たくさんの笑顔が生まれた日
にこやかで、暖かい雰囲気を身に纏った新郎様。いつも弾けるような笑顔で、私たちをも幸せな気持ちにしてくださる新婦様。そんなお二人を象徴するかのような、春の穏やかさが残る、気持ちの良いお天気でした。MAYAから歩いて、3分ほどの場所にある材木座海岸でのお二人のお写真がその日を鮮明に思い出させてくれます。結婚式には、あまり執着がなく、型にはまったいわゆる結婚式に魅力を感じていなかったお二人がお選びいただいた、MAYAでの「結婚の日」。よりたくさんのゲストの方とたいせつなお時間を共に過ごせるよう２部制での、ご披露宴をお選びになったお二人。
昼前、二人をお祝いする為、ゲストの皆様がMAYAへと集い、お二人のハレの日は始まりました。1部目のご披露宴は、ご親族様も交えた会。宴の途中では、ご家族毎にマイクを回しながら皆様のご紹介をし、お二人との想い出などを思い思いにお話になる皆様。
これまでの人生をみんなで振り返り、時折大きな笑い声が聞こえてくるなんとも和やかで、あたたかい時間。お手伝いさせていただいた私たちも、自然と笑みが溢れました。
2部目のご披露を前に、お集まりいただいた方皆様に見守られながら改めて、家族になるお二人はお庭でお式。
そして、2部目の披露宴が始まります。
ご友人や職場の皆様とお過ごしいただく会。お二人の結婚の日には、素敵な音楽をお流しいただく、お洒落なアロハシャツをきたDJさんもいらっしゃり、DJさんの雰囲気に合わせた選曲も相まって、皆様は自然と盛り上がり終始にぎやかで、笑顔の耐えない会となりました。
いわゆる“結婚式”なプログラムをするのではなく、お二人をお祝いするためにお集まりいただいた皆様との時間。その時間をただただ 大切にされたお二人。
そんなお二人の結婚の日だからこそ、そこにはたくさんの笑顔が生まれ、私たちスタッフを含めそこにいた全員が幸せなひとときを過ごす事が出来ました。
ハレの日を終えて、迎えた3日目の朝。私たちは、お二人と一緒にMAYAのお庭で梅仕事に勤しみました。MAYAのお庭に実る、梅で作る梅シロップ。
後日、シロップを梅ジュースとして楽しんでいるとご連絡をいただきました。梅シロップもまた、結婚の日の思い出としてお2人の家で佇んでいるのかなと想像し、私たちにも笑みが溢れました。
A day full of smiles
The smiling groom, wrapped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bride, always making us feel happy with her bubbly smile. The weather was pleasant, with the mildness of spring remaining, as if symbolizing this couple. A photo of both of them on Zaimokuza Beach, about a three-minutes’ walk from MAYA, brings back vivid memories of that day. The couple, who wasn’t very attached or attracted to the physical trappings of so-called “conventional” wedding ceremonies, chose MAYA to have their “wedding day”. They chose to have a two-part wedding reception so that they could spend more time with their many guests. Just before noon, guests gathered at MAYA to celebrate the couple, and their day of celebration began. The first part of the reception party included the members of both families. During the reception, each family member was introduced through a microphone, and everyone talked about their memories of the couple. It was a very friendly and warm time, with everyone reflecting on their lives so far, and occasional loud laughter which could be heard. Having assisted them, we were also naturally filled with smiles. Before the second part of the reception, the couple, who was about to become a family, had their ceremony in the garden once again watched over by all the people gathered there. Then, the second part of the reception began. This was a party where both would spend time with their friends and colleagues. On their wedding day, a DJ in a stylish aloha shirt was present to play some great music. The DJ’s music selection, combined with the atmosphere of the party, made everyone naturally excited, and the party was lively and full of smiles from start to finish. Rather than a “wedding ceremony” program, it was a time for everyone who had gathered there to celebrate the couple, both of whom simply cherished the time they had available. Being this couple’s wedding day, there were many smiles and everyone there, including our staff, was able to spend a happy moment. With the day of celebrations over, it was the morning of the third day. We worked with the couple in MAYA’s garden to make plum syrup from the plums that grow in the garden. Later, we were told that the couple enjoyed the syrup as plum juice. Our smiles overflowed when we imagined that the plum syrup was there, in their home, as a memory of their wedding day.
