    Yamagata Wedding

    It is from a story in the Yamagata Shinbun reporting on a marriage ceremony between a local woman and an American named Timothy Doyle. Their marriage ceremony was held at Soumaro, a historical geisha tea house/restaurant in Sakata City, and it was the first time ever that a marriage between a Japanese person and a foreigner was held there. According to the article, Doyle and his wife love Japanese culture & history, and were very happy to be able to have a traditional Japanese style wedding in such a beautiful and historical setting.
