Japanese traditional and modern marriage methods (details)

Japanese weddings are very particular and cost a lot of money. Despite the continuous progress of Japanese society and the continuous modernization of the country, the Japanese still retain the traditional concept of wedding.

Pay the most attention to the right collocation.

In Japanese eyes, marriage is not only a lifelong event for both men and women, but also a family event for both men and women. Therefore, when people consider getting married, they always pay great attention to whether men and women are "suitable". Children from wealthy families will be recognized and helped by their parents and families more smoothly only when the status and wealth of the married family are roughly equal to their own.

Wedding ceremonies in Japan include pre-divine wedding, pre-Buddha wedding, Christian wedding and pre-human wedding. It is more popular to get married before marriage and at home now.

City: premarital marriage

Marriage before marriage is a new form, which is held in hotels, restaurants, restaurants and other public places, neither in front of the Buddha nor at home. Accompanied by the guarantors of both parties, the bride and groom came to the marriage registration office, filled in the registration form, signed and sealed it, and obtained legal recognition. Later, the bride and groom or their parents send out invitations two or three weeks in advance. In the past, the people invited to the wedding were mainly parents, brothers and sisters and other relatives. In recent years, it has gradually expanded to friends, leaders of work units and colleagues. The wedding is a rare opportunity for the bride and groom to thank these people for their love, cultivation and support in the past.

At the wedding, the bride and groom wore luxurious dresses and held flowers to welcome the guests. All the guests at the wedding are wearing holiday clothes, especially the bride's girlfriend, which makes the wedding ceremony icing on the cake. The guests warmly congratulated the bride and groom in turn, and some even sang and danced for the wedding. In the beautiful song, the bride and groom are intoxicated with the joy of their wedding. With the blessing of relatives and friends, the groom presented flowers to her mother-in-law, and the bride presented flowers to her mother-in-law. Both sides thanked each other's parents with the most sincere feelings and simple words, saying that they would always remember their kindness in raising their loved ones. When the wedding draws to a close, the bride and groom want to say goodbye to their parents who raised them. At this point, the mother is holding her son, and the mother is holding her daughter, urging and urging, tears streaming down her face, sincere and incomparable. The jubilant wedding banquet suddenly became unusually silent, the music disappeared, the conversation stopped, and the sound of bowls and chopsticks stopped. All the guests were watching this tearful parting, and many people were moved to tears. At the end of the wedding, the bride and groom bid farewell to the guests and return gifts to each guest. Most of the gifts are a set of cosmetics, a tea set or a pack of sweets and snacks. After the return ceremony, the ceremony of "three drinks and three wines" was held in the cheers, applause and blessings of the guests, that is, the bride and groom drank three drinks and three wines with three pairs of glasses, three drinks per cup. After drinking, the bride and groom, surrounded by guests, left the wedding hall and returned to their respective homes.

Country: Family and Marriage Style

Most family weddings are held in the man's home.

On the wedding day, the bride's family will hold a "farewell banquet" to entertain close relatives and friends. When the bride leaves her front door, people "sweep away" her footprints with brooms, or break a tea bowl at the door, or even hang white lanterns in front of the door to show that the bride will live in harmony after marriage and never return to her family. When the bride was escorted by relatives and friends to the groom's door, the groom was already waiting there with relatives and friends. At this time, the bride and groom will worship the water god, the fire god and the kitchen god: * * drink a cup of water mixed by men and women, both jump over a burning fire in the yard and walk hand in hand around the kitchen stove for three times. This custom is intended to be protected by water gods, fire gods and kitchen gods after marriage.
