Once Chie and I had arrived at the reception we gathered all the guests on the top deck for a balloon release.

Me and Chie getting ready to release balloons...
|
...here we go...
|
Not sure if you can make out here, but Chie and I are pulling on that long cord which sounds the ship's horn.
|

|

|

|
...off they go!
|
Sky filled with balloons.
|
Can't really see that many now...
|

|

|

|
They're all off in the distance now, floating over Miyajima.
|
Lots of general merriment and picture taking.

|
Almost everyone who attended the wedding is squeezed into this shot.
|
Same again but with most people waving.
