Bride and groom cut tuna instead of wedding cake

December 20th, 2009 by James

Who needs a wedding cake when you’ve got a bigass tuna to cut instead:

A company in Kanagawa prefecture has offered tuna-cutting marriage ceremonies for about 10 years now. This particular couple has purchased a 100kg BigEye tuna for their guests. They don’t reveal the cost of this particular fish, but they do say that minimum plan costs about 3,000 yen X 50 guests (150,000 yen).

I’m sure the smell was absolutely divine! Take a big chunk of tuna and feed each other!

I’d imagine it was very fresh? LOL.

This is pretty funny. At least there is sushi/tuna rolls for all…

When your bride is that pretty, I don’t think it matters whether it’s cake or fish.

Fresh tuna shouldn’t smell badly. It sounds yummy to me – a big hunk of sashimi! If it smells it must have been sitting around for a while!
