Setsuko Loves Chachi

Okay, not Chachi-- Yocchan actually. It seems that Ritsy's sister has found love again-- this time with a very nice gentleman from her office. I guess the entire thing is a bit of a secret at their company- so hopefully no one finds this that works with them. After two months of romantic dating-- they have decided to tie the knot in November. November 16th to be exact. The two families met up 2 weeks ago at a fancy dinner for a formal announcement of the impending nuptials.
We met up at a beautiful little restaurant called Hanayamokubei (花屋杢兵衛 ). It had a very expensive, old fashioned Japanese feel to the place, beautifully decked out. Indeed, it is even setup to hold Japanese-style restaurant weddings.
However, they have decided on a different location for their wedding. They chose a place called Amandan Rise in Hamamatsu. Japanese weddings look expensive!
Ken was popular as usual, but this whole day had a very formal feeling. We all had to introduce ourselves- it was good practice for my Japanese speaking, but I was nervous, of course.
We left the place feeling peaceful and happy to meet the new extension of our families. I wish Setsuko and Yocchan all the best of luck in their future together-- I hope they have found their keys to happiness!
