Anna looks at herself in the mirror. She is in a white simple sheath silhouette dress that flows down to her ankles and a shawl around her shoulders. She has on white flats instead of heels. Lucy had summoned Cancer to do her hair and make-up.

Lucy can sense Anna's nervousness. "Anna, you're gorgeous. His breath is going to be taken away."

"You think so?"

"That man is completely enamored with you. There's nothing to worry about."

"Thanks, Lucy."

"Of course, isn't that my job as the maid of honor?"

Anna Laughs, "That it is."

They turn to the doorway when they hear a gasp, Miss Anna! You're so beautiful!"

"Thank you, Wendy!"

Carla walks in, "We're here to retrieve you, it's about to start."

They all walk to the doors leading into the chapel where Era is waiting. "Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." Lucy and the bridesmaids walk down the aisle. The wedding march plays when it's time for Anna.

Ichiya's eyes water when he sees his beautiful Anna. He is so happy to have found someone to spend the rest of his life with. Something he thought would never happen.

They hold hands and gaze into each other's eyes as they listen to the magistrate. When it's time, they say their vows and exchange rings.

"I, Anna, promise myself to you, Ichiya, as wife to learn and grow with, to explore adventure with, to respect you in everything as an equal partner, in the foreknowledge of joy, pain, strength, and weariness, direction and doubt for all the risings and setting of the sun."

"I, Ichiya, promise myself to you, Anna, as wife to learn and grow with, to explore adventure with, to respect you in everything as an equal partner, in the foreknowledge of joy, pain, strength, and weariness, direction and doubt for all the risings and setting of the sun."

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Everyone cheers loudly as Ichiya and Anna kiss.

"I love you Anna."

"I love you too Ichiya."
