The everlasting vow



　The mysterious gate is opened.
　There may be delight on the way. And probably sorrow?

　Yes. There will be all there.




　Please do not untie the knot.
　Please share all.

　There is all in your hands.




　Ambages pleases you two.
　It is not pains by any means.

　Slowly... 　So. You two had better walk it gently.


　Japanese wedding customs

    The color of attire of those who are in the procession are mostly white, red and black, which are simply beautiful against natural wood color of the shrine and show purity, joy, and dignity.

    Happy wedding!
