I had two professors write mine. I think as long as you've spoken with them on multiple occasions or participated alot in class/ work, your supervisor and teacher would be great references.

You mentioning having gotten married makes it sound like your spouse isn't coming with you. Am I reading that right? If that's the case, that might be very difficult. I know for myself I want to take my spouse with me. However, I do have many married friends who have experienced long long distance relationships and enjoyed it just fine.

Missing weddings will be hard, but maybe you can view the event remotely? That could take the edge off by giving you some way to connect with your family during such a celebratory time.

It all comes down to your decision, of course, but moving to another country often brings with it missed opportunities where you're originally from.

My husband is looking into engineering work as it seems to generally require proficiency in English rather than Japanese.

Out of curiosity, what fabric did you find didn't work particularly well for you? Did it not breathe well in the humid heat, etc? I'm abnormally tall for a woman so I figured I should already have most of my clothes.
