Our Evening Wedding Party: (1) Entrance

Thanks to Satoko's workmate Ken-san, I now have some wedding photos to post! These ones are from the night party for friends, which was a great success despite a few technical hitches. We really couldn't have done it without the help we had from some very special people, so very special thanks to Risa, Craig, Zoe, Jolyon, Miki, and many thanks to all our friends who came along to watch us in the hot-seat and take photos!

The festivities began at Deep Blue Lounge in Roppongi, and while the crowd of nearly 50 friends waited on the 2nd floor drinking and socialising, Satoko and I prepared for our entrance. I assumed that for me it would consist primarily of adjusting my tie, so I was somewhat surprised when a handful of movie soundtrack compilations were placed in front of me, and I was instructed to choose the music for our entrance.

I had already handed over to the management the interesting live mix that our friend (DJ) Jeremy had created for us, so in my mind "Choose music for the wedding party" was already crossed off from the to-do list. As my eyes wandered over the track listings, classics such as "Eye Of The Tiger" leapt up and scared the bejesus out of me! Luckily, my gaze fell upon another classic track - one that has aged well and retains its haunting beauty.

If you listen to it here (Twin Peaks Theme) and look at the photo above, it's just like being there. Make sure to darken the room and have a camera handy to flash in your eyes every few seconds if you want to experience what I did!
