This frame is designed to honor my best friend of 43 years, Ineke.
Ineke, her husband, daughter and son in law traveled to Kyoto Japan
to
witness the marriage of their sun and brother Michel with his Japanese
bride Shinobu. They got marries on 11-21-2005 in Kyoto Japan.
The wedding was performed in the old traditional Japanese way. Some photo's taken Japan before and during the wedding.
