"I didn't expect this kid to be getting married so soon."
As he straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, Uncle Mori's face, which clearly bore the marks of time, showed a hint of emotion.
Recalling attending Xiaolan's wedding a few years ago, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I can still picture Xiaolan marrying that detective brat. In the blink of an eye, even that kid is getting married."
Beside him stood a beautiful woman in formal attire, Eri Kisaki.
Even with Eri Kisaki's excellent skincare routine, traces of washing can still occasionally be seen around her eyes.
"It's said to be fast, but it's been several years already."
"Yes," Uncle Mori said with deep emotion.
"Alright, stop admiring yourself in the mirror." Eri Kisaki stopped lamenting how quickly time had passed and urged, "Hurry up, it's time to go."
After straightening his collar, Uncle Mori looked at his neatly dressed reflection in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Eri Kisaki:
"Alright, alright."
"Let's go."
...
Not many people were invited to the wedding. Kōyū only invited people he was close to, such as Sonoko and Kyogoku, Kaito and Aoko, Narumi, some classmates, teachers...
But in total, there were still several dozen guests.
By this time, most of the guests had arrived.
The wedding was held on an outdoor lawn.
Not far from the venue stands a magnificent and opulent building, one of Tokyo's top wedding venues.
At this moment, today's leading lady is getting ready in her room at the club.
She was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, with a skilled female makeup artist beside her who had extensive experience in wedding makeup applying her makeup.
Behind her, Akemi watched with a broad smile, her eyes filled with undisguised excitement and joy.
Besides, there were several friends who were close to her, such as Jonouchi who saw the proposal, and Ayumi.
While getting her makeup done, Akemi talked to Ai to ease her nervousness.
For such an important event as a wedding, makeup must not be taken lightly; every detail needs to be considered.
Even with a lighter makeup look, it takes significantly longer than regular makeup.
After spending more than an hour doing her makeup, the makeup artist let Ai and the others take a final look at the results.
The makeup is considered complete only if everyone is satisfied.
"It looks so good!"
"So beautiful!"
"She's already so pretty even without much makeup, and now she's put on such a carefully applied look. I bet Guangyou won't be able to walk past her."
“...”
The praise from those around her eased Ai's tense nerves a little.
As a bride, she naturally hopes to look beautiful and lovely today.
In the days leading up to the wedding, she asked Guangyou many times, during the makeup trial, during the wedding photo shoot...
She always asks the same question:
"Is it pretty?"
Unsurprisingly, Guangyou always answered her in different ways, but the core meaning was always the same:
"nice!"
She was overjoyed, but at this moment, she was still a little nervous.
The makeup artist, who had done makeup for many brides, immediately sensed her thoughts and offered words of comfort:
"Once you enter the venue and see Mr. Guang, you won't be nervous."
"And don't worry, you are really beautiful."
"Mmm." Ai looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a wedding dress, her eyes filled with joy and anticipation, and nodded in response softly.
The scenes that occasionally appeared in her dreams and the fantasies of a young girl in her spare time are about to come true today.
...
Soon, the time was up.
The large screen on stage began playing an opening video, a stop-motion animation.
The guests all found it quite interesting, and later they discovered that the entire stop-motion animation was created by the groom himself.
People like Ran and Narumi, who know Kōyū well, marvel at the extent of his care for Ai.
Over the past ten years or so, they have watched Kōyū and Ai "grow up" and know that Kōyū has always treated Ai the same way.
One day is easy, one month is not difficult, and one year is not difficult either...
But Guangyou has been doing this for over ten years, and they can't help but admire his dedication.
Meanwhile, female classmates who are close to Ai are saying that Kōyū is very romantic, thoughtful, and has a great video idea.
Those guys, after hearing the girls' discussion, silently memorized this trick. The single guys prepared to use it to woo girls, and the guys in relationships prepared to use it to make their girlfriends happy.
The video was short. After it ended, a beautiful emcee in a formal dress walked onto the stage and, as usual, read an opening speech.
The emcee was very experienced and managed to create a lively atmosphere with just a few words.
She briefly recounted how Kōyū and Ai met and fell in love, and seemingly casually mentioned the passage of time, subtly praising the depth and beauty of their relationship.
After a brief opening, the emcee quickly got to the point.
She smiled and said:
"I won't say any more, after all, I'm not the main character today."
"Next, let's welcome the bride's friends, and today's undisputed leading lady, Ms. Haibara, to the stage!"
Many of the guests present were taken aback when they heard this.
Normally, the groom enters first, or the couple enters together; it's rare for the bride to enter first.
That's why they were stunned.
However, they quickly came to their senses and put the matter out of their minds.
After all, it doesn't matter who enters first. It's their wedding, so let's do it their way. Who knows what their intentions might be?
