I Want to Express My Gratitude to My Mom.
Who is the person you want to thank the most at your wedding?
Your beloved partner with whom you will walk into the future together, your father who has watched over you with a strict yet warm gaze since childhood, your best friend who has supported you during tough times even when you occasionally fought, and your reliable boss who taught you the basics of society from scratch.
While there are many feelings you might want to convey to each of them, this article will focus on your mother.
There must be many brides who feel a strong bond with their mothers, who have always been gentle, scolded them at times, listened to their troubles, cried together, and laughed together, and are grateful for them more than anyone else!
This time, we will introduce some surprising and emotional performances you can do for your mother at your wedding.
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ① First Meet
The first meet is often done between the bride and groom, but a first meet dedicated to the parents can also be incredibly moving.
It is an emotional performance where many mothers tear up upon seeing their beautifully dressed daughter.
Let's have her be the first to see you in your bridal attire and say, "Thank you for raising me. I've grown up so much." ♡
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ② Kantsuki-no-Gi (Ceremony of Applying Lipstick)
A popular trend is to perform the "Kantsuki-no-Gi," where the mother applies lipstick to the bride as her final touch-up.
This ceremony is a traditional Japanese performance and is commonly incorporated by many brides in Japanese weddings. ♡
Of course, even in a wedding dress (Western attire), having her come to the bridal room to apply lipstick and capturing the moment in a photo is also a classic.
When she helps with the final touches and says, "You look beautiful. Congratulations," both of you might end up in tears.
It's a special moment just for the bride and her mother.
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ③ Veil Down
Another moving performance is the veil down, where the bride's wedding veil is placed down by her mother.
The veil symbolizes protection from evil spirits; let your mother, who has protected you with all her heart since you were born, lower the veil for you. ♡
The moment when her mother sends her down the aisle with the words, "I hope you'll be happy from now on," is a sight that brings tears to our eyes every time.
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ④ Thanks Bite
Since you were born, your mother has cooked delicious meals for you.
A popular performance is "Thanks Bite," where you feed her a piece of the wedding cake as a way to express your gratitude. ♡
During the Thanks Bite, memories may resurface of when she used to feed you as a child, and some mothers might tear up and think, "You've grown up so well." In such cases, gently wipe away those tears. ♡
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ⑤ Last Bite
In contrast to the Thanks Bite, there's also a performance called "Last Bite," where you allow your mother to feed you one last time before you get married. ♡
Remembering the good old days, you can say "ah~" and your mother will probably smile as if returning to her childhood.
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ⑥ Escort for Going to the Restroom
Many brides ask their mothers to escort them while they take their break!
Since you walked down the aisle with your father during the ceremony, let your mother escort you during the break. ♡
Many brides seem to hold hands and walk together, just like when they were little. ♩
Additionally, saying a few words during this moment is a lovely performance. Let's express your feelings of gratitude towards your mother in front of all the guests! ♡
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ⑦ Surprise Plate
Adding a "Surprise Plate" during dessert is another highly popular performance. ♩
Messages like "Thank you for everything until now. Please continue to support me" and "I'm glad to be born as your child" are particularly popular. ◎
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ⑧ Bride's Letter
A letter addressed to the parents from the bride is an essential emotional performance at weddings.
Write down your memories and feelings of gratitude in a single letter. ♡
After reading the letter, present them with the letter, a wedding memento, or a bouquet.
It would be wonderful to give them a tight hug filled with gratitude at that moment! ♡
Emotional Performance for Mom at the Wedding ⑨ Thanks Movie
Some brides have created a video titled Thanks Movie dedicated to their parents. ♡
Compile your feelings of gratitude that cannot be conveyed in a few words into one video and screen it. ♩
It's recommended to play the Thanks Movie during a break before the ceremony or just before you read the bride's letter.
To My Beloved Mom. Let's Express Our Gratitude! ♡
