Last year in A Tale of Love I wrote about our daughter Beth and son-in-law Sergio’s wedding, at which I was honored to officiate. Rather than rush off to an affordable honeymoon, our fairytale couple saved their yen for a year, so they could visit Japan! Why Japan? Well, aside from the fact that it’s beautiful and fascinating, it’s a hotbed of cosplay (costumes + play). And Beth, a Japanese-inspired costume designer, and Sergio, a professional game reviewer and Dungeon Master, are devoted cosplayers. Result? They’ve just returned from playing their way through the land of the rising sun!

Beautiful photos. Looks like your daughter and son in law have a very fun life!
Wow!
This photos are fantastic! Thanks for sharing a bit of the happy couple’s life!
Truly my pleasure, Vera.
They look like they’re a lot of fun. How wise of them to save their money for a trip they’ll really value!
Beautiful pictures Mitch! Your daughter and her husband look very happy and like they had a nice time. God bless your daughter and her husband!
Thank you, Cora!
You’re welcome Mitch. Enjoy the weekend!
Looks like a fun trip!
Goodness–how long were they there, 3 months?! So many adventures in so many places. Looks like they squeezed every drop of fun out of every minute!
12 days, I think, Nancy. But that included travel, so maybe 10 days of actual vacation time.
They certainly had fun! Beautiful photos!
Absolutely beautiful photos – gorgeous bride – handsome groom – and in that tuxedo, Mitch, you’re not so bad yourself. Now, even though I saw no photo of your wife, I know she looked lovely.
She did indeed, Jeanne. Thank you.
I love the pictures of Japan and your happy ornate daughter and son-in-law. What a fun duo! Surely they’d have a blast if cast in roles for a Notzilla sequel. Thanks for sharing, Mitch.
My pleasure, Nancy.
Love this, Mitch! Thanks for Sharon! They look so happy. I have a client off to Japan today and I hear amazing things.💕
Beautiful
What fun! And how creative and memorable! Thanks for sharing, Mitch! Blessings, Anne
Thank you. And blessings to you, Anne!
Awesome pics and a great story to share
Gorgeous! The wedding cake was so unique and beautiful! I grew up watching Pokémon. Cheers to your family! 😊💕
Thank you, and to you and yours as well!
It definitely looks like a good time was had by all!!!
What awesome pictures, Mitch. (and I mean that in the truest sense of the word, not like these days when everything is “awesome.”) Your daughter is gorgeous! <3
Aw, thanks, Annie!
Amazing photos! A question about the cake: was that their wedding cake or the groom’s cake?
My daughter-in-law is from Georgia and apparently it is a Southern tradition to have two cakes at the reception – a traditional wedding cake and the groom’s cake. My son’s groom’s cake was a camel.
Fascinating traditions abound!
That was their wedding cake, Nancy. I’m not familiar with the groom’s cake tradition.
Beautiful pictures! Our daughter and her new husband were planning to go to japan for their honeymoon but it was when they were closed for covid. They will probably go in a year or so, but went to London instead. Still had fun! Japan looks cool.
Both would be wonderful trips. I haven’t been to Japan, but London is my favorite city.
Wow!
Super 👍🏻 pics :-)
Very cool!
Amazing photos! And equally amazing imaginations. Blessings to you and your family on your daughter’s wedding. I’m sure it was a memorable celebration for all concerned, although I’m not sure how you kept the emotions at bay.
It handled it pretty well, Russell. I was focused on keeping things flowing, so that helped. But when they kissed, and then when their mom lost it, that go to me.
Wow! Beautiful! All the best to them!
I’m so happy for them! It looks as if they had a wonderful time!
