The gate is made of plywood, concrete form tubes, 2x4s, cardboard, drywall screws.
Concrete form tubes are large, round, hollow cylinders that are then filled with concrete to form solid pillars. The ones we used were made out of a very heavy cardboard or other paper based product. There were four of these tubes - two were attached to the plywood sheet to make the base of the gate. The other two were used with the crossbar and roof of the gate. We didn't pour concrete in them, just used the tubes themselves, since they are very sturdy.
The gate is actually two parts, upper and lower. The lower part is a 4x8 sheet of plywood, with two tubes. The tubes are screwed in place with small blocks of 2x4.
A 2x4 is a piece of wood or lumber that measures approximately 2 inches by 4 inches and can be a variety of lengths scrap pieces of 2x4 , as well as some 8 foot lengths
A 4x8 sheet of plywood is a four feet by eight feet, 1/2 inch thick, flat piece of wood product that is normally used in house construction.
Used little blocks of wood, just scrap pieces of 2x4, set in two circles on the plywood to match the inside measurements of the tubes. Then set the tubes over these blocks, after they had been attached to the plywood. Make sure all the pieces are firmly attached to each other to create the base of the gate. The tube walls are not thick enough by themselves,so attach them directly to the sheet of plywood. Use screws instead of nails because the gate would have to be moved several times. Nails tend to pull out much more easily than screws.
The upper part is two tubes, 2x4s. A small plywood piece on edge forms the ridge. The shingles are just cardboard, painted and stapled in place. The tubes are cut out to allow the cross piece to pass through.
For the upper part of the gate, cut vertical slits in those tubes that would allow a 2x4, about 8 feet long, to pass through both of them. The slits are located about one foot or so, down from the top of the tubes. The little vertical piece on the gate is a scrap of 2x4 attached to the middle of this cross piece. The roof of the gate is made of 3 of the 8 foot long 2x4s and some scrap blocks of 2x4.Placed several scrap blocks between two of the 2x4s, spacing them along the length. At least one block should line up with the little vertical piece in the middle of the cross piece. These scrap blocks would have measured almost the same length as the width of the tubes, so when the whole thing is set on top of the tubes, it would cover them and allow other scrap blocks to be used to attach the roof to the tubes in the same way that they were used to attach the other tubes to the sheet of plywood to form the base. The third 2x4 would have been set on top, in the middle of the scrap blocks and on edge ,so it stood 4 inches high. The shingles are just rectangles of cardboard (from packing boxes or shipping boxes), attached to the 2x4s with a electric stapler using heavy duty staples. They are overlapped just like you would see house roof shingles. This would create the angled roof that you see in the picture.
The upper and lower parts are screwed together with longer 2x4 blocks inside tube.
Around the inside of the tubes that are attached to the sheet of plywood, attached several, about one foot long, pieces of 2x4, leaving half of length of the 2x4s sticking up out of the top of the tubes. Then the top half of the gate could be placed over these 2x4s, matching the tubes to each other and sliding the top half down to match the bottom tubes, creating the complete gate.
Cardboard soaks up a lot of paint, so will required several coats.
Torii Gate design ,Shinto, a purely Japanese faith.
As for the red color, Used a red wagon color paint , along with a flat black or Finding a red that would work with the red brocade that is used for a ladies' kimonos, or flowers so they wouldn't clash. Some have suggested that Vermilion or China Red is probably the more authentic color.

Sample Wedding Ceremony and Order of Service
Many couples today are choosing to have a non religious wedding ceremony, or be married by a friend or family member. Yet an important role of the officiate is to give you guidance in crafting your wedding ceremony, often following a predetermined format. If you are going the DIY route, I want to give you advice on creating a memorable and personal wedding ceremony. Most wedding ceremonies contain most of these elements:
Wedding processional or entrance of the bride and groom, and wedding party if applicable
Music, literature, and poetry or wedding readings from the Bible
Attendants or witnesses to sign the wedding certificate or
Marriage License, Wedding Vows, Exchange of wedding rings or gifts
A blessing, benediction, community commitment to support the marriage, or officiates sanction of the marriage , A first kiss as a married couple
Two Aisle Wedding
A wedding processional using two aisles. People tackle the problem of two aisles in a variety of ways. You can choose to only use one aisle, but this means that many of your guests will feel far from the action. I often advise couples to do the processional up one aisle, and the recessional down the other. Another alternative is to have bridesmaids walk up one aisle, and groomsmen up the other. The bride and groom can then each choose an aisle to enter through. A wedding processional with a small bridal party If you only have a few people in your bridal party, it's a good idea to send them up one by one.

A wedding processional with a small bridal party If you only have a few people in your bridal party, it's a good idea to send them up one by one.
For example, if you had a best man, maid of honor, flower girl, and ring bearer this should be the orderGroom takes his place at the front Best man enters, Maid of Honor walks up aisle, Ring Bearer Flower Girl, Bride, with escort if she has one. With such a small wedding party, it's probably not formal enough to warrant a formal seating of the mothers and grandmothers. However, if you still want to do this, let the best man seat the grandmothers and the groom seat the mothers as part of their entrances.
For a non-denominational ceremony, a secular ceremony, or a non-traditional ceremony, you can either borrow liberally from one of these traditions, or make up your own rules. In all cases, the bride traditionally stands on the left, and the groom on the right. This dates back to medieval times when the groom might need to defend his bride in the middle of the ceremony, and wanted to leave his right hand, his sword hand, free. While few grooms even carry a sword anymore, the tradition has lasted.
Jewish wedding processional, the order goes something like this:The Rabbi and,or cantor grandparents of the bride, who are then seated in the first row Grand parents of the groom, who are then seated in the first row Groomsmen, walking in pairs Best man The groom, who is escorted by his parents. Brides maids Maid or Matron of Honor Ring bearer and,or flower girl The bride, escorted by her parents
Catholic wedding processional The priest, groom, and best man enter through a side door and wait at the altar. The grooms men and brides maids walk down in pairs, starting with the two who will stand farthest from the bride and groom, and ending with the best man and maid of honor. The ring bearer and or flower girl. The bride and her father, or other close family member. The bride walks on the left side. If the bride's escort is her father, he leads her to the front of the aisle, then takes his seat next to the bride's mother
Protestant wedding, this is the traditional order of a wedding processional:The mothers of the bride and groom are seated after all guests are seated, and immediately before the start of the processional music. They are usually escorted to their seats by a brother of the bride or groom, or by another usher. After they are seated, the officiates, groom and best man enter by a side door and wait at the altar. Groomsmen may also enter by a side door, or can escort the bridesmaids. Bridesmaids, Ring bearer and or flower girl ,Maid or Matron of Honor.The bride, escorted by her father or other close male family member or friend. At the front of the aisle, her escort can remain standing with her until the minister asks ,Who gives this woman in marriage? to which he responds I do or Her mother and I do. However, some people feel this tradition is old fashioned and sexist, and choose to forgo it. In such a case, her escort walks with the bride to the front of the aisle, and then takes his seat in the front row
