To that person in the sky. "Memorial Seat"

Introducing a wonderful tribute found in overseas weddings＊

It’s a performance called "Memorial Seat", where a seat is prepared for the deceased person during the ceremony.

By placing a reserved placard or card at the wedding seat, it symbolizes the message, "Though their body is not here, this seat is for you. If you were here, you would be sitting here."＊

Similar to preparing an "Inzen" during the reception, it has a comparable feeling＊

《Ideas for Memorial Seats》

It seems that it’s common to prepare name cards such as "DADDY" or "MOM" for the memorial seat. By letting other guests know whose seat it is, they can think, "Ah, this seat is for Mom. She is with us in this space."

It’s also common to decorate with a chair sign that says "Reserved." Decorating it cutely also adds a stylish touch♡

Displaying a photo is a lovely idea as well. Let’s display a smiling picture.

Adorning the chair with flowers and photo frames makes it vibrant. Guests might feel, "What a wonderful mother she was."

Some brides even go to that seat during the ceremony to pay their respects...

A wonderful wedding performance "Memorial Seat"

A chair prepared for the now deceased person, called the "Memorial Seat."

You wanted them to come to the wedding, but they have already gone to heaven, and that can’t happen. However, you want to express your feelings for that person in some way during the wedding.

I think it’s a beautiful way to convey such feelings♡

Of course, it doesn’t mean they will come back to life, and we know their body will not be here in this space, but just preparing a chair like this brings a sense of peace.

Please discuss with those around you to consider incorporating this idea.
