What does 3 3 9 times means in Japanese weddings?
Traditionally, wedding sin Japan take place in Shinto shrines, whee the Bride and Groom partake in a sake-drinking ritual called san-san-ku-do. This ancient tradition translates as "three-three-nine-times," where couples drink from three different-sized cups three times each.
Odd numbers in Japan are considered lucky, especially the number three. The smallest cup represents heaven, the middle represents earth, and the largest represents mankind.
