Everyone cheered and whistled as Takahiro left to sit with his family and handed the microphone back to Ryuuichiru. "Next up we have the groom's father." Ryuuichiru announced
Fuyuhiko stood from the table to the couple's right and took the mic with a nod to the MC. "As most of you will know, until around a year ago just before my granddaughter was born me and my youngest didn't get along so well. when I had first met Takahashi-chan, or should I say Usami-chan now, I had thought that due to the over protectiveness of my son that was directed at Misaki-chan that it would drive us even farther apart as father and son. that was until she had come to me asking to talk, she had asked me to make amends with both of my sons by just talking it out. little did I know that she was planning to make do so by luring my son there then locking us in a room" Fuyuhiko chuckled at the memory earning a laugh from the crowd.
"Hey it worked didn't it? now little haru-chan will have both her grand parents and uncles" Misaki cooed at the little infant that sat on her father's lap giggling happily at the happy mood of the room.
"Indeed it did and I couldn't be more grateful for it" Fuyuhiko smiled at his daughter-in-law "and after wed to be back in my sons life I have actually been able to watch these two. it was funny too, because if Misaki didn't like something Akihiko knew. I have never been more proud of my son than I am at this moment seeing Akihiko start a family for himself, which I was started to believe wouldn't be the case anytime soon, boy was I wrong" Fuyuhiko finished
the oldest Usami bowed to the married couple wishing them well before handing the mic back to Ryuuichiru. Misaki turned to look at Akihiko with a warm smile taking Haruka from him as he stood when he was called. Ryuuichiru handed him the mic and Misaki was happy to see that Akihiko - despite his hate for giving speeches - He had a genuine smile placed over his face.
"Okay so anyone that's here knows that I absolutely hate giving speeches." Akihiko chuckled "But for once I have never been more excited to do so" Akihiko held out a hand to his bride who took it. Akihiko stared down at the smaller hand in his. "Misaki had made a huge change in my life - not only the big things but small habits of mine included - I wouldn't normally be a morning person, you wouldn't get me out of bed earlier than 11 in the morning. But after Misaki had moved in, due to her classes, I would find myself up at 7 no problem, just so I could eat with her and drive her to the university. That was just one of many changes that I had noticed. People had said that my writing style had changed for the better since then as well, something I myself hadn't even noticed.
"She means a lot to me that - as my father had said - I became a little over protective, and that sometimes got me into trouble. when i first realized that I loved her was actually one night where I felt like everything was coming to an end for me, but then a little brat that I had known for barely half a year had seen through the mask I had placed so firmly over myself. Even cracked it. And ever since then she has always been there for me, even when I tended to shut myself off from everyone" Akihiko raised his eyes to Misaki's "You mean the world to me Misaki, because if it hadn't been for you, would have lost it"
Misaki quickly handed Haruka over to Shouta beside her then launched herself at her husband locking her lips with his and everyone cheered as whistled amongst the few cat calls.
Not long later Misaki and Akihiko were guided to the cake where they cut it together after letting some of the photographers from the media take a few of their a few pictures. Once it was cut, they fed each other a piece before they were ushered to the middle of the dance floor. Akihiko gripped his wife's right hand in his left while her right rested on his chest while Akihiko's free hand rested on her waist. Misaki rested her forehead on his chest giggling nervously as they waited for the music.
