Hi, I'm Connie Suarez-Nistal, the Author of this Story...

Before we go to the wedding...I will start by introducing the characters of this story, and some scenes of...

Map of where this all happens...

Let me introduce you to the main character of the story: Keiko Nishi, born in Japan and raised in Australia. She is the Japanese Ambassador to Australia's daughter.

Keiko Nishi, 38 years old. Translator at UN in New York.

In her University days, with her friends.

At her Father and Sanae's wedding.

Ready for the ceremony:

Dressed in her beautiful Ivory colour Kimono. 

Picture taken in one of the beautiful Japanese Gardens of the Japanese Embassy in Canberra, Australia.

After the ceremony, she changed into a different style dress. Here, on her way to the venue... Celebrated in one of the spectacular halls of the Embassy: The Happy Crane.

At her best friend Elena's wedding, in Brisbane.

The bride, dressed in a very Spanish style dress, with her grandmother's very flamenco headpiece called 'Mantilla'. Keiko as her Maid of Honour.

Don't they look beautiful?

(They had changed one of the bride's white roses on her headpiece for a red one).

It was a very spanish style wedding.

Keiko enjoyed the wedding very much, and she even danced 'Sevillanas' with the bride.

She loves flamenco! Olé! 😉

During her Sabbatical Year travels...

ROME (Italy)

Throwing a coin at the 'Fontana di Trevi'...

a must when in Rome.

From Rome she left for The City of Light...

PARIS (France)

L'Arc de Triomphe.

Having a delicious Croissant... Yum!

When she went on a ride with Didier, the charming french playboy... in one of his cars...

On a very hot day...

Some shopping in the afternoon...

One rather cool day...

And here she is at her post, working in the casino...

Doesn't she look smart?

After six long months in Paris, where she had a wonderful time, she sets off to London!

Where, at first, the weather was a bit crazy...

But the following days... were so much better and sunny... and so hot!

She enjoyed London so much...

And she enjoyed getting to know the All Blacks (Rugby Team from New Zealand)!

Now... she was dying to go to Spain and meet up with her dear friend Elena...

Off to Madrid! Olé!

They went sightseeing, and shopping. They had delicious paella, as well as Chocolate with "churros" (a type of deep fried sweet dough).

They went to visit some monuments, and museums...

They had a wonderful time together.

Keiko promised her friend that she would visit more often. She really loved Madrid.

 There is a popular saying in Spain (well, in Madrid)

"From Madrid to Heaven!"

Olé!

From Spain, she said goodbye to her bestie, Elena, and travelled to Lisbon, Portugal.

Where she found the people to be so friendly, the food to be so delicious,

but the weather to be so hot!

But she also discovered that in Lisbon it rained and got cool too!

After her long stay in Europe, she decided to cross the Atlantic Ocean, all the way to New York!

Out and about in the Big Apple. A walk in New York!

Though rainy and cool, she felt like home!

And where she met... The man in the Trenchcoat! 😁

But now... let's meet Bruce!

On screen, telling the weather forecast. 

At different days...

Why don't we go to the moment they met...
