Playful and Adorable: A Guide to Capturing the Perfect "Shoulder Ride Photo" with a Joyful Smile! ♡

〔Question〕Did you know that shoulder rides used to be a wedding ritual?

Question for future brides! Have you ever had your husband give you a shoulder ride?

Perhaps there may be few brides who would answer YES!＊

That's understandable; compared to piggyback rides or hugs, opportunities for adults to give shoulder rides are rare, except in emergencies like needing to change a lightbulb. Additionally, the image of a shoulder ride is often associated more with a father and child rather than a couple＊

However, it turns out that shoulder rides were actually a ritual for women during their wedding ceremonies long ago!

Shoulder rides, which have this surprising connection to weddings, have recently become popular as poses in pre-wedding and post-wedding photos♡

Here, we introduce some wonderful shoulder ride photos from predecessor brides that radiate friendship♩
