Seeing a job ad placed by a Tokyo wedding company two years ago in an English daily, a 32-year-old Australian man applied for a position performing Christian-style nuptials at hotels and wedding halls on weekends.
Having never studied theology or attended a seminary, the man considered himself just an average Christian back home, but his Caucasian looks apparently qualified him to stand before Japanese couples as they took their vows, and to recite Bible passages in front of hundreds of attendants.
"I've never been a devout Christian or anything, and thought it was no more than an acting job," the man said.
