Several days ago, I started finding yellow stains on my clothes. I'd be stain-free when I woke up in the morning, but by the end of the day, I'd look down and see a yellow stain somewhere on my shirt. Sometimes it was just a faint suggestion, other times it was a big stripe of yellow. They started appearing on my husband's shirts too, mostly on the shoulders. And the stains wouldn't come out in the wash.
I stalked myself for days trying to catch the Yellow Stain Culprit. But I came up with nothing. Then I started tracing our activities over the past week, before the yellow stains arrived.
We had been to a Japanese friend's wedding, an event in which about 60 people were invited to a ceremony and reception so elaborate, you'd think it was being put on for hundreds of VIPs. With a wedding cake the size of Tokyo Tower, several cocktail dress changes by the bride, and loads of flowers on pedestals everywhere, you wonder why these weddings stop at just 60 guests.
