Japanese Western Style Weddings[edit]

Maybe one could also mention Japanese western style weddings. In modern day Japan, it is common to marry in white, often in a venue that is modelled to look like a Christian church alongside with a – usually Caucasian – man who is dressed like a priest and acts as minister. Most of the time, this person and is not a priest most of the attendees are not Christians. I never had a problem with it and shrugged it off as a bit strange. It could be seen as an example of so-called “cultural appropriation” of “western culture”. 134.191.220.81 (talk) 08:46, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show some reliable sources that talk about these Japanese marriages as an example of cultural appropriation? The article is not protected so you can add referenced information yourself and then the discussion can be more concrete if someone objects. — Bilorv (talk) 17:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This does seem like a valid point; I agree that secondary sources noting specific occurrences of this would have to be included but I think that if they were provided that might be an adequate addition to the article. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 17:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
