Celebrating Love and Learning: Taisyo University's Unique Wedding Event
On November 4, 2025, the Art & Entertainment Work Course's second-year students at Taisyo University's School of Expression will host a distinctive wedding event, showcasing their creativity and collaboration with the Yamanashi Prefecture branch of the All Japan Bridal Association. This initiative aims to provide students with practical experiences in problem-solving through Project-Based Learning (PBL), directly addressing the challenges faced in event planning.
Event Overview
The centerpiece of this event will feature newlywed alumni from 2025, who will model as the bride and groom. The event promises to be more than just a ceremony; it represents a culmination of student learning, bringing theoretical concepts into practical application. Taisyo University's president will take on the role of officiant, lending an air of authenticity to the day’s proceedings.
This year's theme focuses on leveraging non-traditional venues and exploring new forms of celebration for couples considering marriage. The collaboration with the All Japan Bridal Association enables students to learn from industry professionals about aspects like event production, safety management, and communication skills necessary for successful execution.
Learning Opportunities
Students participating in this event have been actively engaged in workshops and practical sessions led by experienced bridal industry professionals. They have learned how to effectively run a ceremony in accordance with legal marriage regulations, using the newly proposed ceremonial style by the association. This style ensures that all attendees can witness and support the couple as they declare their commitment, emphasizing legal recognition and community involvement. By presenting the marriage registration acceptance certificate during the ceremony, attendees participate as witnesses in this significant step.
