Dear Akiko and Christopher, It was so much fun attending your wedding! I loved all the extra special touches and the traditional Japanese costumes. I have an image of Akiko in her Kimono and I thought that it was so cute that I put it on our new website! I thought that the watercolor guestbook for signing turned out great too and I hope that you liked it! Thank you again for having us photograph your wedding and for your referrals! Love, Leslie and Don Adiska www.apairphoto.com | |

Well, better late than never on the guestbook. I'm so glad I was able to be at your wedding, Christopher and Akiko! Look forward to seeing you and possibly a few little Chrikikos in Seattle. May love reign in your lives. | |

Wow, my peers are getting married! That's so... somethingorother. ;) Thanks for your hospitality while I was visiting Ann Arbor, it was really cool to see you guys after so many years. Look me up if you ever find yourselves in Atlanta. Happy Marriage! -Marleigh PS: About a half an hour ago I was talking to Mo, but he suddenly ran off to the airport. Now I've figured out where he was going. ;) | |

Dear Chrisopher and Akiko, What to say and how to say it? That you both are truly blessed to have found each other and how much I wish for your happiness and joy in your new life. It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since Christopher and family entered my life(he was learning "Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley Grow" on the piano, but demurred when asked to play it for me. "Maybe later," he said diplomatically.) My heart will be with you on your Day, Love, Helen | |

We were absolutely thrilled to receive your beautiful invitation yesterday--and then to discover this website tonight--perfect!!! Since 2000 we have thought about your wedding, wishing, but never expecting to be a part of your special day. Many, many thoughts of Mom (Louise Niehuss) and how special you were to her--and to us! We will be honored to share in your wedding day! | |

Great site, looks like it will be a terrific wedding! Wish we could be there. Also fun checking out your regular site. I will have to show Shelly the cat pictures. The trip to the dunes by Lake Michigan sure looked fun! Thanks for visiting us in Tokyo, we had a wonderful time, and Akiko, it was a total pleasure to meet you. You make a wonderful couple and it will be a joy to watch you two explore this world together. | |

Looks like Akiko has finally brought out the romantic in Christopher. We all knew it was there as much as he tried to hide it.... Very cool site. I wish I had the time to make mine look half as decent. See you guys in a couple weeks! | |

Awesome site! Thanks for sharing all of the personal and funny anecdotes about Akiko, Christopher and the wedding party. If you don't mind, Alison and I are planning to swipe some of these ideas for a website about our wedding too! Once the wedding is over, I look forward to visiting again to see the posted pictures. See you all in May! Mani | |

Hi Akiko and Chris, It was so much fun taking your engagement photos and visiting your website! I can see that you both have a fun, romantic and a little of the wild side. I loved the story of Chris giving you the violin case with gifts and poems and the story of Akiko using the gas pump! I am looking forward to your fun filled wedding day! Love, Leslie | |

I know akiko from the hopsital. We were waiting to see patients in reproductive endocrinology clinic when she showed me this websight. It's amazing! I wish I thought about doing this, and I love the guestbook! I've only known Akiko for a short while, but she is the sweetest thing and I hope your wedding day goes great! Best wishes for a long and happy life together! | |

Wonderful website -- loved the journal entries and pictures! I can't believe how quickly time is going by -- only a matter of months now! I feel so blessed to be a part of your wedding -- I know that it will be a very happy day as will be all your days together in the future. Treasure each other and enjoy your love! By the way, who's picking up Joey? | |

Dude, you guys are getting married. That's weird. But good. Great, in fact, congratulations! Thank you for the honor of being a part of your wedding, I'll be there. Willie's picking me up, right? | |

Got a kick out or reading your pages. Ah the wonders of modern technology! Wishing you the best and a short year. | |

Akiko, I can't believe you're marrying the guy who sabotaged my HBO viewing prospects and turned me in to the cable TV police. Christopher, what can I say? Despite dooming me to watching the evangelical channel, I'm very happy that you've captured Akiko's heart. I am so happy for both of you, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of your wedding! | |

Hey guys, hope everything is going well for you two. Time flies, and before you know it, the big day is gonna be here! Wow, I still don't think the reality of my sister getting married has truly sunk in yet. Oh my god, the speech! I have 288 days to think of one, thats too short of time! I guess I'll just have to decline...j/k Don't worry, I'll give the most inspiring and touching speech you two have ever heard, something similar to the "Freedom speech" you may have seen in Braveheart! haha | |
