What Was the Wedding Like for Rika Ishikawa and Ryoma Nogami?

The wedding of Rika Ishikawa and Ryoma Nogami was held as a casual "wedding party" rather than a formal ceremony and reception, with a standing buffet style＊

The reason they chose a wedding party instead of a reception was so that Nogami's nephews, nieces, and relatives’ children, as well as the children of Morning Musume members, could enjoy participating as well ♡

Indeed, at a reception, guests must remain seated, but at a standing buffet, kids can enjoy themselves freely and joyfully ♩

In fact, Maki Goto's children and Nobuyuki Tsuji's children attended the party ♡

It’s evident that Rika and Ryoma are thoughtful in how they planned their party＊

Although the name of the wedding venue has not been disclosed, it is said to have taken place in a hotel＊

There are photos taken in front of a gold folding screen, and since the ceiling is very high, it is expected to be a larger hotel◎

I Want to See Rika Ishikawa and Ryoma Nogami in Their Wedding Attire ♡

At the wedding party, Rika changed into a colorful uchikake＊

It was a pink-themed uchikake featuring cherry blossoms and hearts, in line with Rika’s colors from her Morning Musume days ♡

The beautiful flower hair ornament was made by "Atelier Somuka" ♩

Later in the wedding party, she changed again into a tuxedo and wedding dress ♡

Ryoma Nogami wore a distinctive tuxedo with a paisley pattern on a white background. Rika Ishikawa donned a delicate lace slender dress with polka-dotted puff sleeves＊

The pearl neckline provides an elegant touch, making a necklace unnecessary ♡

Her hairstyle was neatly tied up, complementing the talk hat-inspired headpiece she wore ♩

Additionally, the bright red rose boutonniere and wreath bouquet were handmade by Ryoma Nogami’s sister ♡

The voluminous lace ribbon embellishment perfectly matched the wedding dress, looking absolutely wonderful＊

What Wedding Items Were There?

At the wedding of Rika Ishikawa and Ryoma Nogami, such cute items were displayed at the welcome space ♡

The welcome board on the left features a wooden board with a large tulle ribbon, adorned with flowers on top, and it’s super adorable ♩

It was reportedly handmade by Rika Ishikawa's agency (J.P. Room)＊

They also had dolls of Rika and Haruto in wedding dress attire on display ♡

Rika Ishikawa's name was given with the hope from her parents that she would become someone who is loved by everyone, just like a Rika-chan doll ♡

It’s a wonderful idea to display Rika-chan dolls at her wedding, isn’t it? ◎

While Rika's boyfriend is usually Haruto-kun, on this day, they were displayed as "Rika-chan and Ryoma-kun" ♡
