PARTY REPORTParty report from The Sodoh Higashiyama Kyoto

-Wedding Report-

Reasons for getting married
That's because you want to have a glamorous day.
It wasn't because I wanted to wear a dress.

The main reason the two of you chose to have a wedding ceremony was
"I want to walk down the aisle with my father."
Because I wanted to fulfill that wish.

To the family who has lovingly cared for me until now.
Words alone cannot fully convey it.
To deliver "thank you"

And they supported the lives of the two of you
Watched over by all of you who are so important to me
To take the first step as a new family

With so many thoughts and feelings in my heart, I began the day.
Not just smiles, but also tears and gratitude.
A precious time filled with love

- First meet -

I want to give today to someone important to me before anyone else.

Amid those feelings, the moment they laid eyes on one another.
The two of them couldn't help but smile.

The tension I had felt instantly melted away.
The familiar smiles of the two of them spread across their faces.

This smile is
It foreshadowed the happy day that was about to begin.

- Family meet -

To all my dear family members
The feeling of "thank you" that I wanted to convey most on this day.

In front of the happy couple
Smiles naturally spread across the faces of the family members.
Tears well up in her eyes.

Joy, sadness, and memories of the past──
A mix of emotions
It was a time when feelings were conveyed more than words could express.

Family Meet, surrounded by lots of love
It adds a special touch to the start of the wedding ceremony.

-Ceremony-

The couple chose this location for their vows
"Getsushin-in" is a special place that is not usually open to the public.

On this day, the only ones who stepped into this space were
In your lives up to now
It was only our dear family members who have walked this path with us.

In a space enveloped in silence, smiles and tears
A gentle gaze overflows, and every ordinary moment
It will transform into an irreplaceable moment.

The bride made her entrance in such a special place.

"I want to walk my daughter down the aisle someday."
On this day, his father's long-held wish will finally come true.

A little embarrassed, though…
While gently holding back the tears that were about to overflow
Step by step, matching the bride’s pace.
Our revered father walks as if savoring each step.

On its back were the years that had been carefully nurtured and
"I hope you'll be happy."
It contained feelings that could not be put into words.

The expressions on the faces of the family members watching over them were also filled with emotion.
Surrounded by gentle smiles and tears
The whole venue is filled with a warm, loving atmosphere.

The atmosphere that can only be created when it's just your family.
Emotions that can only be shared with family.

This moment shared at Getsushin-in
This will be deeply etched not only in the hearts of the two of you, but also in the hearts of everyone.
It was an irreplaceable time.

The form of vows you two have chosen is
A letter addressed to each other

"We want to protect a place where people can return to with peace of mind."

For all the kindness you’ve shown me so far,
From now on, I’d like to give back.

While taking each other's words at face value
We pledge to each other the future we will walk together.

- Wedding Reception -

The show began with an opening movie.
Wedding Party

The toast will be given by
The father who has warmly watched over his daughter until today.

A gentle "Cheers!" as a signal
Precisely because it’s a family-only reception
Smiles and conversation fill the room
Warm moments begin here.

Because it's a wedding reception just for family members
We value the time we take to listen to the thoughts and feelings of each and every person.

Childhood memories and wishes for the two of you
Your honest feelings on this day

The audience was warmed by the nostalgic anecdotes shared with laughter.
Some family members were moved to tears by the overwhelming emotions.

Every time we exchange words
Your family's deep love and bond are evident.
Each and every thought given to the two of you
It gently enveloped the venue.

The tree-planting ceremony was held with the family members present.

The moment when soil is poured onto a single tree
The two families begin their journey together as one family.
That was the wish behind it.

At the conclusion of the reception
A message from the couple to their families
A thank-you video was sent.

To carry on that spirit
The bride expressed the gratitude she had kept hidden in her heart until now.
It was also expressed in their own words.

The family gently wipes away tears, while the couple watches over them tenderly.
The years we have walked so far
I am reminded once again of the enduring bonds of family.
It was a moment that left a deep impression on me.

At the conclusion of the reception
All guests watched the final video together.

Every time a video reflecting on the day is shown
So many smiles and memories come flooding back.

Unable to hold back the tears, they streamed down the groom's cheeks.
The bride smiles as she gazes at him gently.

From the expressions on their faces and the warm gaze of their family
I hope this day will be a good one for everyone.
What became an irreplaceable memory
It was a conclusion that conveyed the message most effectively.

Your friends also came to celebrate.
The two of them exchanged words
Words of congratulations and lots of smiles

Loved by family and friends
It could only have been created by the two of you.
A warm and inviting landscape unfolded before me.

Today, a day I shared with the people I cherish
For the two of you and for everyone
May these memories never fade.
