-Wedding Report-

We've been married for four years, but we missed the timing for our wedding
The couple thought they didn't need to do it.
The parents said, "It will be a memorable experience, so why don't we just hold the wedding ceremony?"
With that one word, I decided to have a wedding.

If you're going to do it, what kind of day do you want to make it?
Preparing for the wedding with the planner
What they felt after talking together and facing each other

We've been together for 10 years and married for 4 years.
That I don't talk enough
There is still a lot we don't know about the other person
Things I thought I understood but actually didn't understand at all
To some extent
Because we've become friends and can understand each other without saying anything
What do you really think?

Feelings that you don't encounter in your everyday life
I want to feel emotions during my wedding
"I want to know more about myself and the other person"
"I want to know more about the important person in my partner's life and I want to like them too."

Because a wedding is the day in your life when you can be the most honest
To express my feelings
I want to cherish being honest and true to myself

That's how their wedding started.

- Get Ready -

Accommodation wedding

MARUFUKURO a renovated former Nintendo headquarters
The wedding ceremony for the couple begins at this hotel.
On the day before the wedding, the couple talked about memories with their loved ones.
For those who want to relax, we chose a wedding with lodging

Hair & Makeup

A dark lip color that you don't usually wear
Taking advantage of the bride's fair skin
Finished with purple blush

A short bob style makes you look more mature

Not an extension of everyday life.
A completely different atmosphere
Hair and makeup to fulfill the bride's dream on her special day
And finally, the moment I put on my costume
It's like the person I see in the mirror is shining differently than usual
You can look forward to your wedding even more
It's time

-Ceremony-

At the couple's request, no friends attended the wedding ceremony.
For family and relatives only

When I learned about my family's feelings during the preparation for my wedding
Forgotten memories with my family
The resurrected couple
"That time too." "This time too."
That was the love of a parent.

So at the wedding, we had to ask each other's parents
Each of them read the letter.
From the two of you
"Thank you for everything" "I look forward to working with you in the future"
And above all
I want to convey, "I'm so happy right now"
So that your feelings reach the person you want to convey them to

I knew that you raised me with care,
The two of them had vaguely thought so.

But it was clear through the wedding
Because I knew what my parents thought
Instead of just writing a letter,
In person, at a special, once-in-a-lifetime location
I decided to share my thoughts

The Sodoh Higashiyama Kyoto Gate
The overwhelming green I felt the moment I left
The couple felt special and out of the ordinary

The soft sunlight filtering through the greenery
Blending into the scenery
Everyone's spirits are lifted up
He felt that this was the kind of place it was.

There were many attendees who came from far away.
Experience the atmosphere that Japan is proud of in Kyoto
A place that is typical of Kyoto, as can be felt from the venue.
To everyone too
With the hope that you can forget about your daily routine and have fun
The couple has chosen our hotel

- Flower coordination -

The chairs at the main table for the two of you
We deliberately use chairs with different designs

The two of you grew up in different environments with different values.
It's the moment we become a family, after all.
Although the chairs have different designs
It seems to fit together nicely when placed side by side.
May your times overlap and become one.
With this in mind:

I am not using any particularly rare flowers.
Accentuating the silhouettes of each piece
Bring out the individuality of the flowers themselves.
The curve of the flower itself is its own unique features.
Value the form

The importance of being natural
Striving to bring out the beauty
The organizers carefully created the venue

-Party-

From the reception
A party with friends and colleagues

I want to know more about the important person in my life.
And I want to cherish myself from now on too.

Also, I missed my friends who I haven't seen in a while.
The couple told me they wanted to talk a lot.
Because they value encounters and connections with people
The production will feature only guest interviews.
A time to spend time with everyone, focusing on pleasant conversation

The moment the door opened
The bride was moved to tears by the smiles of her loved ones
A groom who smiles naturally
The reception began with a toast.
It was a time filled with lots of laughter and friendly conversation.

-Food-

As a token of hospitality to all of you, the food
A very particular couple
With a toast
The kitchen doors at The Higashiyama venue, all open at once
The food offered is.
Keeps the temperature the same when hot
The moment when the gorgeous-looking meal was served
The space naturally became filled with smiles and conversation

The second half of the reception
We will continue our conversation with everyone from the first half.
The couple spent their time together cherishing each other

But I've always had this thought in my mind
But I can't say it normally.
I can't hear
I really wanted to know
And I thought I could only hear about weddings.
The feelings of the parents who care for the two of you
The couple took the time to express their feelings for each other.

Because it's the day in your life when you can be the most honest
I gained courage and was able to express my feelings.
The feelings of everyone in the venue
It's time to come together.
And for the two of you, there are many words and thoughts
It has become an important part of their lives.

The wedding is over
Once again, how did you feel about your wedding?
We asked the two of them

The time spent with the people I love
I think the only thing left is a wedding.
I feel like it was a very important time in my life.
I'm not usually the type to express my feelings that much.
So I always get scolded for that.
However, I didn't propose to her.
I have been regretting it for a long time.
What I was able to convey at the turning point of the wedding
I will never forget the happy look on the face.

In preparation for the wedding
About the other person and the future.
And I remembered all the people who were important to me.
When I saw everyone's faces at the wedding, I thought
"I'm glad I married this person."
What does "I'm looking forward to my future life" mean?
It was a time when I really felt love for those around me.
The words my husband tried so hard to convey to me
It still comes to mind sometimes.
