When it comes to performances in the ceremony, involving parents,
On the bride's side
"Veil down," "Walking down the aisle together," "Glove ceremony," "Last hug"
On the groom's side
"Jacket ceremony," "Boutonniere ceremony"
are the classics, aren't they?
However, everything mentioned so far is a parent-child performance.
In this article, we will introduce a rare ceremony that deepens the bond "between both families' parents"♩
"Ketsuen-shiki"*
"Ketsuen-shiki" is a ceremony where the parents of the bride and groom come forward and shake hands firmly.
The fathers and mothers shake hands, conveying the meaning of "Nice to meet you"♩
As the word "ketsuen" suggests, it is a wonderful and peaceful performance that serves as a lovely memory for both families to become one family.
Where to hold this during the ceremony should be discussed with the planner, considering the overall flow...
It might be good to do it towards the end, after the vow exchange and declaration of marriage.
At the end of the ceremony, there was also a bride who bowed to the guests with both families lined up, so it seems good to be able to conclude it in a natural flow.
