How they met

Two childhood friends who met when they were in kindergarten

They were classmates at the same school until the sixth grade of elementary school, and they had a faint love for each other.

Separated by the bride's transfer school

After that, we started to keep in touch around the time of the coming-of-age ceremony and started dating.

The groom says that he still remembers how she grew up to be beautiful while still retaining her old look.

After the reunion, even though it's been about 8 years since we haven't met, there's no big gap.

I feel like we share similar values

Encounter with THE ORIENT

The first time they came to THE ORIENT

In the fall of 2020, they stayed at our hotel while traveling in Kobe.

Japanese clothing photo shoot

There are many requests to leave photos in kimono, even though they won't be wearing it on the day of the wedding.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, so first of all, I want to make sure she doesn't have any regrets by wearing the dress she wants."
