today is our big day in japan the day that we've been waiting so long for
but just like anything in life it can be pretty unpredictable
between the pouring rain and my family not attending our wedding we have a lot to
talk about so sit back relax we're gonna take you back to the beginning and how all this came to be
tommy and i met at the end of 2020 through a language exchange app he was
studying chinese and i had lived there for many many years
we got along so well that i decided not to move back to china and just stay in japan
and by september 2021 we were engaged
he's never been to america but i always tried to bring a little america to him
does that look like normal sushi to you yeah really he's just being nice
we tried a lot of new things together and traveled to a lot of new places
we embraced each other's differences in culture language and religion
and we packed up our bags said goodbye to our single lives
and got a place together and now we're ready to take the final step
tommy is ready to go ready i'm ready i put that on you look at that perfect looks good
it's raining it's raining on your wedding day
it's raining it's raining on your wedding day ouch that's okay because it's indoors it doesn't matter
oh my gosh it looks so pretty
wait is someone walking you down the aisle no
so i am actually alyssa's mom today
i came in and i cried a little bit but i'm going to cry a lot when she walks down the aisle
I was really shocked when i walked in because tommy was here and i was like what
He can't see her couples pick out the wedding dress together in japan i kid you not yeah
I'm gonna cry.
come on tommy uh-oh
we may have broken every single western wedding tradition endured pouring rain my family couldn't come
but like everything in life you have to be adaptable you have to change and you have to be
grateful for what you already have and not focus on what you don't and we already have so much
So sweet.
so we were on to the second half of our wedding
to embrace my husband's culture and celebrate japanese style
now suddenly the weather is nice as soon as our wedding is over
hey we're going to get some dinner in our japanese style room
Too strong Tommy. Too much you broke it.
