Description The other end of the bride in New Bride, Old Wood . Kimonos are wrapped so tight that she needed two assistants to help her step over the threshold of the gate, then work her way down the steps.

Good. That's the goal.

I see these tabi and it immediately takes me back to that moment. I wonder how the couple is doing now.

You don't wear flip flops with socks. You wear tabi with tabi socks, which are sewn so that the big toe is separate from the other toes (kind of like mittens). They're very comfortable. Some of my favorite socks to wear with regular shoes.

There is so much more to Japan than what is printed in that little book. I guarantee it.

Pretty

I love how you only concintrate on a small portion of the bride. There's a lot that can be missed when you gaze at a full picture.
O.o I'm glad I'll be wearing a dress when I get married in the future, I want to be able to walk on my own.

These are beautiful shoes. Have you packed tabi etc to take with you? You need to help teach people about Japanese culture when you're over there!!

We did not buy tabi. I do have a pair of Columbia Tabi ankle socks that I got at the Columbia store. I love 'em! Freaked out Mike's cousin when she saw them.
