The bride's dress will be a white kimono, with which she shows submission
to her new family. The bride's look will be completed with a kind of white
cap, as a headdress, which literally means "hiding of horns". This garment
symbolizes that the woman hides her selfishness and jealousy to show
herself pure and gentle before her husband.
The groom will also wear a montsuki, which is a black kimono decorated
with the family emblem, called kamon.

friends and other relatives. To end the ceremony they share three cups of
sake called san-san-kudo.

it is necessary to differentiate between a traditional Japanese wedding
ceremony and the new customs that are emerging in Japan. For example, in

perfect man, suffering from a relationship where something doesn't work
out or feeling sad or lonely, Japanese women decide to marry themselves.

A traditional honeymoon in Japan involves choosing local destinations,
staying in ryokans, participating in cultural activities such as the tea
ceremony and enjoying romantic dinners at Japanese restaurants. It also
includes exploring historical sites and relaxing in hot springs or other
natural settings.
