Together with their families
結婚式のご案内
invite you to a hanami by the sea — a Japanese garden wedding on Philippine sand
挙式 Counting down to April 17, 2027
物語 Our Story
They say an invisible red thread ties two people who are meant to meet. Ours was more of a queue rope.
Manila, 2021. Two strangers in a very long line, both eyeing the last limited-edition figure on the shelf. Sasuke let her have it. Sakura let him have her number. Everyone in line applauded, which they both still deny encouraging.
First date: a tiny ramen bar in Makati that fit six people. They stayed until closing arguing about which season of their favorite show was the best one. Four years, countless bowls, and one shared streaming password later — the argument continues.
Kyoto, spring 2026. Sasuke planned the proposal for a quiet spot under the cherry trees. It rained. He proposed anyway, soaked, under a borrowed umbrella — and Sakura said yes before he finished the question. The petals on this page are for that day.
縁 The Wedding Party
Sakura's sister & keeper of every secret since 1999.
Sasuke's college roommate. Was in the con line too.
Flew in from Osaka. Brought the umbrella.
In charge of the playlist. Pray for us.
Made the couple's matching cosplay in 2022.
Officially the ring bearer's adult supervision.
当日 The Day
Oshibori (cold towels) and calamansi-yuzu coolers at the beach pavilion. Come early — the light is beautiful.
Vows, then san-san-kudō — three sips from three sake cups to bind two families. Please be seated by 3:20.
Golden hour by the water while we sneak off for photos.
Reception under paper lanterns — toasts, dinner, and the ramen bar you've heard so much about.
Japanese sparklers on the sand. Last one still burning wins nothing but eternal glory.
場所 Venue & Travel
El Nido, Palawan, Philippines — our little Kyoto by the sea.
Beach formal in sakura and sumi-ink tones. Linen, silk, and kimono-inspired pieces warmly welcome. Leave the stilettos — the aisle is sand.
神籤 Your Fortune
At Japanese shrines, you shake a box, draw a stick, and unfold your fortune. Draw yours for the big day — shrine rules say any fortune drawn with a pure heart is a good one.
One fortune per guest per day. The box is watching.
出欠 RSVP
Kindly reply by March 1, 2027 so we can save you a seat (and a bowl of ramen).
Thank you — we can't wait to celebrate with you.
祝儀 Gifts
Truly. But if you'd like to give something, a contribution to our next chapter means the world.
Two weeks chasing cherry blossoms from Tokyo to Kyoto, spring 2028.
A little apartment with a genkan big enough for all the sneakers.
A gift table and QR will be at the reception — no need to bring anything bulky to the beach.

絵馬 On the night
At shrines, wishes are written on little wooden plaques called ema. At our reception, scan the QR at your table to hang yours on the big screen — try it below.
質問 FAQ
If your invitation says “and guest,” absolutely! Otherwise we've kept the guest list intimate — thank you for understanding.
We love your little ones, but this is an adults-only celebration — consider it a night off.
Not at all. Everything is guided: san-san-kudō is just watching us sip sake, an ema is a wish you write on a plaque, and an omikuji is a paper fortune you draw. If in doubt, clap when everyone claps.
April in El Nido is usually dry and golden, but the pavilion is covered just in case. Rain found us at our proposal in Kyoto and it worked out great.
Please do — after the ceremony. We'd love the ceremony itself unplugged: cameras down, hearts up. Tag #SasukeAndSakura2027.
Most guests arrive by shuttle or on foot from Lio Estate. If you're driving, Casa Marikit has a small lot — mention it in your RSVP.
This is a sample design by Wedsite Studios — every couple's site is designed from scratch around their story. Yes, even the koi.
永遠 After the big day
After the wedding, this site turns into a keepsake — the ema wall, our vows, the gallery from the night, and a guestbook for everyone who was there.
