When signing the marriage certificate during the ceremony.

It’s customary to write your name in Japanese in the "Groom" and "Bride" sections,

but recently, many brides have been using marriage certificates written in English with a foreign style.

In such cases, it looks more sophisticated and stylish if you sign in cursive rather than in Japanese♩

However, writing in cursive can be quite difficult unless you're very experienced, like a calligrapher.

Moreover, during the ceremony, you may feel nervous with everyone watching you, and having to write while slightly bending can make it harder.

Many people might think, "I’m not confident I can write in cursive well in that situation…".

Conversely, even if you write beautifully, there’s a possibility that your husband might mess up in cursive, which could affect the overall appearance...

It Might Be Good to Lightly Outline It♩

To avoid such issues, here’s a little trick.

If you lightly outline your name in pencil on the marriage certificate in advance, you just have to trace it on the day♩

This increases the chances of signing it well and beautifully.

"I want to write the marriage certificate in cursive, but I'm not confident I can do it well."

"My surname is long, so I might mess up midway or exceed the border."

"I'm not good at writing in general."

If you feel this way, definitely try the trick of lightly outlining your name in advance♩
