Summary: "We follow a Japanese man and woman in the days leading
up to their marriage -- and along the way we learn much about the
astonishing diversity of wedding ceremonies in Japan, and about
Japanese attitudes to marriage. Marriage in Japan is a subject thet
amany foreign students of Japanese and others find intriguing -- and
perplexing! What's the significance of the three "highs" (high level of
education, high income, high phisical stature)? If you're not a Christian,
why get married in a church? Why does a edding in Japan cost so
much money? These are just a few of the topics examined in thi
video". -- FROM CONTAINER.
