1.Since Japanese weddings are expensive, do you think having a massive wedding like Korea or UAE is a good idea? Why?
In my opinion, it is a good thing if the person who have a wedding has enough money to do it. Wedding is a important thing in our life (for women), and it is worth doing. I'm longing to have a massive wedding...haha
2. What do you think about eloping? Is it a good idea or romantic? Why?
Umm..it is a difficult question. In the world of TV or drama, it may be romantic. It sounds lovely because it means that the person throws away everything for her/him lover. But I think it is just romantic. I don't want to do it because I want my/my husband's parents to bless us!!
3. Have you ever thought about having a wedding in a foreign location like Hawaii? Would you do it? Why?Or Why not?
No, I haven't thought it before. Wedding in a foreign location is very expensive, and I cannot invite many friends.
4.What is your ideal wedding?
My ideal wedding is...as I said at question 1, I'm longing to have a massive wedding. I want wear many dressses, and cut a big cake with my husband!lol But also, I'm interested in a small wedding with our family and close friends. Anyway, I want to have a wedding which matchs well for me.
5.What would you definitely do, wear or go to on that big day? Why is that important?
I will go to a beauty-treatment clinic before that big day, and prepare a beautiful dresses or jewelry. These things are very important to me because it is the greatest event in my life!!
6. Have you ever been to a foreigner's wedding? What was your impression?
No, I haven't..I really want to experience it.
