Happy Merry Wedding? 

By Yukiko Shindo(Japanese) 

Today, I think I will tell about Japanese Wedding Celebration. In Japan, most people have a party to show their husband or wife to their friends and relatives. And there, a bride wears many kinds of clothes. For example, Kimono, Wedding dress and so on. It is the main event of such a party. Everyone is looking forward to seeing it. And also, at the party, we eat Japanese food. All dishes have different meanings. For example, we eat Soba ( long noodle) there, this is the meaning that the newlyweds can get along with each other, for a long time like Soba. These customs are disappearing these days. But, in the countryside, they are still common. I don't know whether these customs are good or not. Happy Merry Wedding ?
