Joel and Hilda's Official Wedding Pictures
Check www.benjimast.com for pictures taken by the official photographer for Joel and Hilda's wedding.
We got to look at all 652 of them. It won't take you as long as it did us.
The very first picture shows the Iwashige family crest on the Japanese lantern that hung to the side of the arch through which all the guests walked into the reception hall.
I wrote earlier about how I found the lantern at an estate sale in Hutchinson. While there are many family crest designs similar to this, this is exactly the version that belongs to Hiromi's family. The coincidence of having found this one in Hutchinson, Kansas is just too amazing. I'm sure the family that first owned the lantern thought of it only as an interesting Asian-looking design. (The wife had spent part of her childhood in China.)
