Lisa and Tommy's Wedding: Part 1

Aki with the Newlyweds

A little less than two years ago, Lisa, Yuri's sister and our Maid of Honor, bent over backwards to make the wedding of our dreams come true; so did her boyfriend, Tommy. The two of them tied ribbons, packed gift boxes, cut invitations, lifted, lowered, coordinated, and confided their hearts out.

At the end of June, we finally got to see Tommy and Lisa enjoy their big day. Did our eyes water? Probably. Were we totally thrilled see two of our favorite people tell each other "I do"? Most definitely!

Even during the biggest week of their lives, Tommy and Lisa found ways to make us a part of the joy and festivities. Chris's family came out to take part, and of course Aki's Lolo and Lola were totally thrilled to see their grandson again:


Lolo, Lola, and Aki

Lola made sure Aki outclassed his Daddy with this new three-piece suit. (Italian. Seriously.)


Uncle Sean


Aunt Connie

Uncle Sean and Aunt Connie didn't seem to mind hanging out with their nephew, either. Uncle Sean was Aki's own personal paparazzi with his fancy camera and professional snaps (thanks for letting us rip these photos, Sean!)

We'll add some more photos from the wedding as we get everything processed. For now, here's one last shot from Sean, featuring the Takasugi clan and their newest member, Tommy (along with Aki showing off the new wave he's been working on.)

Congrats, Lisa and Tommy!
