As it isn't even a thing on Google, i have no idea what you're talking about. Typo ?

I've seen many photos of their marriage at the time, all i can say is that it was just their un-Japanese faces all over the photos , but it was just the real thing in the real place with the right clothes and all, in Japan. I know nothing about the Japanese culture of marriage, but i've seen some Japanese marriage pics before, and their was splendid to me.
As for me, full Indonesian Javanese style (but with an Indonesian partner). To each his own, but with style.
I'd be up for a nice Indian marriage, that must be quite something too, but then i'd be stuck stuffing myself with the buffet, big time...

The food ! That's a nice thing too when marrying abroad.

Karaoke + frogs (French but now with four legs and green) + croaking sound (some ribbit some croak)

Isn't this type of behaviour called cultural appropriation in all our progressive woke western countries?

Any wedding that has no legal basis nor ramifications must be a good thing.

Haha. The only people being offended are doing it by proxy. I think most are lying anyway, they aren't really offended, they've just been brainwashed to think they ought to be and then parrot out their lines.

Good on the couple and wish for success in their future together.

As for me, I wouldn’t wish a full on Khmer wedding for anyone. It’s too long, too complicated, and too hot outside. There are stories of entire families needing IV rehydration the next day to recover. As for me, I never even had a chance to even taste the reception dinner. Between greeting guests coming and going, costume changes, photo shoots, and the required ceremonies, Missus has to feed me cookies to keep me fainting from hunger. And I got the short version. Khmer weddings can last 5 days or more.

Was it worth it? Yes, because missus is Khmer. It’s important to her and her family. For a ceremony that might have no cultural importance nor legal binding, not something I would imagine as fun.
