Studio wedding photo taken before the wedding day.

On January 1st., 2013 my wife Yeu Tin and daughter Melissa left Toronto for Japan for Melissa preparation in Towada, Amori, Japan for her upcoming wedding to Takehiro Muranaka. The two had been dating for at least three years with all of Melissa's close friends knowledge except the parents. Even her brother Nathan knew about it and had met Mr. Muranaka in Japan on his first to Japan.

Not surprisingly my wife and I were kept in the dark about their relationship because, I left Melissa Tee strict instruction not to have a Japanese boyfriends. Since Melissa share characteristic as me (her dad) I am not at all surprise that she will end up marrying a Japanese in Japan regardless of my wishes.

Her wedding in Japan on Sunday, January 6th. 2013 was amazingly well organized even thought Melissa was at home in Canada for most  of the December and November 2012 period. Well, it paid to employed a wedding planner in Japan to run the whole show because they sure did a excellent job for the wedding.
