Common Wedding Customs by Occupation

For example, “it’s standard for a groom and bride who work for a beer company to serve beer to guests at their reception,” there seem to be many common wedding customs that vary by profession in the world.

(How many can you come up with???)

In this article, we will reveal the “common wedding customs by profession” that were solicited from followers on marry's Instagram.

From

“Oh, I know that one~~!”

to

“I had no idea at all!”

various responses have been gathered, so please take a look!♡

【Response 1】

From the television industry 📺

✅ MC is requested from the station's announcer

✅ Profile introductions are done in news format

This is definitely a common occurrence!

“Breaking News: [Name] and [Name] are getting married!” is a classic😅

【Response 2】

I work for a seafood company, and everyone in the company loves fish, so it’s often the case that the table numbers at each table are named after fish instead of numbers (laugh).

Salmon, tuna, rock fish, octopus, squid, scallops, shrimp, roe, etc.😂

Also, the BGM usually includes “Osakana Tengoku” (Fish Heaven) (laugh).

Depending on the department, those who handle tuna perform a tuna cutting show as entertainment!! The excitement is amazing!👏

【Response 3】

Former planners tend to not wear colored dresses!

Having seen so many dresses, they seem to find wedding dresses more appealing than colored dresses.

【Response 4】

In the aviation industry, “shout of joy” announcements are a standard part of entertainment! They arrange actual announcements made on airplanes or at airports for weddings.

The groom can be the captain, and the bride can be a dedicated flight attendant, allowing for various arrangements ♡

Because it sounds like the announcements typically heard on planes or at airports, it’s hugely popular among first-timers.

【Response 5】

I’m the wife of a police officer!

At the police officer's wedding, we entered in uniform for the outfit change, and saluted together.

I think it’s a privilege of professions with cool uniforms😊

【Response 6】

My husband is a police officer and was in the riot police!

Now he is in the detective department, but it’s a tradition to ask the riot police for entertainment, where the bride disappears from the venue and the guests are asked to provide descriptions of the bride.

“Please tell me the bride’s age and name!”

“What are the characteristics of the bride?”

These questions were asked by the search team members dressed in police attire🙌

At one point, someone shouted, “The mic is broken! Fix it!” and someone who could do beatboxing came out.

My mother was jokingly referred to as “I found the bride!” and “Isn’t her age different?” which caused laughter.

It was very lively, and everyone said they had fun 🤗 At the end, there was an impromptu moment when my husband shouted words of love... (laugh).

This is a unique performance because of my husband's profession as a detective✨

【Response 7】

I’m a former kindergarten teacher 🌟

It was a common occurrence at weddings for the children from my class to sing.

I was healed and moved by the adorable little ones, and it was a wonderful memory 🌟

【Response 8】

Teachers tend to have a lot of textbook and blackboard designs♡ I’m a science teacher, so I decorate with beakers and test tubes🧪👩‍🏫

They are sold at Tokyu Hands, but I personally purchased them from a vendor that sells to schools 😂 It’s cheaper that way♡

【Response 9】

I married a monk! When monks attend a wedding reception, they wear the traditional robes that you see at funerals, so seeing them all lined up was somewhat amusing.

Moreover, the groom also wore a robe, and since the attending monks wore the same attire, it’s quite rare to think about the main character and the attendees wearing the same clothes.

【Response 10】

I worked at a photo studio!

The entertainment at my wedding and at my colleagues’ weddings often involved VTRs with plenty of photos!

【Response 11】

Common among nurse brides is using a giant syringe-shaped spoon for the first bite 💉

【Response 12】

I'm a nursery teacher! I received video letters and handmade gifts from my workplace colleagues and children 😊

They sang songs for me and gave me messages that were so cute and made me really happy.

Sending video messages with congratulations to teachers who are getting married or making gifts for each class is something I think is common among nursery teachers!? (*´ᵕ`*)

Also, when I asked friends from my junior college and vocational school for entertainment, they became teachers, singing songs and dancing🕺 like Anpanman and Ebi Kani-kusu (laugh).

Everyone turns into “teacher mode” as soon as they hold a mic! Even nursery teachers in the audience join in on the entertainment💕

It's lively and fun!!

【Response 13】

My husband is a fisherman, and when we made our re-entry after changing, I held the fish I had caught (laugh)💓

It was shirasu (whitebait), and I appeared with a plate piled high, dressed as a cook! (laugh)

【Response 14】

I’m a nursery teacher!

I often start the entertainment by comparing guests to children and doing finger plays, or I create videos featuring the children!

“Okay, everyone, good morning! Huh? You seem a bit unenergetic! Let's try once more! Good morning 😀

Let’s do ‘Musunde Hiraite’ to get more energized! (Any finger play is fine)

…This kind of thing, acting as a teacher and doing a morning assembly like I always do with the kids!

Since the groom’s guests were lively, the entire venue enjoyed it with laughter 😀

【Response 15】

At a nursery teacher's wedding, there are often voice messages, video messages, and presents from children!

【Response 16】

We are a firefighter and nurse couple!

Instead of having someone carry the rings, they were brought in on a fire truck!

And for the first bite, I fed my husband with a handmade syringe spoon 😊

【Response 17】

My husband works at a drugstore, so I made the thank-you speech prompt look like an oversized point card!

Since I also work at a supplier for that drugstore, when I presented the prompt, both sets of guests reacted with laughter. (laugh)

【Response 18】

I am a police officer.

When the groom is a police officer, he wears police dress uniforms (the one with the ties).

Poses for photos include saluting.

Attendees are often muscular men.

Is that something like this?🤣

【Response 19】

It’s common in athlete weddings...

They usually take off their clothes during the entertainment (laugh).

For us, when we entered, all the guests held up the groom's player card, which surprised us. It was a surprise from the guests✨

【Response 20】

My husband is a police officer, and it’s apparently standard for the theme music of “Taiyou ni Hoero!” to play during the entrance 😂

【Response 21】

I worked in the men's formal clothing industry (suit sales), so most male guests wore suits that I had chosen for them.

Additionally, it wasn't just suits; a lot of guests wore bow ties or colored shirts✨

I made a somewhat unreasonable request for male guests to not wear the typical, safe clothing but to instead “wear something fashionable and special!” so they participated in various styles in their outfits^ ^

Most of them had purchased their items from my store, so it touched my heart✨

Choosing the groom's outfit brought me so much knowledge that I had more wishes and ideals than my own dress, allowing me to select the perfect styling, which made me satisfied 😊

I think it’s pretty common in the apparel industry for guests to dress stylishly, and in the men’s formal clothing industry for guests to wear suits picked out by me…♡

【Response 22】

I do traditional music (ohayashi) as a hobby!

When there's a wedding for a fellow member, we all bring our instruments for a big concert (laugh).

Of course, we couldn’t just sit quietly at our own wedding, and we performed together with everyone (laugh).

Interesting ♡

We introduced common wedding customs by profession based on stories collected from followers on marry's Instagram.

It was fun to hear about customs outside of the professions around me.

(Like seafood companies having table numbers for octopus or squid! That’s so characteristic!)

There are certainly many more common customs by profession in the world beyond those in this article. If you remember or come across any, please DM marry and let us know!♡
