My good friends Bob & Tomoko held their wedding ceremony at a reception hall on the Kanagawa coast earlier this month. I taped the ceremony and party and have been editing together a couple of highlight reels for the happy couple.
Throughout the celebration, several staff members - I've started calling them the Japanese Wedding Wranglers - kept things on track by guiding the bride and groom through the space, handling props and timings, setting up microphones and doing all the background tasks you would expect - though perhaps to an extreme not usually seen in the US.
Here's a short film highlighting all the work they did that day.
Haha! Great choice of music!
That was brilliant honey! Great work! Loved it!
Those guys are totally fascinating. I was mesmerised by them at a wedding i went to with MJ long ago. Fabulous!
