First Photos

Ok, here we are, approximately one week from that magical date - and here are the first of many photos I will post. Since I wasn’t able to take photos myself, I am relying on third party providers to amass a pile of good photos to show. I’ll eventually highlight everyone that was caught around a camera :)

If anyone wants to contribute - please email me their selections. I expect to receive a large group of images from the photography studio in the next 3-4 days, until then, please enjoy this first small dose of imagery.

first meeting between family
The first meeting between my immediate family and Ayako’s parents. We had dinner and chatted - was nice for everyone to finally meet each other.

full wedding party
The groomsmen, bridesmaids, and bride + groom. The groomsmen and I all changed into yukatas before going to the reception (we wore formal wear for the wedding ceremony). It was a fun surprise to walk into the reception wearing these Japanese summertime outfits, and they made dancing quite interesting :)

Charles Abbott and best friends
What can I say? Ben and Josh were my wingmen for the wedding - we’ve been best friends since junior high school; I could see it no other way than to have them at my side. Besides, those guys look pretty darn sharp in yukatas ;)

Charles Abbott with best man and father in law
My best man Josh to my right (left side of the photo) and Ayako’s father on my left for a toast. We had a lot to drink that night and every drink was a great photo opportunity :)
