Friends celebrate tsunami survivors' wedding

KESENNUMA, Japan - Groom Takanobu Onodera, 39, and his bride Maki, 31, who survived the March 11 tsunami together, are congratulated by family members and friends after their wedding ceremony, prepared by friends on May 4, 2011, at a chapel in the tsunami-struck city of Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture. The two had given up on having their wedding after the disaster that swept away Onodera's home and caused them to lose their jobs, but their friends made arrangements for the ceremony to be held.
