15 is the luckiest day of the year in Japan. At 9: 00 am local time on June 5438+05, Kuroda sent his cousin "emissary" to the palace to hold a wedding ceremony, which was called "wedding ceremony" in history.
At about 10 in the morning, the princess wearing a white satin dress and a pearl necklace walked out of the palace gate of Erzong Bridge and took the Emperor's royal car "Nissan Prince" to the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. Thousands of people gathered on the way from the palace to the Imperial Hotel to visit the princess and congratulate her. In the morning 1 1, the emperor and his wife came to congratulate the wedding.
In the morning 1 1, the ceremony was held at the ranch wedding venue of Imperial Hotel in Tokyo with a traditional Shinto ceremony. The bride Kiko is wearing a white silk dress, and the groom Fang Shu Kuroda is wearing a black tuxedo and a silver tie. Twenty-three members of the royal family, including Mrs. Akihito, Mrs. Naruhito and Mrs. Akihito, and eight members of her husband's family were invited to watch the ceremony. The ceremony was simple and grand, lasting about 20 minutes. This is the first time that a Japanese royal princess has chosen to hold a wedding in a private hotel. Press conference at 2:00 pm "I will become a member of Kuroda"
At the press conference held at 2 pm, Kiko made no secret of her happiness. She talked about her feelings and thoughts about her new life. She said: "I am very grateful to all parties for their support." My time with His Majesty the King and members of the royal family will be cherished in my heart. As a member of Kuroda, I want to learn many new things and start a new life. The bride's name is Sayako Kuroda. She has been a princess for 36 years, and now she is a housewife. At 3 pm, French food will be the main course of the wedding banquet.
The wedding reception is held at 3 pm. At this time, the white wedding dress just worn was specially replaced by a kimono symbolizing "sunny day" by Seiko as a wedding dress, which was treasured by Empress Michiko for many years. The couple invited about 150 guests. To the surprise of traditional Japanese, such a grand wedding banquet is not dominated by Japanese food, but a combination of French appetizers, main courses and desserts. The whole reception lasted about 75 minutes. At 4 pm, the "location" of the honeymoon is still a secret.
After the wedding reception, the couple drove to their new home in Mibai District, Tokyo, which is a serviced apartment not far from the Imperial Palace. The location of their honeymoon has not been announced, but Japanese media speculated that the couple might choose to spend their wedding holiday at Ise Shrine in central Japan.
Yuan Hai tidbits: Mother and daughter are reluctant to part.
Michiko, the mother of the Japanese Empress, is unwilling to give up her daughter's marriage. The deep relationship between mother and daughter can be seen from the kimono worn by Princess Jigong at Michiko's wedding when she was young. On the wedding day of June 5438+05, the careful queen prepared a sewing kit and a first-aid kit for the princess as necessities for her future life. A strong earthquake happened on the wedding day.
June, 5438+October, 2004 10, Princess Kiko suffered a major earthquake, and she had to postpone the date of announcing her marriage. However, on the morning of her wedding 15, another earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 occurred in northeastern Japan, so Princess Kiko was called "the bride of disaster" by the Japanese media. People rushed to watch the royal gifts.
In order to celebrate the wedding of Princess Jigong, a museum in Kyoto, Japan held an exhibition of royal wedding souvenirs, which let people see the most exquisite wedding souvenirs of this century. A special souvenir of the royal wedding is wedding candy boxes presented to guests, each of which is only the size of a palm. Plainclothes will still protect the princess.
