REAL STORY

Your wedding day is for you and your family.
The day we became a family at Yoidon

After the wedding: 9th year

How did you originally choose Ryotei Kawabun as your wedding venue?

Mr. ChisatoMy husband is from Kansai and I am in Nagoya, and it was a wedding after a long distance relationship. After we got married, we were going to start living in Nagoya together, so we had decided that Nagoya would be the venue for our wedding. Originally, I wanted to have an overseas resort wedding, or if I was going to do it in Japan, I wanted to do it in the harmony of Japanese culture. I had an image that I wanted to do everything in "Wa" including meals. butTalking with my husband, we both like eating and drinking, so we talked about wanting everyone to come to a place where not only Japanese food is good, but also delicious food.
I used to do calligraphy, and my parents' house is a Japanese house that is over 100 years old. What is it? Ryotei Kawabun is like a collection of Japanese culture. There are also Japanese modern places that have a modern atmosphere in other places. butThis is a place called Wa, Japan. It feels like the royal road of Japan.If I were to hold a wedding ceremony in Japan, I would want to do it in a place that properly incorporates Japanese culture, and I have an image that the dignified feeling of Kawabun 's buildings has value that cannot be bought with Fri.. When I chose Ryotei Kawabun as my wedding venue,In addition to the food, atmosphere, and hospitality, I thought the experience itself of coming to such a Japanese house was worth it.

Was there anything that was important to you while you were preparing for the wedding?

Mr. Chisato Weddings were very important as a time for “family to be together”.So when his family came to Nagoya, I thought it would be important to convey the atmosphere of the two of us and the place called Aichi, even if just a little. Mr. Kawabun suggested that we bring out the uniqueness of Nagoya in our meals, and we initially said that it would be nice to do so.

Looking back on the day of your reception, how was it?

Mr. ChisatoWe were able to do all the things we wanted to do and what we wanted to do, so it was satisfying and really fun. In additionI was very happy to see each of the attendees interacting with each other, such as my father-in-law having a great time talking with his friends, and my relatives sharing drinks with his relatives. I don't think so.It was fun and filled with gratitude.

MasahitoI feel like I'll never have such a fun big party again. It's delicious and fun (laughs).

The surprise movie for your husband took a lot of time. What kind of time was it for the two of you to have a wedding ceremony that used so much power?

Mr. ChisatoBefore we got married, we were dating with a determination to change the place where we lived. Of course, I was planning on marrying into his place, but to be honest, I didn't expect him to come to our relatives' town. I really like his parents and siblings too. That's why my gratitude to him is a major premise, but I also had feelings for the family who lived with him. His family must have thought that he would continue to live in the family town for the rest of his life.
But when he decided to marry me, he kindly sent me off. He was well-loved in his previous company. That's why she also had to leave that workplace by marrying me. But they sent it off quickly. that's whyI wanted to leave behind the fact that he was loved by his family, relatives, and people at the company, and I also wanted to tell him.

MasahitoI heard this story for the first time. This interview is also a good opportunity for me. I feel like I'm hearing this for the very first time.

Do you think it was a good idea to have the wedding?

Mr. ChisatoWithout hesitation, I already think so.The fact that all of our relatives can gather together is something that can only be achieved at a wedding ceremony.I don't think it's a simple family trip. I think it's precisely because of the wedding that his relatives and my relatives get together and fuse together. Through weddings, I really felt that someone important to me became someone important to me, and vice versa.

Masahito I think it's the best thing to do as a wedding venue where each person becomes their own important person through us.

Mr. ChisatoWe have a habit of watching wedding movies on our wedding anniversary every year, and we watch all the movies on that day once a year. I feel like I'm going back in time when I'm watching that kind of time. It's time to go back to that time and relax, and it's time to go back. When I see the faces of the people at that time in the movie, it's the same with the wedding ceremony itself, but looking back on it makes me happy every year as a by-product.

MasahitoIt's the same for both of us, and it's the same for each of our relatives.In a way, people of different ages and genders were able to become a family on that wedding day.While watching the movie, as I get older each year, I think it will be easier to organize my feelings at that time and my current feelings if I look back and say, "It was like this at that time."

Mr. Chisato One of the things that makes me happy about having a wedding is that we were able to bring our families together.I had the opportunity to meet his relatives and people from my previous workplace, so I think it was good to have a wedding. Another thing is that in the process leading up to the wedding, there were many things that gave me the opportunity to learn that we share similar values. I remember feeling relieved.
Values are invisible things, so when you see a certain theme, you don't talk about how you feel or what you like about it in your daily life. When you look at the same thing and decide even on small things, do you feel comfortable because you look like this person? I was relieved that I wouldn't have any troubles from now on.There was value in the wedding itself, but I personally think that what I realized during the preparation period up until that point was also important.That's why I recommend getting married.

Masahito The good points of Japan, which have ritual elements such as weddings, are treated as good points.I personally really like it. So I think that kind of thing is good. after thatLike that time, I don't often think about whether it's for her or for the audience, and if I do something like this, I'll be happy.So, it would be nice to have a wedding ceremony as an opportunity like that.

How does the memory of the couple who got married affect you now that you have children?

Masahito When it comes to my children having a wedding or not, I want to tell them that it is easier to tell them that they should do it.If you ask me what to do, I can confidently say that it's going to be a lot of fun.

The two of you have visited Kawabun many times after the ceremony.

Mr. Chisatofor exampleWhen I came to Kawabun with my family last summer, that place was the reception hall.I entered the reception hall with my family of five. If the five family members had not visited the reception hall again, the reception hall would have been only "a place where you have memories of the wedding ceremony", but although it is the same space, five people came again and had different memories. It's a feeling that has increased by one. Maybe when I visit again in a few years, I'm sure I'll remember last summer and talk about it. that's whyI think it would be great to be able to come back and have more memories.I think this was one of the points when I chose Kawabun.

I was surprised to hear that you look back on your wedding every year. What kind of time do you want to spend looking back on your wedding?

Mr. ChisatoI think we are people who have more or less time as a couple in our daily lives. If we were to show our children a movie of our wedding,Mama and Papa are so in love! I think I'm showing off that (laughs).Are we really good friends? It's like showing off. By telling my daughter that I married her because I love her so much, and that this is the reason why my father came to Nagoya from Hyogo.Because of the amount of love that flows between us as a couple, I can say, "That's why it's already decided that you're happy."
I think that kind of thing can be passed on to children. I think I'll tell you that I was very happy that you guys were born because I got married with that thought. But in fact, I don't want to talk about that, I just want to say that it looks like it's going to be fun. I just want to brag (laughs). So the children may say, "I see this every year" (laughs).
