Chapter 860: Besides her, who else could it be?!

Perhaps because it was gradually approaching the end of June, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the atmosphere in the entertainment industry had become increasingly restless these past few days.

Seiko Matsuda's grand wedding had appeared in media reports and even on television more and more frequently this week, and even what time she woke up, what time she put on makeup, and what time she arrived at the banquet venue were all clearly arranged.

It is said that the entire wedding would be broadcast live by four television stations, with countless celebrities congratulating, and the total budget exceeding 200 million yen... In short, such a wedding could definitely be called a grand event that left a heavy mark in the history of the entertainment industry!

For Seiko Matsuda, the schedule on the wedding day was very tight, starting from 6 o'clock in the morning to go out and head to the church for makeup and other preparations...

Besides the ceremony-related matters, there were five press conferences to attend throughout the day, and the entire wedding would last until the evening...

"Smile, Noriko!"

Seiko Matsuda, wearing a simple white dress, said to herself in the mirror, a perfect smile of a top idol appearing on her face... sweet and warm~

"Ganbare, today is the big wedding day!!"

It was as if today was not a wedding, but going to participate in some important competition.

The entrance to Seiko Matsuda's home was already filled with reporters waiting. As soon as Seiko Matsuda went out, they frantically pressed the shutters, and the light of the flash was even more dazzling than the bright morning sun.

However, Seiko Matsuda had long been accustomed to the flash. She stood calmly at the entrance and thanked the reporters:

"Thank you all for your congratulations... thank you for your hard work..."

After saying this, she got into the stretched Lincoln that had been waiting for a long time and drove towards the church where the wedding ceremony would be held.

Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda's wedding was a Western-style wedding, with a priest announcing the marriage in the church... Speaking of which, this didn't seem to be chosen by the couple themselves...

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori naturally didn't need to get up so early; they didn't get up until 7 o'clock~

Washing up, eating breakfast, and then picking and choosing the clothes to wear today...

"Naoki-san shouldn't dress too handsomely today, he can't steal the groom's limelight!" Akina Nakamori said with a serious face. "I also have to dress more simply..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't care what he wore, but he found it strange to go to the church:

"Akina, why do we have to go to the church... we aren't friends or family of either side... shouldn't we be waiting at the banquet at the Hotel New Otani?"

"Because of fame!" Akina Nakamori said as a matter of course. "Hanami-san said that this was the other agency's request... saying that the live broadcast had requirements for ratings, so they invited me to attend... and Naoki-san is also a very famous person!"

"...... There are also requirements for ratings..."

Naoki Nagayama clicked his tongue; this had really become a large-scale reality show~

Leaving Ying Taro and Miao Taro to look after the house, the two went out in that Toyota Century and headed straight for the Catholic church in Meguro Ward.

The morning rush hour was very congested, and the two didn't arrive at the church until almost 8 o'clock, but the road ahead was already filled with reporters who had swarmed in. Fortunately, they found a parking space under the guidance of the staff.

"Akina Nakamori!" "Together with Naoki Nagayama!"

I don't know which reporter shouted like that, but all the other reporters turned their heads and lenses to look at the two who had just gotten out of the car.

Even though today was Seiko Matsuda's wedding, the attraction of Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama was no less; the shutter sounds and flashes rioted again... the reporters' film budget for today shouldn't have a limit!

But fortunately, there was no opportunity for questions. Naoki Nagayama held Akina Nakamori's hand and quickly walked into the church, sitting in the middle seat...

The entire interior of the church was decorated brilliantly, and on both sides of the bright red carpet, flowers, slogans, balloons... other decorations were also very gorgeous.

However, what was surprising was that several camera positions were set up in the middle of the church, long-armed cameras were constantly adjusting their orientation for testing, and staff were running back and forth, organizing the wires on the ground... it seemed like a film set.

More and more people arrived. As time reached 8 o'clock, the priest walked out in his vestments, and the ceremony was about to officially begin~

Grand sacred music sounded, and with the chorus of human voices, Masaki Kanda first appeared in the church...

Then two flower girls walked forward while scattering flower petals, and Seiko Matsuda, holding her father's arm, slowly walked towards the priest...

The two knelt before the priest, listening to the priest's declaration:

"Do you accept Masaki Kanda as your husband and enter into a marriage contract with him?... Whether in sickness or in health, whether in poverty or in wealth, or for any other reason, will you love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and remain faithful to him forever until the end of your life?"

"I do~"

"Do you accept Noriko Kamachi as your wife and enter into a marriage contract with her? Whether in sickness or in health, whether in poverty or in wealth, or for any other reason, will you love her, care for her, respect her, accept her, and remain faithful to her forever until the end of your life?"

"I do~"

"......."

All of this appeared both sacred and happy...

If only there weren't cameras moving around overhead, and the sound of shutters and flashes constantly ringing!

Akina Nakamori was a woman easily moved. After seeing this scene, her eyes were also filled with water from being moved...

But Naoki Nagayama wasn't so easily moved. As a director, his eyes were always subconsciously attracted to the cameras, and he even silently complained in his heart:

"This camera position is too close! Are you going to shoot the face directly?!

It's moving too fast! You have to consider the focus of the image, you idiot..."

In short... not moved at all!

Fortunately, the time of the ceremony wasn't long, at most half an hour or so...

Immediately after, Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda, who had officially become husband and wife, walked out of the church and attended the first press conference of the day at the flower arch in the small garden...

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were mixed in the crowd, preparing to walk out from the side door and head to the Hotel New Otani to participate in the wedding banquet, but were stopped by a reporter with intentions.

"Naoki-san, Akina-chan..."

Facing the cameras and microphones extended to their faces, the two couldn't run away and had to stop to face them,

"How do you feel about participating in Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda's wedding ceremony today?"

"The wedding ceremony was very solemn... seeing Seiko-san get married, I was very moved..." Akina Nakamori was full of smiles. "I hope Seiko-san and Kanda-san will be happy forever..."

The reporter was very satisfied after hearing this; he just wanted a shot, and at this time, it was impossible for any guest to say anything bad or cause trouble...

However, seeing that Naoki Nagayama on the side didn't speak, he always felt something was missing, and his eyes turned:

"Naoki-san, will your and Akina-chan's wedding also be such a grand church-style wedding?"

"Me?"

Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment and really started to think about it. Akina Nakamori also subconsciously looked over, and the hand they were holding suddenly tightened a bit... Regarding the matter of the wedding, they really hadn't discussed it seriously before...

"My wedding... I haven't thought about it specifically, but it probably won't be Western-style..."

Naoki Nagayama thought of his older brother's wedding, in a temple in Shizuoka, Shinto-style... the Nagayama family had a family temple... his grandfather, uncle, father, and older brother all got married there, and he probably wouldn't be an exception...

Otherwise, that grandfather from the Yamaguchi-gumi wouldn't agree... he might send hundreds of underlings to drag the two back to get married...

The reporter's brain twitched, and he continued to ask:

"Is it with Akina-chan?"

"......" Naoki Nagayama was stunned for a moment. "Besides her, who else could it be?"

The reporter was stunned for a moment...

In the noisy environment, only the few people around heard Naoki Nagayama's answer clearly, and they were all slightly quiet for a moment, but were instantly drowned out by the joy of Seiko Matsuda's interview...

Over there, 300 white pigeons were released at once to celebrate, and the sound of the snow-white pigeons taking off attracted everyone's attention.

Only Akina Nakamori, looking at her boyfriend, became more and more gentle, and her heart was full of happiness...

The Hotel New Otani where the wedding banquet was located was in Akasaka, a little distance from Meguro Ward, and it took more than forty minutes to drive.

However, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori weren't in a hurry and even found a coffee shop on the side of the road to have a cup of coffee...

"Naoki-san... what kind of wedding do you like?"

"The form of the wedding... I don't care~" Naoki Nagayama said. "What's important is the people getting married... as long as both people acknowledge it, then even without the form of a wedding, it counts as being married!"

Naoki Nagayama was now between having faith and no faith. He was in awe of the indescribable power, after all, it allowed him to transmigrate... at the same time, he was skeptical about the main religious gods of the present. Buddha? God? Amaterasu Omikami?

Whenever he saw their statues, a thought would always pop up in his mind:

Can you guys beat the big shot who sent me to the Showa era?!

So with such thoughts, how could he have faith!

Akina Nakamori listened to her boyfriend's words, her heart sweet:

"We still have to register the marriage~"

"That's true..." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "We'll have to ask about what the registration process is like then..."

"......."

During the chat, they didn't take the initiative to mention their wedding, as if it were already an existing fact, and instead discussed the messy wedding forms in the current entertainment industry~

By the time Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori arrived at the Hotel New Otani, Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda had already arrived, and the two had long since changed into traditional kimonos, welcoming the guests arriving at the entrance.

"Congratulations on your marriage..." "Arigato~"

"Happy wedding~" "Arigato~"

"Happy marriage~" "Arigato~"

"May you be together for a hundred years~" "Arigato~"

Every person who came in would say a blessing, and Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda had to bow in response. There were over 500 people in total, and having to bow so many times, it looked tiring...

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were naturally no exception when they entered... There were so many guests visiting today, and the couple had almost become mechanical reactions.

No way, the camera was broadcasting live, and not a single bit of etiquette could be missing!

In the spacious banquet hall, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori sat at the first table on the left, right next to the wedding cake.

Looking at this huge wedding cake with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 5.7 meters, Naoki Nagayama clicked his tongue in wonder:

"So high..."

Akina Nakamori beside him also opened her eyes wide: "Can this cake be cut and shared?"

"Probably not..."

"Just for show?"

"Probably not~"

At this time, the people at the same table also discussed in low voices.

This table was full of celebrities from the entertainment industry, including seniors from the idol world and well-known actors... Naoki Nagayama saw the familiar Yuko Tanaka, as well as Keiko Matsuzaka... it should have been an invitation from Masaki Kanda's side.

Speaking of which, it seemed like he was the only male at this table... Was it because he requested to sit with Akina in the receipt?!

Naoki Nagayama greeted the people he knew, and for those whose faces he had seen but didn't know, he could only nod slightly to indicate.

By almost eleven o'clock, Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda finished the task of welcoming and entered the banquet hall... In front, there was a high platform with a huge red fan and flowers. This couple still had to complete a human-front ceremony in front of everyone!

Fortunately, the process of the human-front ceremony was very simple, taking only ten minutes or so.

The mediator Yujiro Ishihara stepped up to the microphone, explained the fact that the two were married to the guests present with a solemn expression, hoped that the guests present would witness it together, and then Masaki Kanda and Seiko Matsuda read the marriage certificate together...

Next, just cut the cake!

Under the lenses of cameras and photographers, Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda symbolically inserted the cake knife into the towering cake, and this ceremony was considered complete...

Next, naturally, professional hotel staff stepped on ladders to distribute the cake to the guests present~

It tasted average... after all, it was mainly for the styling, and it was hard for the sake of the styling... and to prevent high temperatures from melting it, a lot of coagulants were added (just like Zhong Xuegao's non-melting ice cream~)

After Masaki Kanda and Seiko Matsuda toasted a round in the banquet hall, they went out again to accept interviews, and the remaining guests started to enjoy the wedding banquet...

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori prepared to leave after eating for a while...

When leaving, they saw the couple who had changed clothes again, sitting in front of the gold folding screen, accepting interviews from the media...

"I heard there's another session in the afternoon..." Akina Nakamori said. "That session is for friends and family..."

"Hmm... as expected~"

Logically speaking, that session was the real celebratory wedding banquet... the current one was purely for show.

"But the gold folding screen..."

"What's wrong, Naoki-san doesn't like the gold folding screen?"

"Hmm..." Naoki Nagayama's expression was strange, as if he remembered some unpleasant images. "I really don't like it..."

Akina Nakamori was a bit strange, but seeing that her boyfriend didn't like it, she said directly:

"Then don't use a folding screen!"

"Not exactly... change it to a pine and crane longevity folding screen, or peony flowers blooming..." Naoki Nagayama held his girlfriend's hand and said. "In short, just don't make it so nouveau riche gold!"

"Nouveau riche gold?"

"It just feels very nouveau riche... doesn't Akina think so?"

"......." ===== CHAPTER 861 =====
