3 Trendy Yet Challenging English Phrases to Elevate Your Style! ♡

Let's Study Some Quirky English Phrases*
When designing your own wedding welcome items or paper goods, it's common to include stylish English phrases*
For example, popular classic phrases often seen are:
☑ "Happily ever after"
☑ "Eat, Drink and Be Married"
Among others! However, recently, it seems that more brides are choosing English phrases that are less known and harder to translate than these tried-and-true phrases♩
Unique English phrases have the potential to generate curiosity among guests, making them think, "What does this mean?"♡
So this time, I will introduce three slightly challenging English phrases that are gradually gaining popularity among brides*
Slightly Challenging English Phrase ① MEANT TO BE
"MEANT TO BE" means "It was destined to happen"♡
The phrase meant to be has the connotation of being suppose to be or ought to be, so using this phrase at a wedding conveys that:
◆ It was destined that the two were to meet
◆ It was meant for them to love each other
These are romantically fateful words*
This expression is often used in overseas romantic dramas, so it's definitely worth remembering♩
Slightly Challenging English Phrase ② Tie the Knot
"Tie the Knot" remarkably means "to get married"♡
Originally, tie means to bind, and knot means a knot, so when put together,
it evolved from creating a knot to mean "getting married"*
There are many similar expressions like Just Married or Happy Wedding, but
if you're looking to design items with a slightly different and stylish atmosphere, try using "Tie the Knot"♩
Slightly Challenging English Phrase ③ KEEP CALM and MARRY ON
"KEEP CALM and MARRY ON" means "Please marry me"♡
Yes, it's a proposal phrase!
While the phrase doesn't exist in standard grammar,
keep calm means to remain calm, and marry on means to get married; hence,
it is interpreted as calmly (seriously), let's get married = "Please marry me"*
While it's certainly rare for men to use this phrase when proposing, it would certainly stand out well when used as part of welcome items or paper goods♡
Use This as Reference When DIY'ing as a Bride!
I introduced some unique and slightly obscure English phrases that are gradually gaining traction among Japanese brides*
① MEANT TO BE
② Tie the Knot
③ KEEP CALM and MARRY ON
Did you remember the meaning of all three?♡
Use them as reference when creating your welcome board, profile book, love story, or photo booth background♩
