Wedding venues are adorned with plenty of flowers, so this song fits the image perfectly.
How about choosing it as BGM for a friend’s speech to express your gratitude and love? It’s sure to make the wedding unforgettable for both your friends and the bride and groom.

An instrumental version—such as music box or piano—playing alongside the speech fills the venue with love and, almost unexpectedly, moves people to tears.
The words wishing your friends happiness stand out more vividly, resonating deeply with the hearts of the couple, their families, and the guests.
