I went to Israel last week to attend my niece’s wedding ceremony. She was beautiful, the ceremony was touching and the party was so fun and exciting. Guests came from all over the world from about 30 countries because the bridegroom was born in South Africa and moved to the US when he was a child and his parents have businesses all over the world.

Although my sister has lived in Israel for a long time, I had never visited there. Her children have visited Japan many times. This time I finally made it there and I find it a fantastic country! People are from all over and very friendly. Most people speak beautiful English and it is so easy to make friends. The weather was perfect and the food was great. It really reminded me of Los Angeles. This wedding was very carefully planned by the groom’s family. There were lots of surprises: fireworks, neon light stuffs to wear or hold when dancing, slippers for the people who are tired of wearing heels, beautiful shawls to wear when temperature went down, baskets to put any fruits or flowers or vegetables you like to take home with (even the people working for the event could take them home), etc., etc. I think it cost a lot of money, but the groom’s mother’s enormous love to her son and the bride and the great care to the details made this a fantastic unforgettable moment not only for the wedding couple but for all the people who were there that night. I’ll show you some more pictures outside the wedding scene next time.
