About Mrs. Sushi

A Hawaiian Affair: The First Look.

July 10th, 2009 @ 8:28 am by Mrs. Sushi

In my last post, I briefly mentioned that we were not only planning on meeting before the ceremony, but that we were also exchanging cards to each other. Only we both forgot to get each other cards. Oops. That morning, while I was looking for the thank you card I had for my H&M stylist, I realized I had 2 extra cards. Perfect! One was rushed over to Mr. Sushi.

I actually don’t remember much about leaving the hotel or the drive to the ceremony venue. I remember my mom telling me that the shuttle was at the hotel, which meant Mr. Sushi was leaving, since he was taking the shuttle with the guests to the venue. I remember frantically trying to get all my crap together and then throwing it all in my bestie’s car. Then magically, I was at the temple.

Our photographer set up our “first look” meeting. He strategically placed Mr. Sushi so that I could sneak up behind him and tap him on the shoulder to turn around.

It went something like this:

Then I said, “Mr. Sushi, I have a card for you.” And he said, “What a coinkydink, I have one for you too.”

Okay so not really, but you get the idea.

Mr. Sushi wrote this:

To my Boopsy:

You make me happy, you make me smile, you make me proud to have you in my life, but most importantly, you make be BETTER. No matter where we are or where we end up in our lives, just know that we will be there together… forever and ever. As long as we have each other, we have everything.

You are not only my wife, my best friend and my partner… you are also my world.

Yours always,

Mr. Sushi.

::sigh:: He’s a keeper.

This is me probably telling Mr. Sushi how adorable he is. :)

Of course, writing such sweet thoughts is rewarded with smooches…

… and giggles.

It was a nice intimate moment between two people in love. And the photographer, and the tourists who happen to be around. :)

Mr. Sushi putting both cards back in his pocket. And next… we’re off to the ceremony.

You look absolutely gorgeous– I want that hair! Also, how do you feel about the fact that your pics are probably going to be more wedding porn for the “see how great a bride can look without covering her tattoos” contingent? :)

Oh, man, Mrs. S…you look absolutely beautiful! Your hair is perfection and so is your dress. I can’t put my finger on what it is, but there is something so authentic and true about these images. Those might not be the correct adjectives, but maybe it’ll come to me… with MORE RECAPS FROM YOU!! Maybe it’s the intimate quality, that’s real and not contrived. From the very first teaser, I fell in love with your wedding! Looking forward to more!
