I think we worked really hard to tailor our wedding to us, and it all fell in to place really well (in the end!). I would say that getting married outdoors is very nerve-racking. Counting on the Okinawa weather was a worry I wouldn’t want to deal with again after working so hard to get everything just so. We missed a whole day of torrential rain, which was forecast for our day but blew over to the day after. We were very lucky, as I think our whole day would have been very different in the rain!”

Coming out in to the lovely Spring day, we were showered with petal confetti before walking to private beach near the Chapel, followed by our friends and family. We rang the wedding bells which is considered as a symbol of happiness and the celebration of our new life together. 

The whole day was so personal and relaxed. 

My favourite part of the day was the beach party right after the ceremony. The prosecco was flowing, everyone was in such an amazing mood, and we just got married - it felt quite surreal.
