The AISHITERU wedding
Rings tell the world you are married. Imagine spending your whole life in a marriage that holds calm, passion, excitement and safety together — that is what we build, and the wedding is where it begins.
Your heart
Nothing is more precious than your heart.
We can talk about the ring, and you can still have the ring. But nothing is more important than your heart, and that is what you are actually giving. There is no greater honour — and no greater responsibility — than being given someone else's.
So at an AISHITERU wedding you give a heart. A small glass one, fragile on purpose, and the person you love holds it from that day. It is the whole of what an AISHITERU is.
Two people
It is two people, taking accountability and responsibility for each other.
Nobody stands up for you and nobody holds the marriage for you. Families and friends are there, and they are loved, and the promise is yours alone. You organise the day together, equally — and that is the first act of a marriage in which nothing falls on one of you just because it used to.
The tapestry
The tapestry is the marriage, and the wedding is one thread in it.
Before the day there are eight weeks, with us, where the two of you find your philosophy — how you speak, how you hold each other, what a marriage that is unique to you actually looks like. Emotional safety comes first. There is nothing that cannot be spoken about, and nothing that cannot be resolved.
You make your own emblem, the mark of the marriage you are building, and the glass heart carries it. And you make a vow beyond today: the person beside you now is not the person who will be there in five years, and you promise the best of that, whatever it asks.
Every anniversary
You take turns, and part of the day is tending the marriage on purpose.
What weeds grew this year. What do we want to fertilise. What is next — what is the next garden room we are building. That is how a marriage stays alive.
For the two of you
People pay ten thousand dollars for a dress or a ring. This is the most important thing a couple can do for themselves.
In person, here in Melbourne, as a couple or with a few other couples. Write to us and we will tell you everything.
