Chantilly

Naoto & Mikiko's Wedding
July 6, 2007

Chateau de Chantilly is a beautiful castle about an hour outside of Paris. The grounds include the magnificent castle in addition to stables, a racetrack, and numerous gardens and smaller houses.

Naoto is a GSB classmate and met Mikiko in college at Keio University. She has been working in Paris for the last year, which is why the wedding was in France. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her wedding dress, it was fun taking pictures.

In addition to their families, each of them had about a dozen friends in attendance, including ten GSBers. We all met at a hotel in Paris to take a bus to Chantilly. We got to see the grounds and take pictures, then headed to the chapel for the ceremony. Naoto and Mikiko pulled up in a horse-drawn carriage for the intimate ceremony and reception at a small chapel on the grounds. We returned to Paris for a wonderful boat cruise on the Seine River for dinner and drinks.
