[@oscarsimonvelasco4263]

For people wondering why they got married like they were in a DMV. It seems that they had a civil marriage, my parents were initially married like that then they just had a "religious"(those extrvagant type of weddings) wedding sometime after thay had me. Civil marriage is pretty common for young couples who can't afford to host a wedding but they really just want to tie the knot.

[@lyndaster46]

All marriages have that component in America. it is just done after the actual wedding usually. Marriages MUST be registered to be legal. A license is usually applied for BEFORE the wedding and you usually have like five days to DMV the license (edit) except common law marriages.

[@ketchup901]

In Sweden even if you have a civil marriage there still needs to be a marriage officiant who pronounces you married, and from that moment you are married. Of course there is also paperwork that needs to be done before and after but there is always a ceremony. If you have a religious marriage, you still need to do the exact same paperwork.

I just went to my first wedding in Japan as one of my foreign friends got married to a Japanese. Fortunately, she made a secret Amazon registry for the foreign guests as she herself thought it was too much to expect each guest to give them $300-$500 for their wedding. I personally don't want to spend too much money on my wedding. I'd rather spend more money on the honeymoon and on a future investment such as buying a house.

In Jordan, people, either from family members or friends, give the grooms %50 up to %75 of what they've paid for wedding costs to help them start up their journey - sometime, the grooms will get more than what they've paid, or at least what they've paid. The act of giving in Jordan is called Nakoota "نقوطة" which is derived from Nok'ta "نقطة" which means a drop of water, in the sense that this will help nourish the seed between the newly wed lovers.

Congratulations, Maiko & Paolo! We wish you a marriage full of love and laughter. After dating 13 years, my wife and I got married in 2017. We’re an older couple, we live Los Angeles, she’s Chinese and I’m Filipino. It is common here for the couple to provide guests a wedding registry (specific stores), but we told our guests we don’t want any gifts. Of our 80 guests, most were relatives and only our closest friends were invited - to our surprise, everyone gave us cash gifts ($100 per person, some significantly more). We paid for the entire wedding ourselves, but if we were in our 20s, I think we would have accepted help from our parents on both sides. We love seeing your videos, which helped us plan our 2016 and 2018 trips to Japan. If you have a wedding ceremony and it’s early October, please invite us, we’ll be there! CONGRATS, again!

[@Rosh_Travels]

I was shocked to hear that the guest were expected to pay roughly $300. I’ve only gone to one Japanese wedding. It was my Japanese bestie... she got married in Nagoya, Japan her hometown. I traveled there by bullet train.. which was pretty awesome. I was invited to the ceremony and the reception...her husband is Chilean and the ceremony was in traditional Japanese kimono garb held at a shrine. It was sooo awesome to see. For the reception they changed into a tux and wedding gown. I was very surprised to see gifts for the guests at the tables. As the night ended my friend and her husband was thanking everyone for attending and gave envelopes to the departing guests... my envelope had 10,000¥!!! I was floored! She said she knew I came a long way from Yokosuka and she wanted to help with my fare. I thought that was very sweet and different that the guests were given gifts. Thanx for sharing your marriage experience. I share your videos all the time, and miss Japan soooo much.

[@sandyamaulana2317]

Congratulations on your marriage, Paolo and Maiko! You two are an adorable couple! I'm a new subscriber from Indonesia. Indonesia is very culturally diverse and there are so many different ways of getting married and holding wedding ceremonies. Intercultural marriages are also quite common, so sometimes a wedding ceremony is a combination of two different cultures, or it can also be held twice in two different cultural ways! I'm a Muslim Javanese Indonesian; for a Muslim from Java, marriage is usually a religious affair first (first thing to do is to register at a local Office of Religious Affairs), and a cultural affair later, or sometimes (as in my case) both happened at the same time. It is not uncommon for an Indonesian couple to have their matrimony (typically officiated by an Islamic wedding officiant) and wedding reception in one same morning. Usually, the bride's parents are responsible for both marriage administration and about 50-70% of funding of wedding ceremony. The groom (or the groom's family) contributes to the rest of the funds.

So interesting! I live in Hawaii and I work in the wedding industry. Our average wedding (with about 200 guests, which is an average "large" wedding here) is at least $50,000. We've had many couples say their budget was $75,000! (¥8,000,000) Our average client is a middle to high class couple in their mid-30s, so they've already been working for at least 10 years. Usually they pay for as much as they can and they do get help from parents. Sometimes relatives "gift" part of the wedding, like "gift" them their photographer. Here, the "go-to" rule for guests attending a friend's wedding is to "pay for your own dinner." So if the wedding is a dinner at a fancy buffet, you might give around $100 per head. If you are a relative you would probably give much more, but especially if a friend is younger, they might not even give that amount. In this way, couples usually don't make back the amount that they spend on their wedding, they end up just eating the cost. I think the "$300 per head" rule in Japan is expensive, but that's nice that it helps the wedded couple so much more!!

[@aprilbox3766]

Traditionally in the US (not so much anymore) the bride's family paid for the wedding, because like you said the groom's family will be taking care of the bride. If you go way back they bride's family gave money, property or valuable items to the groom's family, it was called the bride price or dowry. In addition way back a bride also prepared a lot of household items to bring with her. Linens, clothing and things and they were often in a special trunk. The groom's family pays for the wedding ceremony rehearsal dinner and groomsmen's clothing rental. Another crazy custom: women buy their wedding clothes and men rent them. Then registration: the couple will visit different stores to make a list of the things they want. Like we registered at a jewelry store for fancy dishes. Lots of people today will register at Target or even a hardware store. It's helpful because then you don't get 4 toasters. Also a lot of people are getting married when they already have a house set up, so they don't even need a toaster. Like my sister wanted a nice cutting board. Not every guest will use the list, you could give something unique like art. Also a lot of people give money or gift cards.

congrats paolo and maikosan. my wife and i got married in japan almost 30 years ago. her parents paid for everything... i just showed up and tried not break anything. we got some great pictures out the experience.

Congratulations! My husband and I are traveling to Japan in April for our honeymoon! We got married in July in Las Vegas, but we delayed our honeymoon so we could come to Japan for cherry blossom season. We actually registered at TravelersJoy.com where our guests could choose to contribute to our honeymoon fund. although, we did include a note in the invite that said gifts were not necessary as we had a destination wedding and those who attended paid to travel to our wedding. We did pay for our own wedding ((around $20k)), but both of our parents contributed a bit for the extra things we didn’t want to splurge on. Thanks for all of your awesome videos, they are super helpful!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks for sharing Katy Minou! It's nice that there are sites like this to allow you to also fund your honeymoon,

[@TheAntibyte]

You might want to research into when the cherry blossom peak season is. Apparently this year is going to be earlier due to the difference in weather this winter.

[@katyminou3808]

TheAntibyte well we can’t change out plans at this point unfortunately! Flights were booked in October. The good news is we’ll be there in early April and we’re traveling to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hakone, so hopefully we’ll get lucky at one location at least!

[@horses4555]

In the United States it used to be the brides parents would pay for the whole wedding but nowadays usually the couples pay and the parents help a little.

Nur zur Info nicht jede Stadt in Japan hat Doraemon. kommt also darauf an wo in Japan du heiraten willst. Die beiden haben wahrscheinlich in Shibuya geheiratet da sie dort gewohnt haben, also hat Shibuya scheinbar Doraemon. Meine Stadt hatte zwar auch ein Maskotchen auf den Dokumenten allerdings kein bekannter Charakter oder so. Ich persönlich finde aber die deutsche Art zu heiraten definitv schöner. Selbst wenn man keine eigene Zeremonie plant, hat man wenigstens eine schöne Standesamtliche Hochzeit und nicht nur Papierkram den man bei einem Schalter einreicht.

I was married in 2006. My husband and I paid for the majority of the wedding but our parents did help with some stuff. We had 200 people attend (75 his family, 75 my family, 75 mutual friends were invited). Some people gave $ in cards (usually US $50-100) but mostly they gave gifts (toaster, game console, towel set, etc.). We had a very affordable wedding compared to many people (around $8,000-10,000).

[@CreativoErratico]

[@sadbradwithabat2413]

[@jaewookchung6123]

Hi, congratulations on getting married! There are a lot of similarities between Japan and South Korea’s wedding customs. The part about people giving money as a gift to the newly married couple is pretty much the same here though it seems like the Japanese pay way more than Koreans do. Typically if it’s someone you know but not a person you’re close to than usually we pay around 50,000 won, which is around 50 US dollars. As mentioned in the video it becomes common for the parents of the newly married couple to invite as many people as possible so they can secure enough money to pay off the wedding which can be quite expensive. As a result, the newly weds end up having to say hi and thank you to a lot of people at the wedding who are pretty much strangers to them. As for what does each household bring to the wedding; traditionally in Korea the groom’s household is expected to prepare housing, such as a house or apartment. The bride’s household prepares other things like furniture and household appliances. There’s more details if you get in deep but overall the impression I received as a Korean is that there’s more similarities than differences between the wedding customs of Korea and Japan. Anyways, once again congratulations to the two of you!

[@Studywithdeww]

Jaewook Chung Same in India

[@xBINARYGODx]

To all of the people talking about how they get married in Japan - you do realize that paper-work part is nearly the same as it is in the US when you "go down to city hall", right?

[@pauladuncanadams1750]

Yes, but that's not the ceremony. That is a license.

[@ryanadams127]

@Maiko, I think in Korea the wedding customs for guests are quite similar to Japan. They also give money gifts. And not enough would be considered as cheap and disrespectful. I even learned that at some weddings there can be a race about who of the friends gives the biggest amount. This is still considered as big honor, since you appear as very generous and supportive of the wedding couple etc. But also like in Japan the younger generations start to change and do not stick to all these traditions. Although I think it is still quite common in Korea, that the father of the bride should pay for the wedding.

[@sepi846]

This exists throughout asia. In kashmir, we have the same concept called naendra (Gazing gift). There is a registrar near the entrance who takes note of guests and their money envelopes.

@ABC , treat each other with respect, never fight when you're really mad. You say things that you don't really mean. Just sleep on the issue, talk about it after you've had a minute to think. But the number one thing is RESPECT! Keep God in your home and never, never, never talk about your spouse with anyone. God luck in your future.

Your are right about that's I haven't thought about it... I hope he's playing around with the video. A lot of people in the development country take marriage very lightly.

[@AverageJoesDG]

congrats Paolo and Maiko on getting married. And as far as weddings go in Texas well Mexican's weddings go its usually the wife side of the family that pays for the wedding just like you. said and during the wedding they invite lots of family and friends and they to dollar dances for the husband and the wife and that goes to some of the wedding or used for extra money for the honeymoon. For the gifts the husband and wife do a wedding registration form in stores and they send out they web site info with the wedding invitations.

Thanks for sharing joseph hughes! I've actually seen the dollar dance in Filipino weddings as well. And I think people usually give more than a $1 bill.
