Spending the best day surrounded by the smiles of loved ones under a blue sky...

Have You Heard of This Tradition?＊

In French tradition, there is a saying, "Mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux" (A rainy wedding brings happiness).

It means that God is shedding the tears that the couple will cry over their lifetime as rain instead.♡

Popular ceremonies like flower showers and rice showers are said to mimic rain.

In the Christian world, that’s how significant rain is viewed.

Additionally, raindrops are sometimes likened to angels blessing the marriage.

Isn't that romantic and wonderful?＊

Japan Also Has Wonderful Traditions＊

Not only in Europe but Japan also has several beautiful traditions related to rain.

For example, "After rain, the ground becomes firm" and "Blessing rain."

On the starting day of your two lives together, if it rains plentifully, surely you will be able to overcome any challenges that come your way in the future.＊

When you search "#rainywedding" on Instagram, you’ll find many happy couples even in the rain.

"Because God is shedding tears for us, our lives will surely be the happiest from now on♡"

I believe international brides might think this way＊

Experiences from Senior Brides♡

Here are experiences from brides who had rain on their wedding day but felt incredibly happy♡

The bride was supposed to greet guests in a spacious garden after the ceremony. However, it was rainy that day.

They changed plans and welcomed guests indoors instead.

Having guests create an aisle for her allowed the bride to walk close and see everyone’s faces, creating truly beautiful memories♡♡

Many senior brides have said that seeing the smiles of their guests wiped away all their sadness.

No matter the weather, it remains a day filled with unparalleled happiness♡

A Day to Be Exceptionally Happy Even If It Rains♡

I’ve shared some happy traditions about weddings on rainy days＊

Japan, with its warm and humid climate, is known for being a rainy country on a global scale. While it varies by prefecture, it’s said that there are about 100 days of annual rainfall.

In other words, it rains 30% of the year. So, just because it rains on your wedding day doesn’t mean you’re particularly unlucky, nor does it mean you've been behaving poorly.

Instead of feeling down because of the rain, it’s better to embrace the positive and approach the days leading up to the wedding with a bright spirit, knowing that happiness awaits.♡
