Here comes the bride.
Full of joy and life.
She looked so beautiful today in her wedding dress.
And Mamoru-san looks dashing in his wedding tuxedo.
But, not everything is going smoothly.
Shingo, stop fighting with Haruka-san!
It's Usagi's wedding day and my son just won't behave today.
I think he's afraid of losing his big sister.
But, at least he's inside the church.
Kenji is smoking a bunch of cigars in our car.
He's basically giving himself enough courage to go inside and
face the fact that his daughter is growing up.
And that he's seeing his baby girl turn into a woman.
The maid of honor comes in, with her wavy orange hair decorated
with a white bow.
And the best man...
...What a hunk!
Oh, excuse me.
I shouldn't be talking about Mamoru's best friend like that.
But still, he is a handsome man, just like Mamoru.
And just like Shingo.
As soon as he grows up and learns not to pick fights during
special occasions.
...Despite him being eighteen.
I sigh, with a smile on my face.
Planning a wedding was harder than I thought.
But, my dream is coming true at last!
My daughter will finally be married.
And I am honored to be her mother.
One child down, one to go.
Shingo is going to be a tough one to marry off.
Don't think that I'm pushing them away.
In fact, sometimes, I'm more like Kenji than I realize.
If I could, I would keep Usagi as a precious six year old and
Shingo as an adorable three-year old.
But then, I would get a backache from all the times that I would
lift both of them in my arms at the same time.
I'm happy that my babies are growing up.
Kenji, unfortunately, isn't as happy as I am.
He finally comes into the church.
His eyes looked so red.
He must've been crying a lot for a while.
And I don't smell cigar smoke on him.
Okay, so he wasn't smoking.
He was crying for his loss, as though his daughter was kidnapped.
I can hear Shingo say something stupid about weddings.
Following my instincts, I smack him upside his head with a fan.
I can't believe that he said that "weddings are more depressing
than funerals".
Shingo glares at me, but not before sitting down quietly.
I told him already that he was the ring boy.
And his words were something along the line of "Get yourself
another idiot to carry their stupid wedding rings."
Being the pushy woman I am, I grab him by his ear and shove the
pillow in his hands.
He was about to argue with me again.
But, I silenced him with a death glare, warning him to behave.
He grumbles angrily, muttering something under his breath that
had hurt my feelings.
He said that I favored Usagi over him.
I love both of you.
Though, lately, he has aquired an attitude similar to that
Inuyasha character on his favorite show.
Finally, the wedding march begins.
Little Naruru and Hotaru were the beautiful flower girls.
I loved the little flower wreathes that I made for them.
Then, the four bridesmaids came out.
Each of them with their current love interest.
Well, not all of them were in love with each other.
Some were in denial.
Others were so close, they might as well be married.
And then, beautiful Naru as the maid of honor came out.
Finally my baby girl comes out, clutched to the best man's arm.
Though, I wished that Kenji would've escorted her down the line.
You can't have everything, I suppose.
I remember when Usagi once came home with a stray puppy.
She wanted to keep him because he looked so lonely.
In the end, I caved in. And we named him Dustball
We had him for a few years before he died.
A car ran over Dustball.
Then, a few months later, Luna came into our lives.
That cat is smarter than most people notice.
I once called her a crescent moon baldie.
She looked like she was deciding what was the most painful place
to scratch me.
Why am I thinking about the past now?
I just missed the bride and groom's kiss.
All of that planning has gone to waste!
Kenji said that he recorded it and that I can watch it when we
get home.
But, I missed it.
How could I have missed it like that?
It's not fair!
Full of joy and life.
