What is the 〔First Meet〕?♡

"First Meet" is a ceremony where the bride and groom prepare separately until just before the wedding and reveal their wedding attire to each other before the ceremony. In some countries, there is a superstition that seeing the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding will bring bad luck, and this custom was born out of that belief.♡

The 〔First Meet〕 is becoming popular in Japan too!♡

The reactions of grooms when they first see their brides in their wedding dresses vary. Some greet their brides with a beaming smile, while others get so emotional that they cry, thinking, "I'm really getting married." It’s such a moving ceremony!♡ Some grooms even express sentiments like "Thank you for marrying me," making everyone tear up…♡
