1.Since Japanese weddings are expensive, do you think having a massive wedding like Korea or UAE is a good idea? Why?
I think massive wedding is unnecessary.
I image massive wedding (a lot of direction, many invite guests, beautiful dress, luxurious foods and so on) is very commercialize. I have question, how many people heartily congratulate for a couple? and Why should I have massive wedding?
I want to have wedding ceremony that all people heartily congratulate for me.
If ceremony is very small, I don't mind it.
Feeling is more important than formalities.
2. What do you think about eloping? Is it a good idea or romantic? Why?
Eloping is very romantic!
I think eloping is a good idea. I have never meet a couple who elope, so eloping is not reality.

I think very wonderful!!
