Touching Moments: A Compilation of Beautiful First Meet Moments Found on Instagram by Inspiring Brides

First Meet is so Charming ♡

Do you know about the First Meet? The First Meet is the moment when the bride, dressed in her wedding attire, and the groom, in his wedding suit, show each other their appearances for the first time＊

In foreign countries, it's called "first sight," and is a very moving ritual that is done casually and easily ♡

First, please watch the video ♡

This is a movie of the actual First Meet moment of a bride from overseas＊

It took place in a park? The moment the groom sees the bride in her wedding dress and hugs her lovingly is so wonderful＊

The popular way to do a First Meet is like in this video, where one calls the name and turns around＊ Or one might tap each other on the shoulder or face each other at the same time while looking in opposite directions—there are various methods.

Regardless of the method, it's a very heartwarming moment, and it can also happen surrounded by family and bridesmaids ♡

Many brides in Japan are also capturing their First Meet moments＊

Although the First Meet originated overseas, it has spread to Japan in recent years and has become a standard among stylish brides ♡

It is becoming one of the “popular moments to capture” in wedding photos ♡ Here are some First Meet moments of Japanese brides that I found on Instagram＊

Every couple looks so happy, and these moments are incredibly heartwarming ♡

The First Meet is fundamentally a ritual to engrave in your heart the moment when you first see your loved one in their wedding attire, so that you never forget that initial feeling＊
