The two are known for their busy work schedules and were able to celebrate in style.

In fact, the wedding reception cost Y500 Million and was televised. Featuring live performances from Go Hiromi, video messages from fellow SHREK 3 friend Cameron Diaz (Fujiwara does the Japanese voice acting for Princess Fiona) and a surprise performance by Jinnai who learned to play the piano and sung her favorite Kobukuro song “Eien no Tomo ni”.

Kyodo News reports, “Their marriage is likely to have an economic impact worth up to 12 billion yen on the prefecture, according to an estimate by the Kobe branch of the Bank of Japan. The bank said the shrine would draw tourists who would spend money in the region and many people may be encouraged to hold wedding receptions in emulation of the couple. The reception was televised live by Nippon Television Network affiliate station.”
