Wedding in Japan

Last April, Gail and I took the trip of a lifetime to Japan to attend the wedding of our nephew, Morgan, to his bride, Makiko (Maki).  Morgan took a position as a teacher in Japan, where he met Maki, also a teacher.  They courted, fell in love, and married.  We spent several days in Tokyo prior to heading down to Kagoshima for the wedding.  The wedding was in a Shinto temple and was captivating and beautiful.  At the reception, I delivered a speech, which Morgan had previously requested of me.  I delivered it in Japanese to everyone's surprise!  I had worked with a Japanese-American parent at Millikan to translate my English words into Japanese writing and speech.  She coached me several hours to make sure the words were pronounced correctly.   Also attending the wedding from the USA were Rich, Peggy, Sara, and Travis.  A reception will be held in Mariposa this December to allow family and friends to celebrate with Morgan and Maki.  All of the Kellers plan to attend.
