"Modern Dual-Income Couples Might Prefer This! ♡ Have You Seen the 'Simultaneous First Bite' Ceremony?"

Classic Performance "First Bite" ♡

One of the classic performances using a wedding cake, the "First Bite" where the couple feeds each other cake ♩

From the groom to the bride: "I will feed you for a lifetime♡"

From the bride to the groom: "I will make delicious meals for you for a lifetime♡"

It is a sweet, traditional performance filled with meaningful messages＊

Doing the First Bite Simultaneously!?

This First Bite performance is typically done alternately, with the groom feeding the bride, then the bride feeding the groom.

However, recently, more brides have been seen doing a simultaneous feeding exchange called 【Simultaneous Bite】, where they feed each other at the same time＊

Here’s an actual photo♡

At the moment of "Here’s the First Bite, enjoy!" they are feeding each other together♩

The significance of doing the First Bite simultaneously is to convey the message of "let's work together and do our best as a couple."

It moves away from the traditional gender roles of the past where "the man works and the woman keeps the home," representing a modern message of an equal partnership in a dual-income household: "Let’s work together and do our best!"＊

There are other attractions to doing the simultaneous bite, so let’s introduce them♡

Appeal of Simultaneous Bites ① Time-Saving!

Normally, when doing a First Bite, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes since the groom feeds the bride and then the bride feeds the groom alternately.

However, with simultaneous bites, the time is reduced by half, often finishing in about 3 to 5 minutes＊

By minimizing the time spent on performances, the newlyweds can spend more time chatting with their guests♡

Appeal of Simultaneous Bites ② Not Embarrassing!

When doing alternating First Bites, all guests' attention focuses on the one being fed.

Many brides feel that their faces don’t look cute while being fed and would prefer not to stand out…!

With a simultaneous bite, both the bride and groom feed each other, so guests will be looking back and forth, making it less likely for anyone to focus solely on your eating face, which is a nice point!

Eating cake in front of a large crowd can be slightly embarrassing, but with him, that embarrassment is halved♡

Appeal of Simultaneous Bites ③ It’s Exciting!

Since the simultaneous bite involves feeding each other at the same time, it’s surprisingly quite challenging.

Sometimes hands block the view of each other’s mouths, or one may get too focused on their own bite, leading to a feeding mishap or cream around the mouth…!

Of course, that’s all part of the fun♡ Guests will likely join in excitement with comments like "Let’s do it again, ah~!" or "You have cream on your cheek!!"＊

Since doing the First Bite simultaneously is rare, guests will likely enjoy participating in the performance♡
