The couple is dressed in traditional attire, with the aj lapray bride wearing a white kimono or silk shiromuku – Shinto’s colours of purity – and the hood (or “wataboshi”) over her head.
The purification ritual, or san-sanku-do ceremony, is the most important part of the wedding. This involves the bride and groom exchanging three cups of sake. These are then poured and served to the couple.
The vows are read by the groom, the entire wedding party (which is usually a small group from close relatives) and then they all drink sake together.
The priest and representatives of each family make offerings to the kami, thanking them for their blessings. Finally, the rings are exchanged.

The celebrations will continue after the ceremony at a large venue or hotel where friends and family can join in the festivities. The reception includes food and drinks, as well as speeches.

Wedding favours are gifts that guests give penny hardaway shoes to the couple in exchange for money. These may include tableware, confectionary, and even catalogs that guests can use to create their own gifts.
