Thank you so much for planning to come!
We hope this blog will, somehow, help you to feel more relax to attend the wedding.
Please select the contents from the left bar.
(Sorry for the PRs in Japanese...)
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Can't wait to see you there!!
Shiori & Masato
Can’t speak Japanese!! Can we survive?
Of course you can! No worry, the ceremony and reception will be in both Japanese and English, and you will have at least one English speaker at your table. Anything unclear? Ask Eiko, Nozomi or Wakko. Eiko is the mother of the bride. She is taking role of Shiori’s private bridal producer, especially in flower, dress, and paper item parts. Nozomi is Shiori’s best friend from college, working basically in the U.S.A. Wakko is a lovely friend of Masato and Shiori, who is dating with Iku, Shiori’s brother.
What is the proper clothes for your wedding?
I am asking my friends to wear the best for YOU. Shiori will be in the robe whole day and Masato will wear tuxedo. Most Japanese female guests wear dress, and male black/gray suits.
It’s typical in Japan that women wear black for wedding, but please wear something brighter at my wedding, if possible. (I’m asking the same thing to my Japanese girl friends.) Men, you don’t have to be in tuxedo, since most of our Japanese guy friend will be in their favorite black suits with white/colorful tie.
Most likely, white is the color to avoid, but if it’s the color of your choice, I will be happy to have the same/similar color with you! Someone might thing red should be avoided, but I like red ;)
Further questions? Please write emails to Shiori.
How many people will be there?
Are we supposed to pay, or give any gift on th
I’m asking all my friends coming from overseas (including my Japanese friends living overseas) not to pay. Your existence is the biggest and the most wonderful gift for us!
In Japan, it’s the typical way to bring wedding tip, called “oshugi,” in a special beautiful envelope. Our Japanese guests will give the envelope at the entrance of the restaurant. Three of my friends will be there at the entrance, with the guest list; please just let them know your name.
