only watched traditional Japanese wedding over JDrama and hadn’t got the chance to see/ attend real ones although one of my friend married in Japan) and it’s pretty different (in terms of the words usage and wedding vows in the church ceremony…although it’s different but sweet & nice!) and the dinner time is special.
    Like how much openness you have in adapting to new things (different country different language, different culture & norms) and unexpected stuffs in life (family unable to attend your wedding) and the positive vibes you have shared during your voice narrations.
    Chanced upon your first video abt the many languages you can speak with locals and tourist during your walk-round Korea Chinatown…am amazed with your perseverance to learn new languages! Definitely will follow on with your future videos as excited to see more of your informative contents and wishing you & husband all the best in life!🎉😘

    Had to laugh at the 2:17 mark. I'm pretty sure they were carrying a bag with the wedding dress, but it looked a lot like a body bag. Caught me off guard for a second.
