The wedding of Princess Ayako, the third daughter of the Takamado family, has been held*

On October 29, 2018, the wedding of Princess Ayako, the third daughter of the Imperial Takamado family, was held at Meiji Shrine.

Princess Ayako was born in 1990 and is 28 years old.

She currently works as a researcher at the Faculty of Welfare of Josai International University, her alma mater.

Her partner is Keisuke Moriya (32), who works for Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha.

He is a returnee who spent his kindergarten years in Paris, France, and is an elite graduate of Keio University!

The two met in December 2017 at a party held at the Takamado residence.

Congratulations on your marriage!*

〔The Japanese Princess〕 A beautiful outfit in traditional kimono*

On the day of the wedding, it was a splendid autumn day, as if celebrating the union of the two.

The groom, Moriya's relatives, came to pick up Princess Ayako at the Takamado residence and took her to the wedding venue, Meiji Shrine.

At that time, Princess Ayako was wearing a traditional Japanese outfit, uchigi, and a long hakama.

This is a dress connected to the Heian period.

The fabric is cream-colored with patterns of green leaves and paired parrots, which suits Princess Ayako very well!*

Her hairstyle follows the "osuberakashi" style, passed down in Imperial weddings.

This hairstyle, also from the Heian period, has a noble impression with a heart shape that expands on both sides.

The wedding ceremony showcased her long hakama in red*

Subsequently, during the wedding ceremony, Princess Ayako changed into a red uchigi with long hakama.

This bridal attire features an impressive long hemline that trails behind.

Meanwhile, the groom, Moriya, appeared in morning dress.

The two together create a wonderful blend of Western and Japanese styles!*

The silk top hat he holds is said to belong to Princess Ayako's late father, Prince Takamado.

Princess Ayako mentioned, "It is very regrettable that my father is not here, but I want to convey that I will strive to be a couple like my parents."

The evening reception gown is also wonderful*

The following day, October 30, a wedding reception dinner was held at the Hotel New Otani*

Approximately 70 guests attended, including the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko, and Prime Minister Abe.

The lineup of guests at the main table where the couple sat was very luxurious.

Princess Ayako wore a soft pink evening dress adorned with white lace.

It was said to have been originally made by designer Norio Suzuki, who is favored by the Takamado family.

This dress has a special meaning for both families!*

The late mother of the groom, Moriya, had worked for the NGO "Children Without Borders," providing support to developing countries during her lifetime.

During her activities, she once gifted silk fabric from Cambodia to the Takamado family,

and this was used as the material for the dress at the strong wish of Princess Ayako and her mother!*

The white tulle lace was a gift from the Moriya family to commemorate the engagement, and the little flowers on it are orange blossoms (which symbolize the joy of the bride).

It is a lovely and elegant dress, beautifully tied to both families!♡

The hairstyle resembled a Rapunzel-like braid adorned with a tiara!*

The theme was "a hairstyle that won't overshadow the dress's flowers," and it was crafted with the hair and makeup artist together with Princess Ayako.

The reception dinner concluded with a calm, serene atmosphere, without cake cutting or performances.

The couple's seating was not at the elevated dais, but at a table with the guests (↓). Their humble and kind personalities shine through!*

The story of the ring that became a topic on Twitter is also wonderful*

Did you know about Princess Ayako's comments regarding her ring that became a topic of conversation in the press conference?

When a reporter asked, "Please show us the ring. Which brand is it from?"

Princess Ayako replied, "The wedding ring is not something I bought to show others, so I apologize."

We are curious about what kind of engagement ring it is! However, this modest reply became a talked-about moment for being very charming!♡

Even after leaving the royal family, may you have lasting happiness*

Princess Ayako is known to be bright and active, having served as the manager of the soccer team during her university days, while Moriya is said to be kind and gentle.

Although Princess Ayako will leave her royal status upon marriage, the couple will start their newlywed life in a condominium in Tokyo.

May Keisuke Moriya and Princess Ayako, who are blessed by the whole of Japan, have a long and happy life together!*
