Somebody hit me, please

I am once again contemplating attempting Seishirou's kimono from the wedding pic (curiously, is there a reason it's called that?)

This is bad. I swore I would never do those outfits, as I would kill both myself and my wallet getting them done. But...they're so pretty, and the dyeing and painting would be an intresting challenge...

...Okay. I'm going to go hit my head against something until I can convince myself that this is a Bad Idea.

Snk. Well, yes, it's the woman that wears the white kimono. Sei's wearing the man's.

I'd be a little curious if it was the other way around >.> Though these days, it's become...more of a suit-n-tie affair, hasn't it? I haven't really peeked deeply into Japanese weddings, not recently anyway.

Depends. A lot of weddings are done with the suit-and-tie, white dress, Christian-style because it's cheaper. Others have the shinto ceremony, but dress in Western clothing for the reception. I did a fair amount of research on it for a fic I'm writing, you see.. but I'm still looking for on more component ;).

I'm just amused that apparently a Christian wedding is the cheap way to go. Though, in my opinion, there's not a lot of...colour to it anyway. But anyway, sankyuu~ *^.^*

Well, given that more Japanese weddings cost around 30,000 dollars, if my calculations are correct. It helps that the guests are expected to give around 200-300 dollars each, I suppose.

Helps, if you have a Hellish list of people to invite. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
