[Celebration ♡ Big Day] What Was Yuto Nagatomo and AiRi Taira's Wedding Like?!

〔Congratulations♡ Big Day〕Congratulations!

When it comes to the most famous newlywed couple in Japan...!

Soccer Japan national team player Yuto Nagatomo (30) and actress Airi Taira (32) held their wedding ceremony on June 24, 2017 (Saturday) ♡

Since last June, when Nagatomo proclaimed, "She is my amore (beloved)!" - a phrase that became a buzzword - the couple has been watched closely by the entire country...

They have finally reached their Big Day; congratulations to them both ♡

Curious＊What kind of wedding was it?

It was a very celebratory wedding for Nagatomo and Airi Taira ♡

For future brides and those who have recently wed, the most important question is, what kind of wedding did they have?＊

Where did they hold it, what dresses did they wear, and what was the venue decoration like?

In this article, we will share a report on their wedding ♩

The venue was The Westin Hotel Tokyo＊

The couple held their wedding reception at The Westin Hotel Tokyo in Ebisu, Tokyo＊

The Westin Hotel is famous for an event where a horse-drawn carriage exits onto the public road from the main entrance.

Airi Taira expressed her desire to do this, but Nagatomo decided against it, fearing it might cause confusion...!

The guest list was too luxurious♩

The wedding reception gathered as many as 300 guests ♡

Among them were Nagatomo's soccer colleagues Makoto Hasebe, Shinji Kagawa, and Atsuto Uchida,

as well as Hiro and Aya Ueto, Kiyotaka Nanbara, and Teru Kagawa...

And to top it off, even Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike attended! (This was apparently due to Airi's brother, Keisho Taira (30), running for the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly from the "Tomin First" party.)

It's a truly luxurious lineup, isn't it?＊

The story of their wedding kiss is amusing＊

Here's an amusing episode regarding their vow kiss at the ceremony＊

It seems the couple couldn't synchronize their timing for the kiss and ended up failing twice...!

When Nagatomo leaned in, Airi evaded, causing laughter throughout the venue＊

On the third try, they finally succeeded in sharing the kiss of vows ♡

The outfit change sequence was as follows♡

Airi Taira wore a total of three outfits at her wedding!

Pure white wedding dress ➔ Yellow colored dress ➔ Pink Uchikake, all in that order ♡

The outfits were coordinated by Takami Bridal＊

They looked so cute and beautiful, an excellent match for both of them ♡

Was the wedding theme flower sunflowers?

While the details are still unclear, when looking at the photos from the couple's wedding...

Sunflowers were prominently displayed everywhere♡

The large round object at the backdrop of the high table also featured sunflowers,

and the guest table floral arrangements prominently featured bright yellow sunflowers＊

Airi Taira had once tweeted, "The language of flowers for sunflowers is 'To the beloved.' It's my favorite flower✨," so that might be the reason ♩

Nagatomo passionately sang, while Airi emotional read a letter...♡

During the reception, Nagatomo passionately sang Miyuki Nakajima's "Ito" ♩

"The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me..." I wonder how much determination he expressed in that performance ♡

Also, Airi read a heartfelt letter saying, "Just like my mother, I decided to marry because I want to be with this person more than my own life. I fear nothing when I'm with Yuto," reading it in tears ♡

You can really glimpse the depth of their love ♩

May you both continue to be happy forever♡
