Spring and autumn are popular seasons for 結婚式 (kekkonshiki, wedding ceremonies) in Japan, thanks to relatively comfortable temperatures and sunny weather that comes around.
Another reason spring weddings are popular is Golden Week, which includes a series of 連休 (renkyū, consecutive holidays) that makes it easy for friends and family to get together — even if a pandemic means you need to keep numbers down.
Weddings are one of the best ways to experience any culture, and Japanese weddings are no exception. If you get an invitation to one, there are a few linguistic terms that are good to know before you attend — in person or via video chat.
