To the couple considering a wedding with Michinoku Wakon, from the Date Family.

Shinto shrines are regarded as symbols of Japan's unique spiritual culture. As guardian deities of the local community, they protect both the nation's peace and our daily lives. Sendai is home to numerous shrines with deep ties to the Date clan, revered since the feudal era. Generations of clan leaders have served as chief priests, continuing this tradition unbroken to the present day.
At our shrine wedding ceremonies, we are honored to witness your new beginning and pray for your happiness.
Date Munemune 18th Head of the Date Clan

Minekou Ikeda

Throughout life, people encounter various milestones. These are called rites of passage. Among them, the wedding ceremony can be said to be the most splendid, mysterious, and beautiful.
We earnestly hope that by renewing their feelings of love and respect for each other, and through beautiful etiquette, Japan's traditional culture will continue.
Mr. Mineo Ikeda Sendai Domain Etiquette Instructor

TRUST YOUR WAY
The future you believe in lies deep within the path ahead

私は東日本大震災を経験しました
震災で「今ある当たり前が、当たり前ではない」ことを痛感しました
そして新型コロナウイルスの影響で健康や人とのつながりが脅かされ、同じことをまた感じました
地震やコロナで多くの価値あるものが一瞬にして失われていきました
失って改めて本当に必要なものは「何か」に気づきました
失われても必要なものは、ふたたび人の意志で蘇り、想いと共に大切に紡がれていく
それが「文化」であり、「伝統」ではないかと思います
どんな災難のなかであっても、人が想いを持てば、
必ずつなぎ、残せるものなのだと信じています

日本の伝統、心を大切にしているのが和の結婚式です
プランナーを始めた当初、花嫁目線だった私は
今、親目線で結婚式を見守ることができていることを嬉しく思います
結婚式は、親が「育てる」役割から「見守る」役割になる日とも言えます
大切に育てた我が子を送り出す、親の大切な節目の日

たくさんのしあわせな子供時代から、愛しみ育てた“むすめ”が白無垢を纏い美しい花嫁となる
“むすこ”はいつもよりもなんか頼りがいがあって凛々しい
誓いの言葉を、堂々と晴れやかに読み上げた姿を見たときは、これ以上にない誇らしく感じる
親には喜びと切なさで胸がいっぱいの、うれしくて…すこしさみしい日でもあります

ふたりが今こうして出逢えたのも、命を与えてくれた親・先祖の存在があってこそ
どうしても商業用チャペルでのウェディングドレスと披露宴がメインになりがちなのが現代の結婚式
私たちは人生儀礼の中で、唯一二人だけで行う儀式(挙式)に重きを置き
親御様・ご先祖様に自分が生まれてきたことに感謝できる時間を
いつも一緒に過ごし支えてくれた友人にありがとうを伝えられる自分を
結婚式で感じていただきたいのです
「ありがとう」の言葉を素直に伝えられるのが『結婚』というタイミングなのです

おふたりが選び結婚式を挙げた神社仏閣は、家族や列席者にとっても思い出深い大切な場所となります
結婚式をきっかけに周年記念や、初詣・安産祈願・お宮参り・七五三など節目ごとに何度も足を運び
ずっと縁を紡いでいける場所となります
神社仏閣は決してなくなることはありません
今までもこれからも、ずっとそこにあり続け、いつでも足を運べる場所それが「神社仏閣」なのです
お二人の結婚式を挙げた大切な場所は絶対に無くなってほしくない、ずっとあり続けてほしいのです

「美しきこの世のものは、時が経つにつれ汚れたり、欠けたりして変化する
それを劣化と否定的にとらえず変化が織りなす多様な美しさを肯定する」
という意味をもつ『詫び寂び』という言葉があります
結婚した当初はもちろん美しいふたり。時間が経つにつれてお互い笑いシワもできるし体型も変わる
それだけ長い時間をお互いが一緒に過ごしていく
その変化を美しいと思える心を、神社仏閣で行う和の結婚式を通して
学び心の指標としていってほしいと思います

私たちが一生で出会う人、何らかの接点を持つ人は一生で約30,000人といわれています
そのなかでおふたりにこうして出逢えたことに心より感謝いたします
おふたりの結婚の日が
しあわせを感じ、
感謝のあふれる時間となりますように…

私たち、みちのく和婚に出逢っていただき「ありがとうございます!」
