Momoko and her father were sitting down waiting in the lobby of their hotel. They had just checked in and were going to meet the newlyweds to be for a late dinner. Momoko fidgeted with her purse in her lap that contained Jamapi. Her father looked at her noticing that she was growing bored.
"I have known Amida since we were in grade school," Shouichirou informed her, breaking the silence. Momoko looked up at her father with interest in his story. "I always told him that if he ever got married it would be an honor to be his photographer. He finally took me up with the offer a few weeks ago." He smiles slightly, "of course when I made that offer years ago I never knew who he was, but it didn't change my thoughts about him."
Before Momoko could question him what he meant by that two men walked into the lobby, waving at her father of them getting his attention. "Here they are now," her father said, waving back at them as he got up from his seat.
"Shouichirou, it has been too long," Amida exclaimed embracing his friend. "I would like you to meet Rick."
"Amida has told me much about you," the younger American man said shaking his hand. "It is almost like I know you."
"This is my daughter, Momoko," her father said, introducing her to the two.
After the introductions, the four of them headed off to the Japanese restaurant for dinner.
Momoko munched away on her food as the three of them were talking about their past. "So, who is the lucky bride?" Momoko asked finally piping up. Her father smiled at her while Amida and Rick both looked at with shock.
"You never told her?" Amida asked Shouichirou. He shook his head indicating that he has not.
"There isn't a bride," her father informed Momoko. "Amida and Rick are the two that are getting married tomorrow."
"Oh!" Momoko exclaimed with some embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I meant no offense. I just didn't know."
"You don't think anything is wrong with that?" Amdia asked with some concern in his voice.
Momoko giggled. "Of course I don't think its wrong. Love does take many different forms. Two men in love getting married is no different then a man and a woman in love getting married. Besides, I think it is kind of cute!"
Amida and Rick both blushed slightly. Her father laughed proud of her daughter's wise choice of words. "Like daughter, like father," Amida said placing his hand over Momoko's showing his love for his friend's daughter.
"Well, Rick and I better get going," Amida said getting up to pay the bill. "It is going to be a long day tomorrow."
