195, the first wedding of the Showa era

...

What was a wedding like in Showa era Tokyo?

In Naoki Nagayama's memory, he had participated several times before, but they were always with adults.

It was probably just an announcement banquet. This was the first wedding he attended during the Showa era.

Wonta Nakai chose a church-style wedding, just like Yamaguchi Momoe. In addition to the disclosure banquet, there was also a second party.

On the morning of the 27th, after Naoki Nagayama and Taro finished their morning exercises, they put on a suit and prepared to attend the wedding.

Looking at the handsome guy in the mirror, Naoki Nagayama was glad that Wonta Nakai didn't invite him to be the best man, otherwise the groom would have been robbed of all the limelight at the wedding.

"Yingtaro, please stay at home today!"

Nagayama Naoki prepared food for the little one, and after giving some instructions, he took the gift money and drove to the church next to the Tokyo Prince Hotel.

First the ceremony is held in the church, then the wedding banquet is held in the hotel, and then there is a second meeting. Speaking of which, the wedding ceremony is indeed quite troublesome.

The newlyweds are both highly educated and relatively Westernized people. They did not choose the more traditional wedding in front of God or Buddha, otherwise the complexity would probably be doubled.

When we arrived outside the church, relatives of the Nakai family were already guiding us. The time had not yet come, but we could already see many people waiting outside the church.

Wonta Nakai is a top student at Hitotsubashi Academy and has entered a bank job. She is very popular among her friends. Naturally, many people come to attend the wedding. On the other hand, Suzumi Hoshino is also a school beauty at the music school.

A level with a lot of friends,

Including their relatives, more than a hundred people came to the church, but Naoki Nagayama didn't even recognize him.

After seeing the invitation letter and the gift, Nagayama Naoki was led by his relatives to the third row of church chairs, which belonged to the man’s closest friends.

There were several young and beautiful young ladies doing this next to them.

Nagayama Naoki secretly complained in his heart: "With so many close female friends, isn't Wonta Nakai afraid of Suzumi-san being jealous?"

When these young ladies saw Nagayama Naoki, they actually exclaimed a little, and then they started whispering, and occasionally glanced at Nagayama Naoki.

Huh...not reserved at all~

But this was in a holy church, and they didn’t become more presumptuous~

In fact, Naoki Nagayama likes to stay at home more and more recently. One of the reasons why he is always recognized when he goes out is.

Because of the popularity of the movie, more and more people know his face. Even if they don't recognize who he is, his handsome face will attract some young ladies to come over and strike up a conversation.

.......

After waiting for about half an hour, the pastor walked up to the pulpit and announced that the wedding ceremony had officially begun.

Following the brisk melody, Wonta Nakai, who was wearing a neat suit, entered the church first, nodding to relatives and friends along the way, and of course he also saw Naoki Nagayama.

The next group of groomsmen and bridesmaids are all in place, and the most important part is about to begin.

Suzumi Hoshino, who was wearing a white wedding dress, slowly walked into the auditorium holding her father's hand under the guidance of the flower girl. Then, under the attention of everyone, she entrusted the bride's hand to the groom.

Under the guidance of the priest, the two made a lifelong promise, exchanged each other's rings, and then kissed each other...

Probably every girl who wants to get married will hope to have such a romantic wedding.

Anyway, Nagayama Naoki saw the young ladies next to him clapping and crying. He didn't know for a moment whether they were sad for the groom or blessing the bride.

The wedding ceremony is over, and the next wedding banquet is at the Tokyo Prince Hotel, about 1 kilometer away.

In addition to people from the church, more relatives and friends arrived at the wedding banquet. Naoki Nagayama followed the guidance and got together with a group of unknown men. However, the table next to him was Ito Shinyuki, a senior of Nakai Wonta Bank.

He even greeted Nagayama Naoki in a friendly way, he is a big customer after all~

The bride and groom came on stage again, cut the wedding cake, and then the elders of both parties made speeches, and the newlyweds toasted, etc. This was very similar to the wedding banquets of later generations. Unfortunately, there was no band performance in the middle, and the whole wedding banquet seemed a bit too solemn.

Already.

"Naoki-san! Everyone~" Nakai Wonta and Hoshino Suzumi came to their table, "Please drink this glass of wine~"

"I wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon." In response to the blessing, Nagayama Naoki also drank wine with everyone.

Before leaving, Wonta Nakai whispered beside him: "Naoki-san, you must come to the second meeting in the future!"

From what he said, it seems like he has some fun activities?

"Hey, I'll be there for sure!"

In Japan, a formal wedding banquet involves many relatives, elders, bosses and other high-status people. Although the whole wedding is solemn and joyful, it is also somewhat formal.

However, in the subsequent "second meeting", most of the people will be friends of the new couple, so the atmosphere will be much more lively.

...

When ordinary people get married, there is naturally no lengthy grand scene like that of celebrities.

The disclosure banquet where all guests enjoy it is truly over after eating and drinking.

The second meeting, attended only by the couple's close friends, was also held at the Tokyo Prince Hotel, but in a different hall and in the evening.

Naoki Nagayama naturally slipped out of the disclosure banquet early and came to the venue of the second meeting.

At this time, many young people were already there, and there were also some people who had attended the disclosure banquet.

They were all young people, so they didn’t have many rules. They just found a seat and sat down. They had just revealed that they had drunk a little wine at the banquet and were feeling hot. Naoki Nagayama unbuttoned his suit and unbuttoned his shirt.

I opened a few,

The groom and the bride are not here yet, but there are people they know who are already chatting with each other.

At this time, the young lady whom I had seen in the church before sat at Naoki Nagayama's table without any surprise.

One of the girls with a round face still had a flush on her face after drinking, and she seemed to be taking advantage of the wine and asked:

"Private Marseille, I am Kokazu Konno, and we are classmates of Nakai-senpai at the same university. Brother, are you also Nakai-senpai's classmate?"

Am I so much like a student?

"Um, no, I am... a neighbor. Well, I used to be Yuan Taisang's neighbor, so we became friends." Naoki Nagayama recalled it, and it should be clear, "I am Yongshan

Naoki.”

"Arnold..." Another energetic girl asked in a low voice, "Is Nagayama-san a model?"

"Ah, I did work as a model."

"I knew it!"

The two little sisters didn't seem to recognize that they were movie stars, which made Naoki Nagayama breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was talking, the groom and the bride came over in different clothes. Compared with the previous disclosure banquet, both of them were much more relaxed.

After a brief walk through the wedding ceremony, the second meeting got underway, and the newlyweds frequently toasted at the wine table.

The emcee also prepared many mini games, making the atmosphere very cheerful.

When they arrived at Naoki Nagayama's table, Wonta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino were already blushing.

"Naoki-san, speaking of it, you can be regarded as a witness to Suzumi-chan and I's love!" Nakai Wonta said happily, "If it hadn't been for showing masculinity that time, Suzumi-chan might not have accepted it.

Here’s my confession!”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Suzumi Hoshino punched the groom's shoulder with a smile on her face.

Haha, what a scene for spreading dog food!

"Yuan Taisang, the relationship between you and Suzume-san is natural. That time was just a catalyst!"

Others at the table also asked what it was like to show masculinity,

So Wonta Nakai, who was a little over the top, directly picked up the microphone and told the audience about his love relationship with Hoshino Suzumi, as well as Naoki Nagayama's role in it, from finding someone to compose the music from the beginning, to the song and dance hall

conflict.....

"So, the guy over there actually wrote a song for Seiko Matsuda?"

"Wait a minute, that person seems to be a movie star, the protagonist of the recently released "Gas Station Robbery"!"

"It seems so. He was also the leading actor in "The Ghost Story"!"

"Is it really me? He's so handsome!"

Listening to the whispers in the audience, Naoki Nagayama felt a little dizzy.

Is this guy Wonta Nakai actually going to turn his wedding into a celebrity meeting?
