Dialogue

One afternoon, three maidens clad in beautiful wedding dresses were speaking in the Halidom. Wearing a wedding dress such as this is ever so exciting! I agree. It makes me that much more eager to be a bride one day myself. While I have no immediate wedding plans, I often find myself wondering what kind of ceremony I WOULD hold. So what kind of weddings are the two of you thinking about? I want to get married to my beloved in front of a huge audience in the Church's grandest cathedral. We'll gaze lovingly into each other's eyes under a rain of rose petals as the audience shouts huzzah after huzzah... Aaaaah... I'd prefer something more intimate—perhaps just my immediate family in a small village church. And the reception would have the finest pumpkin dishes in the land! ...And you, Aoi? I want a Hinomoto-style ninja wedding where everyone is waiting around and then...BAM! I appear in a cloud of smoke at the front of the aisle. Then my honey and I would cut up a giant steamed bun for everybody to share. Weddings are sacred occasions, Aoi, not some kind of party trick. Are you mocking the ways of Hinomoto? Of course not. But as the wedding would be in THIS country, perhaps you should accede to the ways of the Ilian Church. Wrong! Hinomoto's way is better! Blasphemy! The way of the Ilian Church is superior to all things! All right, let's all calm down. You think your Church is so great, missy? Prove it! We'll each hold our dream wedding and see which is the best! What?! You heard me! Food, minstrels—the whole shebang! Then we'll have the guests vote on which of the three weddings was best! Wait, I'M part of this now?! But how can the three of us possibly hold actual ceremonies? Look, there are a ton of folks in this castle, right? We'll just grab chefs and hubbies and whatnot from amongst the riffraff. It's gonna be a piece of cake. I feel rather uncomfortable asking others to put themselves out in order for us to satisfy an admittedly petty squabble. In that case, my wedding wins! I'm the best, I'm the best, la la laaaa... Grrrr! Very well! I accept your challenge! Yesss! Now just make sure you do this thing whole-hog and not, um, half-hog. And to that end, we'd better start rounding up some victi—er, I mean, volunteers! I already know who I'm going to get to do my catering! Oh no! She is MY caterer! What have I gotten myself into? Weddings are supposed to be about affirming your love to someone, not some kind of...competition! Still, the chance to create an ideal ceremony DOES sound like fun, so I'll have to give it my best. Hmm... Who I should ask for help? The battle lines have been drawn, and the competition to see who can arrange the finest wedding is about to begin. Who will be chosen to aid in this endeavor? Find out in the next chapter!
