Rat Meat Sold as Mutton Sparks Crackdown...

Are you going for a traditional wedding?  Or are you going for what I call a "wedding center"?

St. Lucia!

But yeah we had to move it. The original place we were looking at was age restricted. Which was great because I really didn't want anyone's bebe's kids there. But I forgot that his youngest sister is 16. :-/

And even though we were going to have a fairly large wedding by destination wedding standards (~170ppl), the venue wouldn't budge. So, I decided to move the wedding. But it worked out because Japan was my first choice anyway, but I was just afraid that my mother (who's paying for the event) wouldn't want to fly that far. But she's cool with it. So we're switching to Tokyo.

And we're going for a traditional western style wedding at a hotel that's known for doing weddings. All the places we're going to meet with later this month are major hotel chains experienced with managing weddings both for residents and foreigners. And the packages they have are actually fantastic. Way cheaper than if we were to do it at a nice venue here in NYC.

We're looking at places in Shinjuku, Minato & Chiyoda.

The place we really wanted to do was the Tokyo Prince Park Tower because it was the 1st place we stayed at when we first went to Tokyo years ago. And they have this gorgeous glass chapel plus AMAZING views of the Tokyo Tower. But their banquet room had HORRIBLY UGLY carpeting. And I can't see that in my wedding pics.

Seriously lol!

Not really sure but it's within walking distance of the Tokyo Tower. Like 10 minutes walk. And also within walking distance of Roppongi Hills. :)
