“Cherish this moment when you can be with the people you long to see” — a toast at magic hour, and a vow exchanged at the aquarium after dark.

—Wedding Party Report—
Having worked in a field related to life and death, these two know better than anyone the preciousness of time spent with people coming together and laughing.
We met as high school classmates, and for the past six years, we've supported each other with kindness, even through the challenges of long distances and busy schedules.

THE LUIGANS with its expansive views of the sea and lush greenery, was chosen as the perfect venue for friends and family gathering from afar to enjoy a warm and friendly time together, much like a class reunion.
This is the start of a special day to cherish this irreplaceable moment and share smiles.

-Dress & Tuxedo-
For her special day, the bride chose the "OLESKA" dress by Mira Zwillinger, which she found at TREAT.
A delicate beading adorns this mermaid dress, which sparkles subtly, complementing a slicked-back high bun and baroque pearls.

The groom was dressed in a black double-breasted suit by Rubinacci, cherishing the craftsmanship behind the fabric and tailoring.
This classic yet uniquely sophisticated style will further enhance the dignified presence of the couple.

Welcome to Life
The welcome space features paper items designed to resemble aquarium tickets and a selection of Fukuoka's signature Menbei crackers as a token of hospitality.

The special way to welcome guests is through an interactive experience where they can choose one drop from three fragrances, representing the "secret to a happy marriage."
Each drop in the beaker, imbued with the heartfelt wishes of all the guests, will lead to the important moment of vows that will follow.
From the numbered sugar caramels to the handmade menu, the couple's attention to detail was evident in every aspect.

The couple had certain ideas they absolutely wanted to fulfill regarding the seating arrangement and how they wanted to spend their time.
The feelings you expressed during the meeting with the planner were

"We want to break away from the traditional format where the bride and groom are in front and the guests are seated and watching."
"We want to create an environment where guests aren't stuck seated the whole time, but can move around freely and naturally engage in conversation and interaction with each other."
"To ensure that guests from the same group, even if there are many of them, can sit together as much as possible."

The bride and groom were originally high school classmates.
To fulfill our wish that you have a fun and relaxed time, just like a class reunion.
Instead of a wedding ceremony followed by a reception, we started with a standing buffet party in the garden.

-Garden Ceremony-
The unconventional party begins with the wedding reception.
A private garden facing the venue, bathed in pleasant sunlight.

The moment the couple came into view, a natural flower-lined path formed among the guests.
Looking closely at the faces of each and every guest who has gathered here today
They later told me that this moment, when they were showered with cheers and a lifetime's worth of "congratulations," was the most memorable for them.

In the ring band ceremony held prior to the wedding ceremony...
A friend cut the ribbon to present the precious ring, which was tied with a ribbon and pearls.
The entire garden erupts in thunderous applause as the heartwarming moment of the wedding, with all the important people in attendance, becomes a part of the celebration.

The sky is gradually being tinged with a deep orange. My favorite time of day: magic hour.
To help you enjoy this special time, we have prepared a special beer buffet featuring brands from all over the world.

My favorite music that I always listen to, and a beer that tastes even better than usual.
Just like a scene from my favorite movie, "The Fast and the Furious," a moment where beloved family and friends gather, laughing together with their favorite drinks in hand.
In the garden, where a pleasant breeze blew through, the sound of glasses clinking echoed, and the entire venue deepened its bonds as one "family."

.
Table Coordinate
"We want everyone to be able to share a meal together, even if there are many people," said the couple.
We created a special layout with a large long table and round tables side by side.

The main seating area is adorned with decorations inspired by "flower arrangements in a vase," creating a memorable and impressive design that will stay in the memories of all guests.

And what further embodied the idea of "sharing the same table" was for the bride and groom to dine at the same table as their guests.

The couple valued the time they spent with their guests and deliberately chose not to change their attire.
The bride and groom themselves will go to the guest tables, sit next to the guests, and enjoy the meal together.
"It's delicious," we said, looking at each other and engaging in direct conversation. It was a truly delightful and luxurious moment.

.
—Cuisine—

From two people who love food and drink, we present the flavors of Fukuoka, their hometown, to everyone gathered from all over the country.
Enjoy Hakata's famous sesame amberjack and fresh fish caught in the Genkai Sea and the waters off Kyushu, prepared right before your eyes by skilled Edo-style sushi chefs.
Shochu and sake made by local breweries, etc.
Now that they live apart, they can enjoy delicious food from their hometowns in Fukuoka and Kyushu.
It was the couple's way of showing the utmost hospitality to their guests.

In the middle of the party, instead of the usual cake cutting,
In the waiting area, all the guests wrote their names on a Daruma doll, and then the "eye-painting" ceremony took place.
The one-of-a-kind Daruma doll, imbued with the feelings of loved ones, became a thoughtful gesture that would allow memories to remain forever.

Before concluding, a message from the couple to everyone.
Warm feelings conveyed directly
"We keep in mind that being able to see the people we want to see every day, laughing together, and sharing meals and time together are not things to be taken for granted, and we make it our motto as a couple to enjoy the present moment."
That's why I wanted to have the wedding now, when all my family and friends can gather together.
Whether it was seeing people we hadn't seen in a long time or those who support us every day, every single smile we saw here today is a truly precious treasure to us.
I hope that in the midst of your busy days, you'll remember today and feel a little bit of warmth in your heart.

After receiving the words, everyone raised their toasts again with "One More Cheers," followed by a video filled with memories of their youth.
Before we knew it, the entire venue had spontaneously stood up, linked arms, and waved their hands as they sang along to Shonan no Kaze's "Junrenka" (Pure Love Song).
The scene of them leaving the stage while passing the microphone around was an unforgettable and perfect climax, filled with tears and smiles.

Having already completed a Shinto wedding ceremony with only family members present, the couple had planned the day's events to focus on their friends.
When the host asked the parents how they felt today without using the microphone,
"It was a truly wonderful wedding, as I got to see sides of my son and daughter that I don't usually see, and to realize how much support they have from their friends that has made this day possible," they said.
Parents smiling proudly

We also received heartwarming messages for the couple from their friends who were guests.
"We were able to reaffirm our mutual feelings and realize how glad we were to have met these people."
"This was the most intimate and enjoyable wedding I've ever been to."

-Ceremony-
After the wedding reception, still buzzing with excitement, the stage shifted to Marine World Uminonakamichi, enveloped in the quiet silence after closing time.
This is a place where precious memories of the couple, including their first date, rest.

After the mother gently lowers the veil, the couple enters, each holding hands with their beloved siblings.
The aquarium at night is a complete contrast to its daytime appearance, a truly mystical place.
The blue light from the large aquarium enveloped the couple and their guests.

In front of the large, shimmering blue aquarium, they exchanged not conventional words, but heartfelt letters to each other. Here are some excerpts from those letters.

"Six years ago, I never imagined that I'd be having my wedding in this very place where I couldn't confess my feelings."
I love you for being so considerate of others and for always encouraging me.
I promise to protect your smile no matter what challenges you face from now on."
The groom said...

The bride, with tears in her eyes, expressed her gratitude, saying, "Even during difficult times and days when I felt like crying, I was able to overcome them thanks to your kindness."
Six years' worth of feelings and determination were conveyed directly.

The couple each added a drop to the fragrance chosen by their guests in the welcome space, creating a one-of-a-kind perfume.
The fragrance is sprayed onto the paper marriage certificate, a ceremony of approval that seals together memories and scent.
An engagement cover ceremony was held in the garden, where the engagement ring was placed on top of the wedding rings that had been exchanged.

As a final farewell, the thank-you tags on the small gifts were infused with this fragrance, handing over the lingering feeling of happy memories to the guests.
A couple, brought together by a special connection, exchange vows as husband and wife, surrounded by their loved ones.
It was an unforgettable night.
