Despite experiencing a long-distance relationship for about three years

Because you have been spending days where you cannot easily meet each other
By cherishing every moment we can meet
You have forged strong and deep bonds.

And then, on the 5th anniversary—
They pledged their future to each other on Mount Rokko, the same place where they confessed their feelings.
Congratulations on your successful marriage registration!

The reason these two were chosen was...
With Yasaka Pagoda, a symbol of Kyoto's essence, right before your eyes...

It was a day that began with such heartfelt emotions.

The moment they turned around, what overflowed from them was
The joy of being able to reach this day and
It was the most lovely smile, full of affection.

Overcoming the long-distance relationship where it wasn't easy to meet
I finally feel like I'm taking my first steps as a married couple.
It warms both of your hearts.

-Ceremony-

The couple chose this location for their vows
Gesshin-in is a special, historically significant temple that is not open to the public.

With the iconic Yasaka Pagoda of Kyoto right before your eyes...
Surrounded by an overwhelming amount of green
We will have the vast garden all to ourselves.

What the two of you wanted to give to your guests
This is a truly unique hospitality experience.

Every guest who visited
It makes you smile without even realizing it.
A warm and cozy time is about to begin.

On the beautiful veranda, just before the wedding ceremony
A warm moment unfolds between the groom and his mother.
"It was the most troublesome," he said, looking back fondly.
The jacket ceremony was performed by the mother.

While getting the final preparations done
It is filled with sincere gratitude towards their parents.

The person the bride walks down the aisle with is
My beloved father, who is a cheerful and fun mood maker.

Gently embraced by the veil-down ceremony performed by my respected mother.
With gratitude in my heart for my precious family
You can take one step at a time.

We have carefully woven together the stories up to today.
The journey of the two of you so far

In the heartfelt words we wrote to each other
With renewed determination, I will continue to live my life to the fullest.
I pledge to walk this path together with you.

Surrounded by a shower of sparkling smiles
Every aspect of the wedding ceremony was picture-perfect.

We didn't pack the wedding reception with overly formal events.
We value the relaxed atmosphere and close interaction with our guests.

A surprise moment presented by the groom to the bride.

"I wonder what's going to happen now."
The bride is a little excited and looking forward to it.

I have been by their side, watching over their journey up until now.
It was a warm message from a dear friend.

And then—
The groom appeared holding a large bouquet of red roses.

My gratitude for everything up until now and my joy at the surprise.
Our determination for the future we will walk together from now on

"Thank you for everything so far, and I look forward to your continued support."

Over the course of many years, you have nurtured a strong bond.
Only the two of you can create this.
It was a breathtakingly beautiful and heartwarming scene.

Adding color to this special day
What made it even more spectacular was
This is a sophisticated dress coordination.

We handle numerous world-renowned import brands.
This was only possible because of our partner clothing store, "TREAT".
Dresses of Destiny

First of all, the artistic asymmetrical draping is striking.
Monique Lhuillier wedding dress

The exquisite, not-too-white, silky white sheen
It perfectly accentuates the bride's beautiful waistline.

The outfit change featured a striking large floral design on the décolletage.
"TREAT Original" colored dress

The strength that emanates from the luster of silk
The tulle gives off a sweet, translucent shimmer.

Those contrasting textures blend together in an exquisite balance.
To bring out the bride's dignified beauty to the fullest.
It has become a truly unique style.

- Closing -

Surrounded by the beautiful scenery overlooking Yasaka Pagoda
A day spent wearing my favorite outfit

Surrounded by the deep greenery of the "Getsushin-in" garden, which is not open to the public.
This is only possible because you rent the entire building.
A day at SODOH, full of a private atmosphere

To your friends, to your family
And above all, to each other, who are irreplaceable to us.

Rather than exaggerated performances, a warm gaze and
Sincere words of gratitude were exchanged.
This concludes our discussion.
