October, 2008

There are not many guests at the wedding. Fujita Akane has been the guardian of her cousins, Hikari and Hikaru, for about three years now, and they are present, along with some of her friends. Her parents are present, but the rest of her extended family were not invited.

The groom also has very few family present. In his case, it is because Hamura Kaneda's only relatives are his mother, father, one widowed aunt... and Girinma, all of whom are present. Kaneda has also invited a few friends, but it is still a relatively small gathering.

The friends of the bride include Cure Black and Cure White. Honoka is present with her fiance, and Nagisa has brought along... her brother. Ryouta was Nagisa's last minute choice because of a fight between Nagisa and her current boyfriend, but having him in the same place as Honoka has made it clear that he still has a crush on her. Ryouta spends most of the event glaring at Kouya, before declaring that he's going to be the best scientist and solve everything, which is taken about as seriously as any such declaration coming from a twelve year old boy.

When the wedding vows are completed, the groom unveils the highlight of the event. It is a painting of himself and his wife, life size, dressed exactly as they have for the wedding. In fact, it is a painting of the wedding, and eerily prophetic considering how long it must have taken to paint. Even the officiating priest looks true to life. Indeed, every detail is plausibly the scene that they are a part of right now.

...except that it is on the Moon.
