Wedding in Japan

Today, I want to talk about weddings in Japan!
But, I have never attended weddings, so I researched it!!

Usually, people can choose how to celebrate a wedding freely, regardless of  their religion.
Also, they can choose the place that their wedding is held.
Now, a hotel is more popular than a hall for wedding ceremonies because the hotel is bigger and more useful for  wedding receptions which is held after a wedding ceremony and many guests come.
Sometimes, the wedding ceremony is held in Disney Land :))
I think many girls have this dream, because brides can wear the Disney princess's dress!!!
But, it is too expensive:((
In addition, recently, `house-wedding' increased. This is like a party.

In Japan, the wedding reception is called `Hiro-en'.
There are a lot of important events in Hiro-en!!
For example, cutting a wedding cake and lighting candles which is on guests' tables by a groom and a bride, entertainments for them by guests and reading a letter to a bride's parents by herself.
The last one is the most moving event!!! 


And, I will talk about wedding ceremonies in Japan!
Most people choose Christian wedding and Shinto wedding.

Shinto wedding is Japanese traditional wedding.
This is called 'Shinzen-shiki'.
The place that this ceremony is held is usually a shrine, but it can be held in a hotel and a hall for a wedding ceremony.
A grrom wears a hakama, and a bride wears a white kimono.
In Shinzen-shiki, there are many rules during a ceremony.
I think it's very difficult to remember all rules...
When I visited a famous shrine for Shinzen-shiki, I saw this wedding ceremony!!
The bride was so beautiful :D

Now, I'm looking forward to attending my friend's wedding in the future^^* Of course, mine too!!
I want to wear both of a wedding dress and a white kimono:)))
