Mari #483: Wedding Rehearsal
Player
Wow! Amazing! So is this Hotel Ohara's chapel?
Mari
That's right. Isn't it just lovely? I've been wanting to bring you here.
Player
An empty chapel has such a mystical feeling about it, huh? It's so quiet and has such an… I don't know, sacred sort of atmosphere.
Mari
Countless couples have come here to pledge their eternal love to each other, after all. The devotion in their words and their hearts is engraved here forever.
Player
So it's a place where eternity itself really comes alive… That's so romantic.
Mari
Sounds to me like someone's getting awfully sentimental about it.
Player
Urk. Now I'm feeling embarrassed about saying that. I mean, you were being all poetic earlier too, Mari!
Mari
Well, I do love to fill my life with romance, after all!
Player
Right, I forgot. This sort of thing doesn't embarrass you in the slightest.
Mari
Hey, since we're here, you wanna try something that you can only do in a chapel?
Player
Something that you can only do in a chapel? Like what?
Mari
Oh, don't be silly! If there's one thing chapels are known for, it's weddings. Let's have a rehearsal for the big day!
Player
O-Of course! The real thing is bound to be pretty nerve-wracking. But I'd feel bad asking you to be my practice partner…
Mari
I think it would be fun. Just envisioning your face as you walk down the aisle… Oh, it's so cute I can hardly contain myself!
Player
Urgh, upperclassmen are so carefree! It'd be your first time doing it too, right? Oh wait, you walked down the aisle with everyone at the last party, didn't you?
Mari
It was such a fun little experience! I think we must be the first and only group of people to ever walk down the aisle in a group of six.
Player
I'm sure that other people might, but not at a real wedding… Huh?
Mari
Oh my. While we were chatting away, we made it to the altar already. Time really flies when I'm with you.
Player
I feel like you're not supposed to chat while walking down the aisle, though.
Mari
Now then, what do people do when they're standing at the altar?
Player
K-Kiss the bride?
Mari
Somebody's awfully bold! I was expecting you to say that they exchange wedding rings.
Option 1: “We don't have any.” |
---|
Player Oh, r-right! Exchanging rings! How should we do it? I don't have anything that we could use as wedding rings. Mari Then let's just interlock our ring fingers. Now listen. |
Option 2: “You don't kiss the bride?!” |
Player What?! You don't kiss the bride?! That's how they did it when one of my relatives got married! Mari All right, no need to get worked up. Before you get to kisses or wedding rings, you need to say your vows. |
Mari
I, Mari Ohara, do solemnly swear to love and to cherish you, to spend the rest of my life with you, in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part.
Mari
Well? Do you vow the same to me?
Player
Ah! I-I goo!
Mari
…
Mari
Pfft! Hahaha! You tripped up on your big line! You are just the cutest thing! Hahaha!
Player
I-I mean… You were so serious when you said your vows. Anyone would've gotten the wrong idea.
Mari
Sorry to make you so nervous. It's just practice today, so you don't have to worry. Now, take a deep breath.
Player
*Inhale* *Exhale* … *Sigh*
Mari
On your big day, just relax and let me hear your vows again. I'll be right there at your side, always watching over you.
Player
I will. Wait, at my side?!
Mari
That's right! I've always been by your side, and I'll always be by your side, now and forevermore!
