Father Kenji
Over donkatsu at Azabu Zuban, Kenji graciously agreed to be our officiant. Kenji and Eric have been close friends for 5 years. He has even been to the Philippines has met more of Eric's family than Myung Jin has. (Thanks Kenji... Aunt Cel says make it epic ;-)
주례를 서주기로한 에릭 친구 켄지 타나카. 에릭이 일본에서 5년간 지내면서 가장 친하게 지낸 친구중 하나. 켄지는 특이하게 미국 주례자격증(?)이 있다. 에릭과 켄지는 오래전부터 켄지가 주례서는 얘기를 농담삼아 했대는데 우리가 정말로 부탁하니까 눈물을 훔쳤다.

Printing Invitations
Our wedding invitations are finally finalized after much going back and forth. (Mostly Eric art-directing Myung Jin! But Eric did chip in at the very end and did the last production work...) Annika at De Milo Design, a wonderful letterpress printer we found in South Pasadena is printing our invitations.
