A Japanese couple's ceremony is a significant milestone in their relationship https://www.pledgesports.org/guys-dating-sites/. In the past it was arranged by their parents, but nowadays it is mostly chosen by the couple themselves.

In the case of traditional Shinto ceremonies (, shinzen shiki), which account for around one in six marriages, a priest is in charge and the ceremony takes place at a shrine. The couple dresses in bridal kimonos and the bride wears a white headdress called a wataboshi that acts as a wedding veil. After the ceremony, the couple offers branches from a sacred tree and drinks sake.

During the reception, the pair gives tiny, elegant gifts to their visitors called hikidemono. Often they give cutlery, tableware, folding fans and sake cups. Additionally, they request that their friends include their wishes https://asiansbrides.com/japanese-brides in a specific book called Kodomo no dit. Gift cash, called goshugi, is commonly given in beautiful letters called shugibukuro and usually amounts to Y=30, 000 or more. This total is meant to represent the couple's upcoming money.

A couple's honeymoon can also be held in a overseas location that they choose themselves. This is especially true for the younger generation, who has been taught a wide range of Northern customs in their classrooms.
