What is Okinawa Family Marriage?

Okinawan Family Marriage (Family Marriage)

A family ceremony that can be done in plain clothes

"Okinawa Family Wedding" is a ceremony that can be done in a short time in casual attire during your family's Okinawa trip.

Couples who were busy with childbirth and raising children and were unable to get married are able to celebrate the fact that their child has been born and become a member of the family together with the couple who have been supporting and helping them all this time. On their wedding anniversary, they convey their usual gratitude to the couple and make it a memorable page in their memories.

As a surprise gift from your husband on important days such as your golden wedding anniversary or other special occasions, or from your children to thank your parents, it would surely be appreciated.

    Clear sky on January 26, 2015 (Monday)! Temperature 22 degrees.

    It's a surprisingly warm day for January.

    Today is the day of the mock wedding ceremony for the "Okinawa Family Wedding" program.

    We head to the “Small Wedding” wedding salon located within the Southern Beach Hotel in Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture.

    I arrived at the salon and immediately greeted the star of the day.

    We are the Oku Hideki family, Aiumi and Kai-on.

    We are the Oku Hideki family, Aiumi and Kai-on.

    The couple who have been married for three years said that they had been visiting Okinawa every year while dating, and that their children also love the sea, which is why they named their child that way.

    Shionkun has now turned 2 and a half years old, and to show the ocean that the two of them love the most, he/she applied to be a part of the "Okinawa Family Wedding" program this time.

    The "Okinawa Family Wedding" is a ceremony that can be performed in casual attire, meaning you don't need to visit the salon multiple times beforehand. On the day of the ceremony, you simply arrive at the venue directly from there. The point is that it's a convenient way to have a wedding without having to plan a trip beforehand.

    After getting their hair and makeup done, the two of them met with the planner.

    We receive a preliminary explanation of the ceremony procedures and then convey our requests.

    This time, during the exchange of rings, Hinokuni-kun will be handing over the rings to the two of you.

    Haikon-kun will be giving the two of them a ring.

    Next, we will move to the Chapel "Seashell Blue" to rehearse the ceremony.

    After checking the flow from the entrance to the exit, the real action begins.

    The "Okinawa Family Wedding" is a public ceremony, so there is no priest present; the officiant (the host) conducts the ceremony.

    Let's take a look at the equation now!

    Admission

    First, representatives from both families will enter the hall, and the groom and bride, along with their children, will enter together.

    Haikon-kun seems to be excited too and enjoying it!

    The bride and groom, along with their children, will enter the ceremony together.

    Ceremony for the bride and groom

    I vow before the attendees that we will become a couple.

    I think it must be a moment when you remember the initial days of your marriage and the moment your child was born, and you are able to make a new decision.

    Haikon-kun hands the ring to the groom and the bride.

    I was worried about whether my father and mother would be able to do it well, but they accomplished a great task.

    The ceremony of your family

    The representatives of both families declare that the two families will become one and will help each other from now on.

    By declaring this together, the distance between the two families will be even further reduced.

    We will attach a sticker that you have previously written your name on to the original marriage certificate from "Okinawan Family Wedding".

    The Family Coral is themed around coral, symbolizing the prosperity of the family and the fact that they have become one family. It is a ceremony that children can also enjoy.

    We will shake hands to commemorate the fact that the representatives of both families and the bride and groom have become one family.

    This is a ceremony made especially for Seashhell Blue.

    The family handshake is a ceremony unique to the Sechills Blue original.

    Leaving

    After the officiant gives the closing remarks, the bride and groom will leave the room for a moment.

    Once the groom and bride reenter the chapel, everyone present will take photos.

    Usually, the photos will be taken with your own camera.

    Everyone attending the event will take photos.

    That concludes the ceremony of the "Okinawa Family Wedding."
    We asked the couple who had finished the ceremony for their impressions of today!

    The groom
    I didn’t have many opportunities to do this because I have children, but being able to hold the ceremony with my children was a very good memory.
    Bride-to-be
    I was worried about what would happen initially, but seeing that everyone was wearing Kariyushi wear today made it look beautiful and I was glad that we had a ceremony again, including when both families shook hands during the ceremony.

    The voices of the bride and groom

    After all, a ceremony with children present is different from a regular wedding, and it is lively and pleasant.

    What's more, the children are adorable!

    One of the great things about "Okinawa Family Wedding" is that you can hold the ceremony in a relaxed atmosphere with your family.

    Okinawa Family Wedding is a ceremony for couples who have not had a wedding, or for those who want to reaffirm the warmth of their family, such as for their 20th wedding anniversary. Why not try Okinawa Family Wedding while you are Okinawa Journeys?

    Hamagawa Chikuya, Wakaba, and Kaeru (Kairi) family

    On Tuesday, February 3, in Okinawa at this time of year, it is the coldest season of the year. In the morning there was light rain, but the weather was a bit uncertain, but then the rain stopped and we were relieved.

    Let’s head to “Chapel Diamond Ocean” located within Okinawa Kariyushi Beach Resort Ocean Spa in Enme Village, Okinawa Prefecture!

    "Chapel Diamond Ocean" is a beautiful location with a magnificent sea view that resembles a small hill! It offers an open-air feeling that blends into the 360-degree view.

    Climbing up the hill that has become smaller, a spacious hall with an open space welcomes you. From there, you reach the Ocean Tower. On the 1st floor there is a wedding salon. Ms. Kazuhara, the bride, was in the salon at the time. She had already been getting ready.

    The groom, Tomiki, and his eldest son, Kairu, as well as their parents, are strolling around the hotel grounds. It seems they are having a relaxing time as a family...

    The ceremony is finally about to begin!

    When the Hamagawa family returns from their walk, they will lead you to the chapel.

    That’s when their parents first learn about the “wedding.” It’s a surprise of gratitude from the groom and the bride!

    The parents, unable to contain their surprise, were surrounded by many staff members as rehearsals continued, creating a pleasant sense of tension for the live performance.

    Admission

    At "Okinawan Family Wedding," first, the parents enter and welcome the main couple, the bride and groom.

    Following in the footsteps of his parents, his son Kairu made a dignified entrance alone, even though he was still a small child.

    And with the family watching over them, the groom and bride, the stars of today, will enter.

    It was a wonderful time to be watching everyone being congratulated, and I was also very grateful!
    We asked the Hamagawa family, who had just had their wedding ceremony, for their impressions!

    The groom
    After being married for three years, I was busy and couldn’t get married.
    I wanted my parents to be happy, so I said I was going to see the cherry blossoms and kept it a secret until now.
    Because the sea around Chapel is so beautiful and attractive, we decided on Chapel Diamond Ocean!
    Bride-to-be
    Today was fun! It was interesting to have Haireyu with me too.

    The voices of the bride and groom

    This family wedding was discovered by the bride's friend Yajima while she was browsing the internet, and was planned by Chigyu and her parents in Kumejima, and they wanted to present it to their parents in Osaka.

    To make their parents happy, the surprise was kept a secret until the very last moment, and the father’s tearful appearance was a very heartwarming scene of a wonderful wedding.

    By covering this wedding ceremony this time, I wanted to let as many people as possible know about the Okinawa Family Wedding that is built by the family, and to create heartwarming memories.

    It was a very lovely wedding ceremony as the atmosphere became warmer.
