Just like everywhere else in the world, weddings in Japan are both pleasurable and pricey, regardless of whether they are traditional Shinto ceremonies, or less formal, foreigner officiated affairs.
In fact, the main difference from weddings in the West used to be the rather low divorce rate — but not anymore. Separations are now nowhere near as scarce, and, due to a recent change in the law regarding a partner’s pension payments, the numbers look set to soar.
However, when a marriage goes into meltdown, it obviously makes no difference where the couple met, or made their home. And the way this man (or indeed woman) recklessly dumped the big day bouquet and album by the roadside,
the partnership presumably hit rock bottom at a rapid, and utterly irreconcilable, rate.
Paul says
How utterly depressing those pictures are. There’s probably a terrible tale of woe behind it all. You should write a book about it.
Lee says
There certainly must be Paul, but to write more I’d have to meet them, and hear more about what happened. But to be honest, I don’t think I’d want to. Just coming across the stuff they had thrown away was sad enough.
I have more pictures of several other albums they threw away, including some of the reception, if you are interested…
Neil Duckett says
It does make you wonder the complete story though …
Paul says
Just make something up.
Kenji says
I loves he, but not to be. We marry in Kagoshima and live at Tachikawa. I meat nice guy now, so not want things. I shockd to see my phootos.
Paul says
Is the post above for real? I think we should be told.
Lee says
If it is Paul, the ‘wife’ has a bloke’s name.
Perhaps that was at the root of the problem…
Paul says
Ha ha ha! Perhaps it came up on their wedding night.
Boom boom!
