Cranes into Chains

On the road to a few hundred cranes & paper cubes for the photo booth garland....

Flowers, Lace, & Feathers

On the brink of finishing the invitations, I have begun work (thoughts) on the headpieces....

26 April 2011

Wow, only 95 days until the wedding, seems crazy that I was thinking myself crazy for doing so much research so early on, but the time has flown by so fast. The invitations are almost done and will go out on May 1st. The guest list stands at 138, 38 more then we had planned for. This is not including plus ones. The more the merrier they say! It will be an event to remember, Lights, flowers, Karaoke; amazing food cooked by my extraordinarily Gourmet Chef mother. Fabulous pink & orange drinks served up by my beautiful tattooed Bartender Brittney! jars and jars of fruit filled sangria! All taking place in my mother's beautiful Garden, Oh I can't wait!!

Accommodations for our out of towners

Hello to all of our out of town guest,

Below you will find a link to the Block of Hotel rooms we have set up at the Indigo Hotel New York -Chelsea under the group name, "Kokubun/McKen wedding". We have set aside 10 rooms at a discounted rate. Please book your room as soon as possible. I think the best dates to do so would be Thur July 28th to Sun July 31st. that way you will have a nice 4 day weekend in NYC. I thought it might be nice to plan a few trips to the Statue of Liberty, a few museums and maybe a baseball game. Please let me know what you think. Also, if you would like to share a room, (I think the rooms fit 4 adults) Please let me know and we can set something up, or you can comment below and begin a dialog with other guests.

We look forward to seeing all of you in July.

Best, Aaren & Hiroshi

The Matron of Honor is Aaren's mejor amiga, Ms. Vanessa Draper. Vanessa and Aaren met in New Paltz on the rugby field. After Vanessa gave Aaren a ride home from practice she thought, "this girl is crazy" and they have been friends ever since. Although Vanessa moved to England to live with her husband Scott, (who has the same birthday as Aaren and a best friend named Aaron) The two keep in touch. Vanessa and Aaren have shared so many of life's ups and downs together and could never ask for more in a friend.

Eggo, also known as Aaja, is Aaren's older sister. Aaja will be one of the 5 bridesmaids in the wedding. Aaja is a beautiful, creative talented tattooed lady who Aaren is proud to have stand with her as she exchanges vows with Hiroshi.

Leo, also known as Leah, is Aaren's cousin & God Sister. Leah, just like all of Aaren's other cousins, is more of a sister then cousin to Aaren. Aaren & Leah always seem to see eye to eye and Aaren is glad to have her help and love during this time. .

Holley, another fabulous Holley cousin is another bridesmaid. Holley has been Aaren's dancing partner for years and the two love to go out and have an amazing time in the city together. Aaren can't wait for the reception so they can cut a rug!!

Key low low, also known as Kenyatta, is Aaren's play cousin who grew up across the street from Holley on 227th. Kenyatta is and always has been a part of the Holley family. Aaren is over joyed to have her in the wedding party.

Brookelyn, also known as Brooke is last but not least in the line of bridesmaids. Aaren & Brooke met at Oasis while working at summer camp. Aaren & Brooke then become roommates and have been fabulous friends ever since. Aaren is so very glad to have Brooke in the bridal party!!
