As if a bride were some kind of an oni before she unites with a man, or something like that. Can someone give any more information on this? Thanks a lot, M. Hi minna-san,

Can someone give any more information on this?

Thanks a lot,

The nicest thing about the sacrament of marriage according to the Roman Catholic faith is that the marrying couple bless & grace each other as they exchange vows. But still, I wish we did a ramen reception rather than spending so much $$$.

We planned it in two weeks for Halloween and only wanted two people to come just to sign the papers but...our who family showed up anyway (about 20 people). We where all crammed into the judges office while she read a beautiful speech about love a commitment. We are planning on doing a ring exchange ceremony someday when we have the money.

Andrew-san has kindly alllowed me to post the photos on the web for you guys to see. Later I hope to have some video snippets I'm preparing for him. Maybe if you're good I can put his 日本語　presentation up as well after he does it next month. I quickly put this together. I'm amazed that the bride changed costume 3 times. White western style dress. tradition dress (back into white dress again) then a pink "bo-peep" style dress. http://www.shiawase.co.uk/jpod/wedding/ If ever I do this I think I want to opt for the Ramen Reception. I assume that the western style ceremonies have no religuos significance and are more about having a theme wedding. I wonder if the rings are a western introduction or was it always common in Japan? (I think the wedding ring was originally Roman) On western culture class. In my parents day it was neccessary to fast from midnight before recieving communion (catholic church). Therefore wedding ceremonies were held quite early and the reception was a wedding breakfast.

This is exactly the style of wedding ceremony I had. At Hirouen I drank too much because the guests poured bear, wine and sake into my glasses by turns! My face had turned entirely red when we took pictures in a new suits and dress. I saw the pictures in the web site Alan-san posted.

Seems like anything unusual that could potentially happen in Florida has already occurred. Interesting to hear all the different wedding styles as well as the differences amongst religions. The Christian weddings that I have attended typically have some scriptural readings as well as communion which includes the congregation. On a completely unrelated note, good luck to Japan in the Little League World Championship game later today. :D Peter-san, I don’t know how that happened. ;)
