Aside from the obvious「ご結婚おめでとうございます」for the newly wedded, have you got any other phrases that it might be useful to have stashed fresh in my head for a wedding reception I’m attending later today.
My boyfriend is attending one of his close friend’s wedding ceremony today and I’ve been invited to join for the reception afterwards. The reception is going to be more informal at a nearby izakaya. I have met one of his friends and their girlfriend, who will be there, but haven’t met most of his other friends including the friend who just got married. I was such an awkward ball of messy Japanese last time I met one of his friends and whilst my Japanese has improved a little bit since then, I wanna be able to try joining in a little more this time.
I’m studying Japanese at intermediate level but if I’m honest the Japanese I can use off the top of my head (without preparation) is typically significantly more limited. So packing some ready to use phrases in my arsenal for later can only help. My boyfriend can speak perfect English and obviously can help me communicate but I don’t want to have to make him a translator all evening for me 😅
I’ll let you guys know if I manage to use anything you suggest 😂👍
TY in advance 😊
