Not Just the Water Ceremony! A Fun Collection of '○○ Ceremonies' to Enjoy at Your Wedding Ceremony

[Ceremony in Front of Witnesses] What kind of performances will you do?

Unlike church ceremonies or Shinto ceremonies where the progress and performances are almost predetermined, a ceremony in front of witnesses allows you to freely decide the content.

In a ceremony in front of witnesses, as proof of marriage and as vows to become a couple,

it is popular to perform the '○○ Ritual', which also embodies the meaning of a first collaborative effort.＊＊

Here, we introduce performances named '○○ Ritual' found on Instagram, ranging from classics to unique variations.

Performance ① Water Blending Ceremony

As you all know, the Water Blending Ceremony is the most traditional and classic performance.＊

This method involves pouring water from the groom's and bride's respective hometowns into a single cup.

The meaning of "May the two, who grew up in different environments, live happily together" is wonderful♩

Recently, the ceremony has evolved beyond just pouring water together,

with options like making fruit liquor by pouring water into a jar filled with fruits... (everyone drinks it at the reception♩)

Arrangements where dry ice is placed in the container, and when water is poured, it produces a puff of white smoke,

have become popular as glamorous variations derived from the Water Blending Ceremony♡

Performance ② Tree Planting Ceremony

The Tree Planting Ceremony, as the name suggests, is a performance where the groom and bride pour water into a pot containing a tree or seedling.＊

Since trees symbolize prosperity and fertility, it is a very auspicious performance perfect for a wedding♩

Popular choices include olive trees, which carry the flower language of "peace," and Umbrella plants, which symbolize "marital love."♡

Performance ③ Sand Blending Ceremony

Known as a Sand Ceremony, the Sand Blending Ceremony involves the groom and bride blending differently colored sand together.＊

Since fine sand cannot be separated once mixed, it allows the couple to declare their determination to live together for life in front of their guests♩

The atmosphere can also change depending on the colors of the sand♡

Performance ④ Wine Ceremony

The Wine Ceremony, where the couple pours wine together, is also an unusual but irresistible performance for wine lovers♡

Using wines from the year they were born can deepen their attachment＊

In addition to wine, it is also recommended to perform a drink ceremony with champagne, cocktails, or local liquor from each other's hometown♩

Performance ⑤ Candy Ceremony

The last performance I’d like to introduce is the Candy Ceremony.＊ In this case, the couple is blending small-colored sugar candies together.♡

The pastel-colored sugar candies are adorable, and the fact that guests can enjoy them afterward is delightful♩

Let's Enjoy the '○○ Ritual' ♡

If you are having a ceremony in front of witnesses, you'd want to perform the '○○ Ritual,' which is your first collaborative effort as a couple.＊

Beyond what we've introduced this time, ideas for ○○ depend on your creativity! Please vow your eternal love with a wonderful performance♡
