I realized recently that I'd yet to finish posting about my brother-in-law Shogo's wedding to Namiko. My flow had been interrupted by the sudden idea to make a photo book for them, and I neglected to pick it up even after posting the candid bride portrait last month. This post continues from “Reception, Part V: Entertainment”, and completes the story.
And what comes after the entertainment? Dessert.
Of course, the main feature is the wedding cake.

The bride and groom stood by the table and handed out cake as the guests filed by, after which the guest could add additional tasty treats from the ample spread on the next tables...

After dessert, Shogo and Namiko made some speeches of appreciation to their folks, and presented the mothers with Teddy bears embroidered with their (the now newly-wed child's) name, birth date, and weight; each bear was made to weigh exactly what the child weighed at birth.

(They felt much heavier than a newborn, though, because you see a Teddy bear and expect it to weigh accordingly.)

is much easier than bearing the child they're meant to represent

I think this ranks up there with the candid bride portrait as the best picture of the event
because Shogo's radiating confidence is so full of awesome

Dawdling with the camera, as I tend to do, I was the last one to leave.
