Same in India too...🫂 Before marriage generally *Dropping hints about boyfriend/girlfriend (this needs to be timed properly) *Proposal meeting with parents *Ring exchange/Engagement ceremony *Pre-wedding religious ceremony (Puja) depending on community Then *Wedding ceremony & reception *Post wedding home-coming ceremony It's a long process 😝
It's a long process! Puja and post wedding home-coming ceremonies are very interesting because we don't have this culture in Japan! But other than that, the Japanese marriage process is very similar.
