On the way, I blinked in the sparkling sunshine.
The sun was smiling kindly as if all of things on earth are cerebrating my friends, Norm and Nikki, and their wedding.

Actually, this wonderful wedding was my first experience in America in form of formal wedding. How cute and beautiful they were! I have no words to describe those beauty and happiness in English. I am so proud that I could be there to cerebrate them. I am so glad to be there as a part of their departure to the happy life. AND, THANK YOU FOR INVITING US, Norm and Nikki.

I wish all the best for you guys.

After the reception, I was recalling the memories when I met Norm. We met in the class over summer semester 2005, Mktg 2500. He suggested organizing study group in the class, and I joined it after the class. Surprisingly, he spoke Japanese especially those are pretty dirty. Since that, even though we have not hang out that often outside of the school, we became nice friends each other.

Nikki and Norm decided to go to Japan.
This could be a total new departure for them.
I am looking forward seeing you in Japan.

Again, that was an awesome wedding. Both of us, Marina and myself, had a really good time. Thank you very much, my friends.

Here are the words of Japanese song for you.
(Inspired by Kobukuro... Be together forever....)

--------------------------
Dear my friends…Norm and nikki

My feeling is peacefully satisfied now…because I sense the meaning of this precious moment that we finally have together.
There is nothing special. We just dress up little bit better than usual. I think you are the most beautiful girl in the world.

Since both of us have been busy for daily happening, we don't have many memories together, but we have the future to spend together that will be fulfilled by wonderful moments. Can you hear the bell ringing for us… for our departure?

We are gonna…walk together, look for our happiness together, smile together, swear to God together, feel days together, select our ways together, cry for us together, hug together, hold hand together, build our future together, pray for our fortune together…

I am thinking of you with drawing those futures in mind…

… We may have a moment we have to struggle together. Out life will not be consisted of beautiful and clean events. But… today, I have decided to overcome any struggle with you, to go along with you no matter what happens. I'll never forget the sound of bell that represents our departure… never and ever.

Our encounter would be coincidence… but it was named “fate.”
Any moment we will have… those will be the most precious moment since now on… if it's with you.

We are gonna…walk together, look for our happiness together, smile together, swear to God together, feel days together, select our ways together, cry for us together, hug together, hold hand together, build our future together, pray for our fortune together…

I am thinking of you with drawing those futures in mind…
It doesn't matter when, where, how…even what… A thing only matter is who… I am with you… no one else for me.
