The "Dozen Roses" performance where the groom presents 12 flowers to the bride as a proposal.
This romantic act has been popular for a long time 🌹
In recent years, a guest-participation version where guests bring flowers with meanings like "love, happiness, gratitude, integrity, trust, hope, passion, truth, respect, glory, effort, and eternity" to the groom has also become popular.
It creates a special experience that remains in the hearts of the guests ♡
When presenting, have them share why they were chosen *
When guests bring flowers, it's common to tag them with meanings like "love," but…
When the MC announces the reason why that guest was chosen to bring a flower with the meaning of "love," it makes the performance even more memorable.
For example, if you ask your mother for a flower of love, you could say,
"To my mother, who raised me with so much love. I will be receiving the rose of love from her."
Including the reason for choosing that person or sharing an episode with them makes the moment much more special than just having the flower handed to you by your mother ♡
I thought of some example phrases that might be good in practice, so here are some introductions.
Love
Thank you for making my lunch every day for six years throughout middle and high school. I will receive a "love" rose from my mother, who always made my lunches with so much love.
To my father, who is always a bit brusque and strict. I will never forget the joyful look on his face when I reported my marriage. Today, I will receive a flower of "love" from my father, who struggles to express his feelings.
Happiness
To my grandmother, who is always full of smiles. Thank you for all the happiness. Let's receive some happiness from my grandmother with the "happiness" rose.
To my respected mentor, Mr. XX. I will strive to build a happy family like yours. Please share a flower of happiness with me.
Gratitude
I can never express how grateful I am to you, Senior XX, who encouraged me during job hunting, saying, "Make choices that you won't regret." I have asked them to bring a flower of gratitude.

Instead of just having guests bring flowers…
Sharing episodes with those people or the reasons for choosing them will create a more touching experience.
