Lived in Japan twice during my service. We went to a traditional Japanese wedding... WOW. I don't know how normal people pay for it over there.
There was a traditional Japanese service for family and very close friends only, delux kimonos that had to have been very expensive. This was followed by a "western" type service, bride in flowing white gown, groom in tuxedo...
After the sit-down banquet and orchestra... finally time to go home. Guests were given a gift bag on the way out to thank them for spending the day with the couple... and it had an assortment of not-cheap presents... clocks, little Waterford figurines, pen/pencil sets, very expensive looking chopsticks and bowls...
wow
