Wedding party report

The bride is from Kobe, and the groom is from Chicago, USA.

The groom came to Japan because he was interested in Japanese culture and wanted to learn Japanese.

He met his bride there and registered his marriage, adding a new member to his family.

Hospitality was prepared so that guests from overseas could enjoy themselves.

Introducing a warm and intimate family wedding

First Meet

The groom was in tears even before the bride entered the room.

"A flood of emotions is truly overwhelming.

All the meaning of the planning I had worked hard on while raising my child for several months

The reality that it was for the upcoming wedding...

You're just a few seconds away from meeting your once-in-a-lifetime, absolutely beautiful partner.

Just thinking about it brought tears to my eyes.

Bride's outfit

Dress: Neta Dover

Earrings: A.B. ELLIE

The delicate jewels, and carefully sewn fabrics are beautifully incorporated.

Although it is a Middle Eastern brand, its designs are not limited to Middle Eastern sensibilities.

Dress episode from coordinator

A bride with an elegant and graceful atmosphere

This is a dress we wanted to recommend to brides who are looking for a sophisticated yet elegant look.

Try it on and you'll see the delicate tulle spreading out at the hem and the silhouette of the hip line.

The client was also impressed by the beauty of the delicate bijoux from the Middle Eastern brand and decided to choose them.

Why did they choose THE ORIENT?

It is a hotel that represents Kobe, and I liked the chic and luxurious interior with a touch of Japanese elegance.

We had guests from overseas and superiors who came from far away,

The staff were very welcoming, so we decided on THE ORIENT has a classic and prestigious atmosphere."

Reception

After the kids went to bed, the couple welcomed their guests with handmade items they had worked hard on together every night.

The profile book will feature Q&As with the couple in both Japanese and English so that guests from both families can enjoy it.

Wedding ceremony

A heartwarming ceremony for a family of three

Can the ring boy reach the altar without taking any detours?

Guests were asked to vote in advance on a multiple choice quiz, and the appearance of the ring boy created a lot of excitement.

The wedding kiss was a family kiss with the firstborn son between them

The moment they kissed, the guests clapped their little hands, creating a heartwarming scene.

The vows we kept secret from each other until the day arrived

Surprised that the content was the same by chance.

A touching ceremony filled with love that moved both parents and guests to tears.

During the wedding ceremony, there will be an open letter ceremony in which guests will open letters that they have in their hands.

Each individual wrote a letter, reflecting on their unspoken thoughts and feelings of family love and gratitude towards the guests, and read them aloud at that moment.

It was an irreplaceable experience to see that expression in front of me.

Flower coordination

Flower designer Noritaka Igarashi was in charge of the venue decoration.

The main color is "WHITE"

Without using gypsophila, request Phalaenopsis, Anthurium, and Calla lilies that create an impact with just one flower.

A single large white flower stands out in a simple and beautiful atmosphere of the arrangement.

As the sun sets towards the end of the party, the candle arrangements envelop the scene in an enchanting atmosphere.

The party venue is "The Terrace Room" on the 4th floor.

The party begins in a bright atmosphere with natural light streaming in.

I prepared both English and Japanese translations of the speeches from my friends.

Offer hospitality to all guests with bilingual presentations.

There was also a moment when the groom's childhood friend greatly entertained the audience with his American jokes.

After the cake cutting and first bite, there was a relaxed photo session with plenty of time for conversation.

Change clothes and exit

The couple was escorted by their grandmothers for a costume change and made a surprise exit.

The couple has been close with their grandmother since they were little.

Seeing your grandchildren in their best attire brings a smile to your face.

Changing dress

Dress: Jenny Packham

A brand renowned for its jewelry design expertise, which also creates costumes for the British royal family.

A dress that combines brilliance and beauty, as if adorned with jewels all over the body.

Dress episode from coordinator

The second dress made my eyes sparkled the moment I put it on.

They felt an unprecedented sense of excitement they had never experienced before.

Despite the elegant curve of her hipline and the jewels adorning her entire body,

Not too gorgeous, but rather sophisticated and natural.

Spending time in close proximity with guests and playing with children

It was a perfect fit for the couple's image of an intimate wedding.

A family of three re-enters from the beautifully lit private terrace after sunset.

The guests erupt in a big cheer.

A stylish style with just white roses

Announcement of the correct answer to the ring bearer quiz and lottery drawing at the wedding ceremony

The winning guest will receive a present from the couple themselves.

Spending time with guests I haven't seen in a while

Warm congratulations from the groom's host mother

We chose dishes that would please the groom's father, who is a chef.

"Kobe Original" course using fresh ingredients from Hyogo Prefecture and focusing on locally produced food

The fresh ingredients that can only be found in Kobe, a land of both sea and mountains.

We welcome you with a menu that makes generous use of nationally famous ingredients such as Akashi octopus and Kobe beef.

Even our food-conscious guests finished the whole thing and praised it for how delicious it was.

The couple made preparations with the utmost importance placed on "expressing gratitude"

We will also convey the gratitude that is difficult to convey to your family on a daily basis.

A touching scene where hugs naturally emerge

Thoughts after the party

"It's really hard to prepare while raising a child, and I'm getting ready just a few hours before the day.

It was a very hectic time, but the two of us chatted every night and made preparations.

The excitement before the ceremony started, and the fact that it went by in a flash once it started

We received many congratulations not only from the attendees but also from the staff.

After the ceremony, we stayed at THE ORIENT while basking in the afterglow.

Everything about that moment, including the emotions I felt, has become an unforgettable, irreplaceable memory.

Also, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and childbirth, we held our wedding a little late, two and a half years after getting married.

By reminiscing on memories together and thinking about each other,

Our bond and love as husband and wife has grown even stronger, so I'm really glad we had a wedding."

"We have had guests from overseas who have experienced American weddings, which are on a much larger scale in terms of time, number of guests, etc.

I was very happy when someone told me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever seen."

Message to the bride-to-be

"I know the preparations are really hard, but the wedding day will be a memory that will last a lifetime.

I'm sure it will be a very fun and happy day.

I hope you will enjoy the preparation process together with the groom."
