In this article, we’ll share insights gathered from followers on marry's Instagram about "What kind of weddings have moved you or you thought were great??"

These are real and candid opinions from brides-to-be in the midst of their wedding preparations, so please use them as a reference♩

A friend's wedding where they spent money not on their dress or cake, but on the food, favors, drinks, and little gifts for guests.

It wasn’t just satisfying, but it also represented her personality.

I also took that as an example when budgeting.

The feather performance during my friend's outfit change entrance was absolutely beautiful!

So, I included a feather performance in my ceremony, even though my venue was completely different (*^^*)

I received so many compliments from guests saying it was wonderful! (^3^)/

It was the wedding of my beloved senior, and after the ceremony, there was a waiting time before the garden ceremony

where they served five types of drinks and three kinds of bite-sized tapas!

The food and drink during the banquet were more than enough; there was so much that I couldn't decide what to eat or finish.

Then in the garden, there was a surprisingly diverse dessert buffet!

It featured classic items like small cakes and puddings but was arranged irregularly,

making it feel like a treasure chest, and choosing from them was a lot of fun ✨

The favors were cute and primarily consumable, and I felt like I was being spoiled with how much they gave us! 😆💦

The performances weren’t particularly elaborate or unique, but there was no feeling of an inside joke; I thought it was a very well-balanced ceremony and reception.

This happened three years ago, and since then I've been invited to several weddings, but I have yet to encounter one that surpasses my senior’s wedding...!

As a former service staff member,

every wedding is, of course, beautiful and can bring tears, but during the reception exit scene, when the groom carried the bride in her dress like a princess,

I particularly thought, "This was such a nice wedding" when I saw both of them smiling brightly and moving confidently.

The guests were also very enthusiastic!

I cry every time I see the moment when the bride and groom hug their grandparents. Personally, I love that moment.

Also, the voices of "Congratulations!" from all the guests and the many applause sparkles everything up.

May all the gratitude be conveyed, making for a wonderful time.

It's easy to want various performances and to think, "I want to do this and that," but

I feel that a good wedding is one where there is consideration and thoughtfulness for the guests.

It’s better when—not just the bride and groom or the close circle—everyone enjoys the festivities together.

I had a special last bite from my parents!

Moreover, I secretly took a spoon (or fork) that we often used at home,

and surprised my parents on the day by saying, "Hey, is this spoon from home!?"

It was a spoon I used since I was little, so when my parents heard that while the emcee introduced it, we couldn’t help but get teary-eyed.

Seeing that, the guests felt warm and said, "I've never seen anything like this before" and were moved!

It’s often the case that only the close circle gets excited, leaving the unfamiliar feeling excluded, but

from the older guests, I heard, "If my child did something like this, I would be so happy," and "If I have kids, I will absolutely keep spoons like this (laugh)."

From peers, many reminisced, "I had a spoon like that too."

I once attended a wedding that invited only family and friends, and the homey atmosphere of the wedding was really wonderful! ❤

The time for table rounds was long, which allowed ample time to talk with the bride and groom, and we could take many pictures (๑>ᴗ<๑)

Additionally, during the first bite, it felt nice that they served us in a cake buffet-style, making me feel valued as a guest. 😍

Conversely, I have been to a wedding that had too many performances where there was no time to talk or take pictures, leading to a rush in the proceedings; I wanted to enjoy the food, but performance after performance kept starting, making it hard to eat slowly. 😭

It felt like it was more about them than the guests, which didn’t leave a great impression. 😢💔

I think having plenty of table round time where you can spend time with guests is the happiest aspect rather than special performances. (*´꒳​`*)

*Anonymous request.*

My sister at her wedding presented a song to her parents instead of writing a letter.

Since the bride is a music teacher, everyone was convinced by her singing voice. She sang "The Eyes of My Heart" by Kyu Sakamoto.

Before singing, the bride explained the reason for choosing a song rather than a letter, and the flow was very natural, creating a warm atmosphere.

Many attendees were moved to tears by her song, and it left a lasting impression.

At a friend's wedding, there was a ceremony without any speeches or performances!

The person who planned said the venue emphasized hospitality so they weren't allowed to have any, but

I felt like I could really focus on chatting and dining at our tables, and I was able to communicate a lot with the bride and groom,

So I remember that kind of wedding fondly. ✨

A cozy ceremony with just parents and family.

Of course, I’m happy about blessings from friends, but I believe that who I am today, being able to look forward to a happy future with my partner, is because of the encounters with my parents, siblings, and relatives.

A ceremony where I could talk casually with those people was the best wedding I could have wished for.

Hearing episodes that convey the family's closeness or seeing the exit escort warmed my heart and made me feel cozy ♡

In summary....???

☑️ The food is delicious

☑️ There is a variety of drinks

☑️ Lots of chatting

☑️ Expressing gratitude to the guests

Weddings of this type seem to be often regarded as wonderful!

While it's tempting to be particular about various performances, surprisingly, guests appreciate the simple, cared-for aspects.

Don’t overthink it; please create a wedding where guests feel comfortable! ♡
