Japanese Wedding Ceremony
Today I will go to my friend’s party associated with his marriage.
日本の結婚式
(I will be careful not to drink too much.)
今日は、友人の結婚パーティに向かいます。
Recently in Japan, about half of married couples don’t hold a wedding ceremony.
（もうへべれけにはならないように注意します。）
The main reason is because it costs too much money or it’s difficult to prepare for it.
最近の日本では、結婚したカップルの約半数が、結婚式を挙げていないようです。
Also, from the same reasons, couples that hold a small wedding ceremony with only their relatives have increased.
理由としてはお金がかかるから、準備が大変だから、などが多いです。
My friend and his partner belong to such a couple — today’s party is just a party with their friends to celebrate their marriage, which is not a wedding ceremony.
そして、上記の理由から、結婚式を挙げるカップルも親族だけの小さな結婚式にする傾向があります。
Maybe you should consider a wedding ceremony, because I found several interesting information: about 90% of couples who held a wedding ceremony were satisfied it; about 30% of couples who didn’t held a wedding ceremony divorced; almost all women have a longing for a wedding ceremony.
私の友人もそのようなカップルの一組で、今日は結婚式とは別に友人だけで楽しむ単なるパーティというわけです。
