Japanese Wedding Forecast?

Congratulations! Finally, you REACH my conclusion! I am showing you my script of the presentation, "Japanese Weddings from Traditional to Modern." If you are reading this article FIRST, I recommend you to go back to the "Japanese Wedding Ceremonies" section. This is the sequence of 6 articles. GOOD LUCK!

In conclusion, I would like to have a quiz. What percentage of Japanese newlyweds have argued while planning their weddings? What do you think? It is 87%. That’s a lot! Isn’t it!? Next, what percentage of them have thought “I am going to quit this marriage!” ? Actually, it is 45% Almost half of them! (Both results are from the Wedding Trend Research in 2005, by a Japanese wedding magazine, Zexy.) I was surprised at the result, and told my husband about that. He wasn't surprised, and said. “Yeah, I know, because I am one of them.” ...I hope he was kidding!

Anyway,Generally, the wedding is a girl’s dream. But for many grooms, it is tiring, expensive, and embarrassing! However, I think a young Japanese guy’s view of weddings has been changing recently. The wedding trend research in 2005 by Zexy says, 25% of the grooms went to beauty salons to have facial massages before their wedding days! Many young Japanese guys enjoy having weddings as their big events!

To have known this tendency, the biggest Japanese wedding planning company, the Take & Give. Needs have suggested, “You are celebrities!” concept. For example, after you registered your marriage at a city hall, a reporter and a cameraman had been waiting for you. They asked you a lot “How did you feel right after registering for the marriage? “or “ When did you decide you were getting married?” and so on, like "You are celebrities!"(The image is the right picture) Also, you can hold a conference to announce your engagement like "You are celebrities!" (The image is the left picture. These two pictures are from the Website of the Take & Give. Needs: http://www.tgn.co.jp/index.html ) Those scenes are recorded, and you and your guests can enjoy those videos during the reception.

I don’t know if this style will be a trend, but it can be because a wedding is not just a girl’s dream anymore, recently, it has also become boy’s dream!!!

...How was this presentation? Thank you for reading the looooong series!! Besides this script, I showed some videos showing modern wedding concepts well♪　What? I may have worked hard to research for this presentation, but you think the audience was also hard to listen to ALL of my talking? Yeah, I think so, but I have found another interesting things, so I wish I had TWO hours to talk about this topic!!!
