Japanese style wedding

Shinto wedding
Christian style of weddings are popular - Japanese people like the long white dresses,veils - its ideal wedding for most women. 
Congratulatory Gift of money
After the wedding ceremony, we have the wedding reception as is the same in the West. This is usually a dinner or banquet with food and drinks. There is a wedding cake, too.

If you are invited to a Japanese wedding reception, you need to bring a congratulatory gifts of money. The average price of the money is about 30,000 yen. (instead, no gift is needed)

Recently many foreigners who visited Japan have interest in this bag of congratulatory gift of money - as one of art. They buy this bag (photo) as their souvenir. I wonder how they will use it...

The cost of wedding is quite high for brides and bloom.
The average cost to hold a wedding ceremony AND wedding reception is about 3,000,000 yen (to invite 60 people in a hotel or wedding hall)
Recently the less expensive wedding style is popular among younger people -just get a wedding ceremony at shrine which cost about 100,000-150,000 yen and easy party at a restaurant among close friend.
