May, 2009

Cure White has been engaged for most of a year to the same young environmentalist she dated through high school. She is a graduate now, just beginning her first year at the university where Kouya is in his second year. Today, they will be married, and he will take her last name.

As tradition demands, they have not seen each other since getting up. The morning has been consumed with preparations. For Kouya, that has meant coordinating last minute arrangements and descending into neuroticism. For Honoka, it means the dress.

Honoka has long since grown out of the dress she wore in honor of becoming Pretty Cure. Her wedding dress is tailored to fit the body of a grown woman. It does resemble her old PreCure outfit, being primarily white with light blue trim and marked here and there by light blue hearts, but it is naturally more elaborate.

Honoka's wedding dress has a full skirt, the hem of which is decorated with pale blue hearts that hover just above the floor. While not immodest, the top portion of the dress closely adheres to curves that have grown a bit more obvious since the time when she was in middle school. More blue hearts are set atop a diadem on her head, from which her veil hangs. Now nineteen years old, she is quite the beautiful young lady.

Nagisa is the maid of honor, and she has spent the morning helping Honoka. The bridesmaid dresses are nothing special, but neither she nor Hikari are troubled by that. It is Honoka's event, with few guests other than themselves, the parents of the bride and groom, and a few other friends on either side. There is no need for anyone else to show off.

The ceremony itself goes off without a hitch. Kouya and Honoka are pronounced man and wife.

A large cake is cut, possibly too large for such a modest gathering. Everyone has a slice and a drink before undertaking the ritual of the bouquet. There are only five girls who gather for the catch, of whom Nagisa is the most enthusiastic.

However, it is Hikari who makes the catch. The bouquet practically falls into her arms.
