Holy Matrimony (Part 5) Reception after the Reception / 結婚式 (パート5)二次会

With the formalities of the wedding ceremony and the reception being over, next on the agenda is the nijikai. Now, this is what an American would expect at the reception. Very informal, mostly a party for friends without the parents and relatives. Ken and Yukino's nijikai was held at a place called Tamariba in Shinagawa, which started at 7:00pm and lasted for another couple of hours. The bride and groom had another change of clothes, and their was a buffet, a drink bar, and a bingo game. The prizes given away were a gift certificates for Matsuzaka Beef, a voucher for Aesthetics, and gift certificates for a course meal at Ken and Yukino's restaurant, Kitamachi Utou which is located in a place called Ushigome Kagurazaka.


結婚式と披露宴が終わると、次あるのは二次会。二次会のほうはアメリカの結婚式の披露宴みたいな感じで、友達同士のパーティーの様な感じです。健とゆきちゃんの二次会は品川にある「たまり場」のレストランで行われました。夜七時から始まって、二時間位つづきました。新郎新婦がまたまた着替えて、二次会の場所に登場しました。おつまみもバイキング風で、酒も飲み放題。ビンゴもやりました。景品は松坂牛のギフト券、エステイのギフト券、健とゆきちゃんの店「北町善知鳥」のコース券、とか結構豪華な物いっぱいです。うちは当たりませんでした!

Ken is looking like a gangster in his white suit and shades.

健とゆきちゃんへ、末長くお幸せに!
