Discuss Shinto wedding rituals.
What will be an ideal response?
The Shinto priest (or priests) and the mikos conduct a wedding ceremony at the front of a shrine, after a formal procession. The families are present in the room. The groom and bride typically wear formal Japanese wedding clothes. After the couple is ritually purified, the priest offers prayers for their good fortune and happiness, as well as for protection and guidance by the kami. Then the miko serves three sips of purified rice wine to the wedding couple. Brief words are spoken to the kami and rings are exchanged, followed by the offering of a small sacred evergreen branch. One more sip of rice wine is shared, and the ritual is complete.
