Some girls came with their families and others with their boyfriends. Some came with both. Japanese shrines have many places where you (pay some money and) make a kind of prayer, do something for good luck, or get your fortune. This girl is writing a prayer/wish on a small board with her boyfriend standing by. Afterwards, she hung the board on a large rack of similar "prayers."
