However, this happy and lucky couple, Mr. Tadahiro Miyamura (宮村忠弘) and Ms. Fumi Yamauchi (山内富美) happened to have the uncle who is the chief monk of Hogen-ji (法現寺) in Hiroshima, Japan.

Hogenji just renovated their building last November. It'll be the very first Buddhist style wedding to be held at the building.
