It was not that he loved to show off, but rather that a few buddies in the group chat, hearing that his uncle's nephew was getting married today, insisted that the uncle take pictures of the Japanese wedding and see how it differed from domestic ones.
His uncle replied that weddings everywhere were pretty much the same: find a hotel, find an emcee, invite a bunch of relatives and friends, stand on stage and exchange rings after saying "I do," kiss, have everyone clap, and then sit down to eat. Nowadays, weddings all over the world were basically standardized.
One of his uncle's highly educated friends said absolutely not, explaining that many wealthy and prestigious old families in Japan were still quite traditional. For a wedding, they would seek out shrines with history and prestige. To the Japanese, holding a wedding in a place like a shrine was not strange at all, though to the Chinese it felt quite novel. The uncle had heard that his nephew's fiancée was wealthy, so he wondered if they would choose a place like a shrine to tie the knot.
