Although Japan is not often considered the best place for sexual equality, steps are definitely being taken in the right direction.

虽然日本不是性别平等的理想之地，但是它正朝着正确的方向迈出步伐。
 
More and more women are trailblazing lifelong careers in not always hospitable1 corporate2 environments and forgoing3 more traditional routes such as marriage and becoming a full-time4 homemaker.
 
But sometimes this comes at the cost of getting married and starting a family. While some women are perfectly5 fine with this, others will no doubt feel the occasional pang6 of regret when they consider that they never had a chance to get all dressed up and be the center of attention for the day like many of their friends and family.
 
That's why Kyoto-based company Cerca Travel has set up a service providing all the glamor7 of a wedding without any of the commitment in what they call a “Solo Wedding.” That's right: women can now have the full wedding day experience without actually having to get hitched8.
 
A Solo Wedding is a two-day excursion where clients spend the night in a hotel as they go in for dress fittings, bouquet9 design, hair and make-up, and even a full photo shoot. Each of these services is handled by a professional in the industry and done with the same level of quality and attention to detail as a real wedding ceremony.
 
When she's all done up, the tour coordinator10 will take the solo bride to some beautiful Kyoto backdrops which complement11 her appearance for a commemorative photo shoot. If wedding dresses aren't your cup of champagne12, Cerca Travel can also set you up with one of the many other historical dress-up tours around Kyoto such as putting on Geisha make-up and clothes. There is also an option to have a decorative13 man between the ages of 20 and 70 to pose alongside you, but reportedly none of the 10 women who have enjoyed the Solo Wedding experience since Cerca began offering it in June this year have opted14 to do so, instead focusing on making the day all about them.
