Wedding Reception of President Nagase's daughter

The Nagamachi Ward had two of their young adults marry in the Temple.  The bride is the daughter of Pres Nagase who serves in the Mission Presidency with Gary.  They are on their way to BYU-H to go to school.  This wedding reception is not like one we would attend in America where we would come and go in the evening.  Rather, it was a come and sit and stay the whole time as their "story" was told and gifts of gratitude were exchanged between the couple and their parents.  We didn't realize this was the tradition and came late (I know, classy, huh)  We took pictures of what we saw.

 The Bride and Groom each expressed love and gratitude to their parents.  They were emotional in this picture--not sad!

The special gift they presented each set of parents was a cute white Teddy Bear.  Each bear weighed exactly the birth weight of the their child (the Bride or Groom) Cute idea!

 As they left the room they walked to each table and bowed to each of their guests.


 Lovely, but simple decorations. 
Those attending the reception--mostly Nagamachi Ward members.
