Punctuation is a No-Go at Weddings!

Using punctuation marks to make sentences readable and understandable is a basic rule learned in elementary school!

Punctuation marks are:

Sentence-ending punctuation... the "maru" (。).

Comma... the "ten" (、).

Sentences lacking appropriate punctuation are considered difficult to read and make it hard to understand what is being conveyed.... However!!!

In the special setting of a wedding, it is actually a no-go to use punctuation marks in writing!

This is knowledge that many people learn only when they become brides-to-be, even after 20 to 30 years of life.

There are many special rules, taboos, and manners related to ceremonial occasions. As a bride-to-be, be sure to understand wedding etiquette and prepare for the ceremony without making any blunders♩

Why is using punctuation a no-go?

The reason for not using punctuation marks like a period or a comma at weddings stems from the belief that:

"One does not put a full stop to celebrations."

This is akin to expressing "the event is coming to an end" as "the event will now conclude" during a reception or after-party.

Words that evoke an ending are taboo regarding the auspicious occasion of marriage.

Once you think about it, it makes sense, doesn't it?

So, what should I do if I want to use punctuation?

However, even so, sentences can be hard to read without periods and commas.

Therefore, to enhance readability, you can adopt the following strategies:

① When finishing a sentence, instead of using a "。", start a new line from the next line.

※ At this time, there is no need to indent like you would when starting a new paragraph!

You can write left-aligned or center-aligned.

② When you want to separate sentences, instead of using a "、", leave a space.

※ Use a full-width space, not a half-width one.

Using a full-width space is considered auspicious because it symbolizes expansion*
