The raw words
I was so happy.

1 year after wedding

First, I received a letter from Nakao, who was the planner in charge of the two. Please read it if you like.

Letter from the wedding planner

“At the second meeting, when I, the planner, presented the visual sheet, my heart throbbed. Originally, May 23rd, which was the day of the wedding, was the day of the love letter. Then, the schedule was changed to a year later, on May 22. Even after a year, the situation hadn't calmed down at all, and I was worried a lot about whether it was okay to have a wedding in such a situation and whether everyone would come. think·····."

This time, what kind of ceremony did you want to invite only your friends and relatives to the wedding, and what kind of thoughts did you have?

nobility

If anything, I think it was because of the coronavirus, but I didn't have the opportunity to get together with my friends regularly or get together with a large number of people, so I wanted to make it an opportunity to get together with friends for the first time in a long time, like a reunion, so I invited my friends. I think it was a feeling that I chose too many.

What kind of things were important at the wedding, and what kind of day did you want to spend?

Maya

I thought it would be nice to have a day where everyone can smile because all the people who think they are important to each other's lives so far will gather. There weren't many days when everyone got together and laughed, so I thought it would be nice if you could spend a day like that. I wanted to make it an enjoyable time for everyone.

On the day you actually met, were there any things or scenes that could actually give form to your feelings?

nobility

At the suggestion of the planner, there was a time when I wrote a letter to everyone. Since the time when the two of us were originally dating, we often wrote letters to each other, so I wrote them. Actually, I chose a fairly large paper, so it was difficult (laughs). I've been to a lot of people's weddings so far, but I thought that not many people would write letters in this size, so I was forced to write one week before the ceremony. But I was able to put my heart into writing each and every one of them, and I was able to write while thinking about things that had happened up until now, so I think I was able to get my point across.

Both of you said that you would write a letter to each other, but would it be to each other?

Maya

During the time we were dating, we were long distance, so we didn't get many chances to meet each other, so I wanted to be able to give him a letter when we could. We don't make any particular promises on birthdays or anniversaries, but we often exchange letters with each other. I felt really happy to be able to express my feelings by transcribing them into letters. So, I wanted to express my gratitude to the guests who came to the wedding in my own handwriting, so I did my best to write the letter.

When you think back on it now, what thoughts come to mind about your wedding?

nobility

After all, the best feeling is that I'm glad I did it. I couldn't do it in the form I originally envisioned due to the one-year postponement due to the coronavirus, but I don't think I would have been able to convey my gratitude without this opportunity, so I'm glad I did it. I want to do it one more time.

Maya

The first is the feeling of "Oh, it was fun". I think it was nice to meet you all.

What do you think makes the wedding a good thing?

nobility

When I look back at the video, it makes me feel like I want to go back to the basics, and I want to convey my gratitude to my family and friends more.

Maya

We've known each other for a long time, so I thought he knew a lot of things, but on the day of the meeting, there was also a friend of his who I met for the first time. So I could see his face saying that he was spending time with his friends like this, and I could see that he was loved by his friends. Once again, I thought that I want to take care of his important people. His relatives are also very close, and seeing everyone looking at him with a feeling of congratulations made me think that I also want to cherish this family. Seeing the faces of the guests taking good care of him made me feel glad that I did it.

I think you had a personal meeting during the meeting. And what time was it?

Maya

I vaguely decided "I want to have my wedding here" and "Who I want to invite", but when I was asked "Why are you inviting those people?", I was reminded one by one. At times like this, I think I'm grateful to people, and I think they're important. He also noticed something in the meeting in the same way. That's why I think it was a meeting that made us realize the important things in our lives from now on, regardless of the wedding.

nobility

Since I am close to my family and relatives, there are many family gatherings. That's also why she snuggles up with me and enjoys it. I think that part was passed on to her through the wedding.

Maya

When we talked about what kind of guests we wanted to invite, he was a relative, but through personal meetings, I learned that each and every one of them is a big part of his existence. I also felt a great sense of gratitude toward his relatives, and I thought that I would like to be dependent on his relatives as a daughter in the same way, and I felt that I wanted to spend time with the same sense of distance.

After the wedding, you received a message from a guest named ONE MORE YELL to the two of you through the internet. I think that the two of you were handed a letter to the guest at the wedding ceremony, and I think that there was a message in return because of the letter to the guest. How did it feel to be received?

Maya

I was so happy. Right after the ceremony, I received a lot of messages. I enjoyed reading it from the moment I finished it. The messages didn't stop until midnight. I really enjoyed the whole day of the wedding. Once again, it's rare to hear how you felt after a wedding. It felt like the writing clearly showed that the guests were sending what they felt in real time. Another day, it wasn't a sentence I wrote, but it was a letter that I'm sure she wrote down her feelings while returning home after the ceremony. Rather than sorting out my feelings, I was really happy to hear the raw words that you wrote about what you felt right now. That's why I really felt that it was a good thing that we wrote a letter to the guest and gave it to them.

What do you think would be different if the lives of the two who had a wedding and the lives of the two who couldn't have a wedding were parallel?

Maya

Due to the influence of corona, all the plans for the next few years were once blank, and when I wondered if I wanted to postpone it, I thought that there would be no change in being a couple even if I didn't have a wedding ceremony. There is also the option of not mentioning. We talked about various things at that time, and I learned a lot during the preparation period. I had heard of him saying, "I want to have a proper wedding ceremony for the people I care about", so I wanted to make it a reality. After all, when the day came, I realized that there were so many people who were blessing us. That's what I thought. After all, I thought it was good to make such a place. It was a very long preparation period, but I think that the love between the two of us and the guests deepened by being able to spend it together.
