On October 24th, 2009 Kyoshi James Morris and Sensei Lori Morris had the honor of hosting the wedding of their son Aaron T. Morris to Annie J. Stafford in the Shinpu-Ren Dojo. The school was draped in lavender and sage fabric with hundreds of white Christmas lights, and white roses with lilies. Annie wore a beautifully embroidered sage and lavender Ao Dai with a bouquet of roses and lavendar tiger lilies. Aaron was dressed in a Hakama with a chestnut brown silk top.
Annie’s father was the minister for the wedding, and in keeping with the spirit of the event , he wore Hanshi Vances all black Gi with the “Warriors for the Lord” emblem on the back. Students sat quietly in zazen position while the wedding commenced. A beautiful cake, drapped with cherry blossom twigs, and the Chinese symbols for double happiness, along with punch were shared by all. Afterward, the students put on a terrific showing for the bride and groom with sparring and grappling matches that went on into the night. A very happy and proud event for Kyoshi and Sensei Lori to welcome Annie into the Morris family.
