wedding highlights include a candle ceremony where the couple holds a candle while greeting their 
guests at each table, and the cutting of the wedding cake. Afterwards, the bride and groom thank 
their parents with a speech, then leave to end the party. 
In the past, dishes that supposedly brought good fortune, such as prawns and sea breams, were 
served in abundance. So much of the food was ordered that guests ended up taking the surplus home. 
Today, the majority of the weddings serve just enough for everyone. Additionally, before leaving, 
guests would traditionally receive souvenir gifts called hikidemono. 
Many wedding ceremonies take place at wedding halls or hotels. Rough estimates show that

overseas weddings and flamboyant receptions with special effects, such as smoke machines and 
having the bride and groom fly in on gondolas, were very popular. But these days, couples choose 
to tie the knot in various ways, from not having any ceremony to having a modest affair, or still 
going all out.
