At Last
It really was a legendary event. Nearly everyone in the Gotei Thirteen had been anticipating it for years. It really had come to no surprise to anyone when Shunsui Kyoraku and Nanao Ise had announced their impending marriage. Everyone agreed that this had been a long time coming, and there was a decades old betting pool to be paid out. It had become a major event for all of the Seireitei, and they both had needed to veto a number of ideas that had been suggested in order to celebrate the event. Both Shunsui and Nanao had wanted a fairly simple wedding. In the end, there was a great deal of compromise, but everyone was satisfied.
It was a spring wedding, held outside under the blooming cherry trees. Nearly every single member of the Gotei Thirteen was in attendance as well as many of the nobles. Even the Karakura group attended. There were well over a hundred guests. Not that the bride or the groom seemed very aware of them. They made a striking couple. For once, Shunsui had gone without his pink haori, though his pinwheel hair ornaments were in place. Nanao stood beside him dressed head to toe in white with her traditional wedding kimono. Well, almost all in white. Her uchikake had sakura blossoms on it.
In truth, the ceremony was just a formality for them. They had been a married couple in many ways, even long before they had actually been a romantic couple. And from the beginning of their actual romantic relationship, the two of them had known exactly where they stood with one another. But neither of them minded making things formal, and they were finally here. They stood together as the priest led them in their vows, and then the miko handed them the cups of sake for the next part of the ceremony. Finally, the two of them were led into the shrine's sanctuary in order leave their offerings for the gods and end the ceremony.
They returned to the waiting crowd afterwards, and hand in hand, they faced their friends. It was done. They were married. Amidst the applause, laughter, and outright cheers from their friends, family, and colleagues, Shunsui leaned down and kissed Nanao.
