What are the emotional moments at weddings?

Weddings feature various exciting performances that bring joy and surprise, but...

it’s essential to incorporate "emotional" performances unique to weddings.

The determination to walk ahead with the beloved partner, gratitude for parents who raised you, friendship with peers from youth, and a way to repay the guidance of life’s strict yet kind mentors.

One of the charms of weddings is the ability to create tear-jerking performances that honor such feelings.

So, this time, we will introduce classic emotional performances that will create unforgettable moments at weddings.*

Emotional Performance #1: The Red Lip Ceremony

The first performance we will introduce is the "Red Lip Ceremony." This involves the mother applying lipstick to the bride before the ceremony.

The Red Lip Ceremony is a traditional version of the veil down, symbolizing "the mother's final preparations."

From the moment of birth, the mother dressed her, styled her hair, and sometimes taught her makeup.

As a final preparation for her wedding, the bride receives lipstick from her mother, who has raised her to become a wonderful woman, infused with the sentiment of "I hope you find happiness."

It's a beautiful moment where the bride reflects on the memories of being raised and expresses her gratitude.

Emotional Performance #2: First Meet

On the wedding day, the "First Meet," where the bride and groom reveal their wedding looks to each other, is an emotional moment that often brings many couples to tears.

Seeing each other in wedding attire for the first time makes them realize, "I'm really marrying this person!" and brings tears of happiness to many.

Recently, it’s become common to have first meets not only with the groom but also with parents or even all guests.

Emotional Performance #3: Veil Down

Another classic performance is the "Veil Down," where the mother lowers the veil at the beginning of the ceremony.

The virgin road is said to represent the path walked from birth to now, and by having the veil placed on her before walking down the aisle, it symbolizes returning to the mother's womb.

Additionally, veil down is considered a "protective charm," signifying the role of guarding the bride until she meets the groom.

Many brides find themselves in tears at the moment of veil down, moved by their mother's words of "May you find happiness."

Emotional Performance #4: Middle Exit

When asking someone to escort her during the middle exit, tears often flow as well.

Especially when surprising beloved parents, grandparents, siblings, or cherished friends, it brings joy and emotion, leading to tears of happiness.

Although it was supposed to be a surprise for those significant individuals, many end up tearing up themselves upon seeing the emotional scene.

Think about how you want to manage your middle exit and choose your escort role! ♩

Emotional Performance #5: Friend Speeches

Heartfelt speeches from close friends are incredibly moving performances.

Speeches from friends who have shared joyful and painful moments evoke many memories of youth.

Many guests are moved to tears by phrases like "Please continue to be by my side and be happy."

Emotional Performance #6: The Bride's Letter

One of the most emotional moments during a wedding is undoubtedly "The Bride's Letter."

It's rare to express gratitude to parents through words, making this occasion special. It’s likely that a letter is rarely read outside of a wedding.

The letter, filled with memories, gratitude, and future hopes, will become a treasure for the parents.

Often, the bride, her parents, the groom, and even guests are brought to tears during this performance.

Emotional Performance #7: Flower and Gift Presentation

The moment when the bride presents flowers or gifts to her parents is also a touching moment.

Following the reading of the bride's letter, it’s an opportunity to directly express gratitude, "Thank you for everything so far.”

The scene captures the father's mixed emotions of sadness and joy as he prepares to give away his precious daughter, bringing tears to all guests.
