Robyn & Mike's Wedding

Japanese Mythology believed the crane live for 1,000 years. Japanese culture has treasured the crane as a symbol of honor, loyalty and peace. The crane is a majestic bird which mates for life and is extremely loyal and devoted to its mate.

The ancient practice of a man and woman folding 1,000 cranes for their wedding is call Sengazuru. The time an energy but into the thousand hand-folded origami cranes symbolized the patience, perseverance and trust necessary to sustain an happy marriage.

A couple who could weather the long, time-intensive folding process together, supporting each other, talking with each other for weeks while taking on a challenging task, was proving their ability to maintain a long term and content relationship. Therefore, a senbazuru at a couple's wedding symbolizes the expected longevity of their marriage.

Robyn and Mike chose the symbol of the Origami crane for their wedding reception theme. Together, they hand made over 1000 paper cranes which hung from the ceiling and decorated their cake. Miniature cranes were inside each favor box along with homemade soft caramel candies.

Through the process of making these 1,000+ cranes tor their wedding, Robyn and Mike learned some valuable lessons. One such lesson was that enormous undertakings cannot be done all at once, In fact, the job would seem overwhelming. But, if done a little at a time, if worked on everyday, pretty soon they would have accomplished something great. They believe the same principle will apply to their marriage and their future together.

Robyn and Mike, it was such a lovely pleasure assisting you with your wedding. The sea of floating cranes suspended from the ceiling, is a beautiful, memorable vision that is locking within my mind, and will remain there for a long, long time to come. Your warmth and attention to every detail made your wedding day extra special for everyone in attendance. I thank you for your friendship and the fabulous opportunity to work with you on your wedding.xoxo Liane
