Pixar Up Quotes

My biggest gripe about other people who are on the Pixar Up theme bandwagon is that they over use the, "You are my greatest adventure." quote.

First of all, NO ONE said that in Up.

No.

One.

Mr. Incredible is the one who said it, back in 2004 when the ENTIRE Incredible family was caught in Syndrome's force field chains on his secret island towards the end of the movie (about an hour and fifteen minutes in).

He was talking about how bad of a father he had been.
"I'm sorry. I've been a lousy father, blind to what I have. So obsessed with being undervalued that I undervalued all of you."

then he continues,
"So... caught up in the past that I... You are my greatest adventure, and I almost missed it."

BOOM!

Kinda makes me wonder if people even watched the movie.

I mean, I guess I can give them a little credit for at least getting the Pixar part of it right. But the amount of "You are my greatest adventure" prints available that have Carl and Ellie's house on it makes me confused.  It even made me doubt myself to the point where I read through the entire Up script to make sure I wasn't wrong.

And since I've made such a huffy-puffy statement about that, I will not be using it in my wedding.


Here's the list of quotes that I will be using.

- Adventure is out there!
- The Spirit of Adventure
- You and me, we're in a club now.
- Cross your heart. Do it! Cross it!
- You know, you don't talk very much. I like you.
- Stuff I'm Going to Do
- Thanks for the adventure - now go have a new one! Love, Ellie
- I have just met you and I love you.
- I was hiding under your porch because I love you.

1001 Cranes: 千羽鶴: The Struggle Part II

We are officially in the final countdown till the wedding with only a few weeks left.... And I'm only on crane number 362 right now....

The. Struggle. Is. VERY. Real. 

I'm folding cranes everywhere I go.

I even managed to get a few in before my final Wednesday night class!

1001 cranes: 千羽鶴: The struggle begins

In Hawaii, it's tradition for a Japanese-American wedding to have 1,001 gold cranes (千羽鶴), often used as the welcome board for the wedding reception, for the wedding.

This whole time, I thought it was a Japanese tradition, but after being to a fair share of weddings here in Japan, I realized it's a Hawaii thing.


The bride-to-be is supposed to fold 1,000 cranes (and the groom does one for good luck) to show she is hard working and diligent (so I've heard).

And now that I'm officially engaged, I figure I better get started!

Day One of being a Teyoncé to my Beyoncé fiancé. Lol

I decided since we don't know where we are moving and I'll have to bring the display back to Japan for our party here in Tokyo, I don't want to make the "traditional" size. 

Usually they use the regular size origami and the display ends up being the size of a movie poster. 

I decided to cut the regular origami paper into 16 squares so the display is easily transportable and won't take up too much room in our home wherever it may be. 

Crane number 1/1000

The struggle has begun!!
