goo Ranking recently conducted a survey into when people think ?we don?t really have to have our own wedding ceremony or reception!?
Demographics
From the 6th to the 9th of July 2012 1,016 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 60.0% of the sample were female, 9.9% in their teens, 12.7% in their twenties, 29.0% in their thirties, 27.0% in their forties, 11.0% in their fifties, and 10.3% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. I?m not sure if unmarried people were excluded or just had to imagine how it might be for them.
I found this photo on Flick, and there?s something quite appropriate about it all just being a non-descript blur.
Japanese weddings are on the whole hopelessly formulaic, almost production line-like with a standard set of cliched events running through them; the entrance, friends doing an ?amusing? skit, the bride dress change, the candle lighting, etc, etc, all running on a strict timetable ? none of this open bar, dancing until dawn and amusing vandalisation of the new couple?s car, let alone people passing out drunk, the embarassing uncle trying to get off with the bridesmaid, or even a fist fight or two.
Just to toot my own horn, however, a number of our friends said our wedding was one of the best they?d been to, which I put down mostly to us actually smiling. If you ever look at Japanese wedding photos, especially the formal ones, it is not the done thing for the groom to look happy.
