 Sara and Yuki got married July 21st, a holiday here in Japan known as Ocean Day.  They have dated for about a year.   Her brothers Stephen, Matthew and Joe, plus Teresa and cousin Kate came to the ceremony from the States.  The ceremony was held at Yuki's home church in Osaka, a big church with plenty of room for everyone--over 100 in attendance.  The bride was beautiful and the groom handsome and everyone was happy.
