Mrs. Sushi was married at the Byodo-In Japanese temple in Oahu, Hawaii. This post was originally published on October 27th, 2009.

Our guests then went off to tour the temple while Frank went all paparazzi on our arses. We had about a lil’ over an hour to do photos before we had to load into the shuttle to make our way to the “reception”. Not having a wedding par-tay meant that whole hour was dedicated to us. That’s a whole lot of photos, yo.

For being a “small” temple, there was lots of scenery for photos.

We had our green mossy, woodsy area:

Got your bridge with koi pond? Check.

Pavilion? Check.

Massive bamboo… got it!

And let’s not forget the temple itself.

Now what you don’t see are all the photos the photographer got of me smacking Mr. Sushi in head or him swatting my arms to keep the mosquito’s away. The day we went to view our site (before wedding day), it was a cool and rainy day; i.e., no bugs. But on our wedding day it was nice and warm out and everyone was eaten alive. I kid you not, I had about 30 mosquito bites by the time the day was said and done (I’ll post proof soon!). If you’re having an outdoor wedding, bring bug spray!!

Hottie alert!

Some of you had asked before how much of my tattoo would show with my dress on:

It started to get a bit chilly so I put on my polka dotted cardigan…

and off we went to the “reception”.
