The majority of Japanese are neither Catholics nor Christians.
This doesn’t stop them from hankering for a Western-style wedding.
So much so that a couple can book a wedding house to celebrate their big days. It is literally a one-stop service as interested couples book packages with the wedding house and then usher in their big day. Their every need will be taken care of by a planner who works at the wedding house.
Which makes choosing a wedding house very important. Before my wedding, the then-girlfriend and I explored various options.
You can be forgiven for thinking that you are in Europe.
Doesn’t your heart skip a beat?
The bride needs her space to look gorgeous.
Wow I’m shocked they adopted this wedding culture from the west. Nice photos
speaking as an Asian...
european culture is frickin' cool man.
I dunno why europeans are so ashamed of their own past
DEUS VULT

travelled to Spain and Italy for my honeymoon. Taiwan is meant for long weekend trips haha
I thought you might enjoy them!
heard about these just a few days ago... you sure not you're a coincidence AI?!
Sounds nice idea
I’m not sure this is only a Japanese thing, or only about weddings.
You can see a similar pattern in many parts of Asia where Western styles, symbols, or experiences often carry a certain prestige.
Sometimes it’s not necessarily about religion or tradition, but more about the cultural image associated with the West.
For example, imagine two people from the same country who go abroad for work. One spends a few years working as a waiter somewhere in Europe, while the other builds and runs a successful restaurant in a non‑Western country.
When they both return home, many people might instinctively view the one who “worked in Europe” as more successful, even if the other actually achieved more in practical terms.
It’s an interesting cultural dynamic and probably says something about how global prestige and perception work.
