About Camila's presentation.
I don't know about Denmark.
But I heard Camila's presentation, I'm very interested.
I most surprise about put fruit jam(?) on the rice!!!!!
I don't believe it!!!!!
But, Camila and Meiki said "It's very good taste."!!!!
I think food style varies with country.
If I have a chance, I want to eat put jam on the rice maybe....


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.
But, I image couple who elope have very deep love!! They can stick to love!!!
I think very wonderful!!
But, if a couple elope, they can't meet family and life is difficulty. maybe...


3. Have you ever thought about having a wedding in a foreign location like Hawaii? Would you do it? Why?Or Why not?

Yes, I had.
Wedding in a foreign location is very wonderful and dream.
I read a lot of magazine, web site or TV foreign location and church are very beautiful!! If I can wedding with this location, maybe I feel happy!!
But, wedding in a foreign country is very expensive!



4.What is your ideal wedding?

I don't want to have wedding ceremony because I'm very shy.
In wedding ceremony, I am always looked and take picture from family and friends.
I can't bear this situation!!
So, I want to hold a party to invite few friends and choose my favorite restaurant, (likes 二次会)
and I get married at a great church only groom and I.



5.What would you definitely do, wear or go to on that big day? Why is that important?

I wear beautiful dress, make up my face, and go to salon shop.
Because, I want to dress up in big day!! It's very important!!


6. Have you ever been to a foreigner's wedding? What was your impression?

No, I haven't.
But I look foreigner's wedding on TV and movies. My impression is that foreign wedding is very holiness.
Many Japanese people don't believe Christ, but many couples take wedding at a church.
Form is like christian wedding, but I don't feel that there is not Gog.
