Yuki's Passion 1 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 A few peeps that I know are getting between 10,000-20,000/wedding. Guess it depends on supply/demand/greed Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I've never been a fake priest but I think it would be a cool gig. On the other end of things, my friends got married by a fake priest at a wedding chapel in Kyoto a couple of years ago. He introduced himself as "Brother Daniel". He twice he called the bride "Tomoko" before my friend correct him: "It's Miyako!". Brother Daniel graciously suggested repeating the lines and editing the video tape to cover up the gaff but my friend just wanted to wrap things up at that point. After the ceremony we were all milling about taking pictures and so on as the chapel staff tried to rush us out. I guess they have to erase any trace of the previous customers before the next guests arrive. Kind of like a love hotel. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 For 30,000 yen for 20 minutes, I would sell my soul to the devil. But not for 5,000 yen. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yep Ger, it is a production line. A place I know had a wedding scheduled every 45 minutes, and busy days would do up to 12 in a row. They really push the guests and the couple on thru quite quickly No chance to enjoy the moment and just have a good day. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 12?! Thats insane. And do they pay big bucks for that? Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 As I recall, my friends wedding was early in the day. Things must get pretty sloppy later on. You can bet someone's making big money! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 those big wedding centers are RAKING it in. It is ridiculous and I will fight tooth and nail before I go thru that if/when I get married. Ger, 12 in a day is big bucks only from the point of view that youget paid for 12 x however much they pay. Link to post Share on other sites
