[Marriage Registration] Once submitted, it will never return!

A crucial document for officially declaring the two of you as a married couple, the marriage registration.

As you gaze at the marriage registration, you might be savoring the happiness of finally getting married...!

Once you submit the marriage registration, your surname will change, and you will truly be a couple in both name and reality.

The marriage registration is not just a document; it is something very meaningful for all brides-to-be.

That being said about the marriage registration...

Once submitted to the authorities, you will not have a copy left. Therefore, once it leaves your hands, you will never be able to see it again.

That’s why it’s recommended to take lots of photos of it before the submission day!

In this article, we will introduce classic photo poses and ideas related to the marriage registration.*

For brides-to-be who have not yet registered, please use this as a reference♡

Want to capture before submission! Commemorative photo of the marriage registration ① Together with the bridal rings

The bridal rings, like the marriage registration, symbolize marriage.

It’s a classic idea to take a commemorative photo by placing the engagement ring and wedding band side by side above the three characters of "marriage registration" (婚姻届)♡

If you don’t have an engagement ring, many couples tend to place the wedding band above the two characters of "marriage" (婚姻) instead.*

The "thumb shot," which is also popular in pre-wedding photo shoots♩. Each person wears a ring on their thumb, and draws faces with a marker, making for a playful and adorable idea.

The key is to give them glasses or a mustache, and draw the faces to resemble the couple.

If you want to announce your marriage on social media but feel a little shy about showing your faces, this cute photo could be a good alternative♡

The most classic pose is to both hold either end of the marriage registration.

Many might have seen this in friends' wedding announcement posts!

While photos are often taken facing forward, taking a photo where you're gazing at each other like this is also romantic and wonderful♡

Many couples take pictures just before submission at the city or ward office, but it's also recommended to capture them during an engagement photo shoot before registration♡

When uploading to social media, don't forget to hide personal information with stamps etc.
