- The wedding party report -
The vibrant autumn leaves
A gentle morning that softly colors the streets of Saitama.
From my junior high school days in Fukushima
This day arrived thanks to a series of fortunate encounters.
The two of you have taken each step carefully.
Behind that unpretentious smile lies
To all the important people I have met so far
Straightforward and deep love
Amidst the many thoughts and feelings of approximately 110 people
The most lively and endlessly warm
It reflects the unique personalities of the two of you.
We will deliver an irreplaceable day to you.
A dignified bride who can manage her own mood.
Such a bride is to the groom
An irreplaceable presence that gently soothes the heart.
Meanwhile, the groom
She is like a best friend to the bride.
A reliable person to share your life with from now on.
Next to each other
A place where you can be yourself without any pressure.
"I am who I am today thanks to everyone I've met."
With those feelings in my heart
The two of them have carefully prepared every single detail.
The bond and feelings between the two of you will take shape.
A warm moment
It's starting now.
-First meet-
Waiting quietly for that moment
The groom's back
I was tapped on the shoulder.
Suddenly, I looked back
There she was, the most beautiful bride in the world.
We laughed together with the same warmth we had in middle school.
What was exchanged naturally was
A fist bump that's so typical of the two of them.
For this day
The bride had prepared a letter expressing her feelings.
The feelings expressed in the letter
A sense of undeniable security flows between the two of you.
It will gently fill your room.
