If you are invited to a Japanese wedding, you gotta know that you can’t bring a plus one. People in Japan are going to be surprised if you bring one!

  1. Actually according to classic wedding etiquette, only the person whose name is written on the invitation is invited. People often either mistakenly assume they’re allowed to bring a plus one or they just do it because they don’t want to be a solo wedding guest. When I got married I wrote the names of a husband and wife on the envelope and they sent back the RSVP with 5 additional guests written on it. As it was from my now ex-husband’s side of the family, I made him call the couple and tell them that they can’t bring 5 additional people. What nerve.

  2. Japanese should leave their pride and at least learn how to organize a decent wedding. All these rules, mf are they attending a japanese wedding or a military bootcamp

  3. Happened to me living in Okinawa my good local friend was invited ask me then said she jumped the gun and they said she was only invited during to space in 1994 near torii station.

  4. As my stepcousin got married the first time my parents and my brothers were invited, except my husband and me. I was totally fine with it, my biological mother didn't like it at all. And not even because of me, but because she was once again in this uncomfortable situation to decide for or against me. I was perfectly fine with not being invited, especially as we were never quite close and I didn't care. AND because I see wedding as a day for the married couple and not as a show of the "Hautevolaute"

  5. Is that Erina from the "a day in the life of a Japanese Car Repair Worker in Toyota?"

  6. My culture it’s the complete opposite a real estate agent invited my mom and she brought along all my uncles and aunts. Theres always a lot of random people lol. 😭

  7. Number 2: Saying it will be three things and then present one is considered clickbait!

  8. Is it just me or does the bride look a lot like the Day in a Life of an auto repair shop worker in Toyota woman? If it is, I'm happy for her to be married now!

  9. Divorce is still pretty taboo in Japan, so people there try more to follow etiquette. The general idea is that it's only going to happen one time and they can't fuck it up, so they need to follow the rules. In the US, marriage is a joke. Divorce is so common that weddings are just a party that doesn't need to be respected

  10. Unless someone is married, I don’t understand the obligatory +1 to weddings, especially if I don’t even know the person and each person costs a few hundred to host.
