For some reason I just don`t see this happening at all.
It doesn`t seem realistic, or even taking place in reality.

For one - I find it literally impossible to believe that Japanese parents would be thrilled to jump into having their daughter marry someone that young - let alone someone from overseas. I have to wonder - how much direct contact has the original poster had with these parents? Second hand info from the girl is hardly good enough.
The approval of these parents is honestly what I find the hardest to swallow. Parents in Japan simply do not jump to marry off their daughters at that age. If they truly are, then I have to really wonder about the real reasoning behind it. "Because they love each other!" doesn`t seem very likely.

If there is all this financial backing - why not go to a Japanese school and live with her during that time to test the waters? If you are so committed as to jump into marriage at this point, surely waiting a bit won`t hurt anything. I`m not one to knock young marriages, having married quite young myself, but... There is so much more to this than just marriage alone. I mean, look around at the issues people experience just being in Japan for a year with the end in sight. In a proper marriage, there is no end. The relationship may be the strongest in the world, but that isn`t going to help if you hit severe culture shock.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
