A/N: So, this chapter is a request from Raye23. I meant to have it in last week, but I was on a crazy art blitz and couldn't get it finished in time. Anyways, I wanted to mix Western and Japanese wedding traditions for this one. If I made any errors in my research, I apologize.
It was a hot – but not scorching day – in Musutafu, but the only thing that was melting were people's hearts, for it was a big day for the Todoroki family. Fuyumi was getting married to none other than Keigo Takami – best known as the Pro Hero Hawks. While there were those who would've thought it ironic that Hawks would marry a member of the family of the Pro who busted his parents, there were more who couldn't help but think how wonderful it was that the eldest daughter of the #1 pro was marrying another one of the top pros. Prior to the wedding, the Todoroki and Takami families had the yuinou – the traditional betrothal ceremony – at Karuichi, as per Todoroki's suggestion. The couple-to-be had gotten a gift of 800,000 yen in a special envelope known as a shugi-bukuro, which had silver and gold strings that were impossible to unknot. As for the venue, the ceremony was being held in a special meeting room at the Courtyard Marriott in Musutafu. Hawks was dressed in a black business suit, while Fuyumi approached the center of the room while a keyboardist played "Here Comes the Bride" on a Minimoog synthesizer. She was dressed in a white wedding kimono with a tsunokakushi headdress. Traditionally, in Japan, white was only worn to funerals, but brides were still permitted to wear it as a symbolic way of showing that they were "dead to their parents". Aside from members of the Todoroki and whatever was left of the Takami family, Deku and his parents were there as well, and there was not a frowning face in the entire venue. As Fuyumi came up to Hawks, a priest purified a shrine and gave an invocation:
"Izanagi and Izanami, we gather here today to observe the union of this young man and young woman in holy matrimony, that they may work to maintain a most respectful home with each other and that they may bear children of their own, thus bringing about harmony and balance. And with this, we begin the san-san-ku-do."
The priest poured some sake into a small cup before offering it to Hawks, who took a drink from it before offering it to Fuyumi, who took a drink from it herself. The process was repeated with a larger cup, only this time, it went to Fuyumi first. Finally, the process was repeated with an even larger cup, which was given to Hawks first. After this, both of them headed up to the altar, where Hawks read his vows to Fuyumi:
"Fuyumi Todoroki, you are the kindest, most beautiful woman I have ever met. I vow to love you with all my heart, in sickness and in health, in poverty and riches, until death do us part. I give my special thanks to our best man Izuku Midoriya for watching over us, for without the kindness he did for my sister Shoko, this marriage might not even have been possible."
The family members raised glasses of sake with a salute of "kanpai!" before drinking up. The priest then offered some Japanese evergreen to the altar, after which Fuyumi and Hawks offered some ancient coins to the altar. Since Hawks' parents were absent, Inko and Hisashi made offerings in their place, specifically two pairs of porcelain chopsticks. Endeavor and Rei also made their own offerings, specifically two golden teacups. Finally, the rings were presented to Fuyumi and Hawks, who then kissed each other as the keyboardist played the "Wedding March" from A Midsummer Night's Dream. During this time, Todoroki was in absolute tears, not because she was sad, but because she thought of how beautiful it was that her older sister was getting married and how she wanted her and Deku to be in that exact same spot.
Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
