    CK, I do admire the way you take photos. You must be a pro. And how I wish I could attend a Japanese wedding someday.

    I am here for WW, but I got distracted by the McDonald's pictures. Very interesting!

    The wedding procession is nice, too, of course. But does it compare to a Mega Teriyaki Burger?

    Happy WW!
