Summary: A loveless political marriage goes through. The bride spends her wedding reception pouting. Champagne buckets, filled to the brim with water and ice, are hurried from the kitchens to demanding reception guests. It’s a hot day, too hot for a wedding –especially a wedding too sober to be enjoyed without a little help. Merriment is put on and fake smiles are hidden beneath wide-brimmed hats. The groom drinks too much. The bride sulks.Cagalli sits next to Yuna, the reluctant queen of the banquet. She makes little attempts to smile, socialize or be pleasant. A new, gaudy wedding band adorns her ring finger. Yuna sends her glacial glances as he sips his scotch and chugs his champagne. She knows what he’s thinking –she should at least pretend to be happy. Newlywed, she already knows his thoughts. But why play-act euphoria at this point in the day? The public has gone home and the journalists have been banished. Cagalli has followed through with this fiasco of a marriage; Yuna has won.Wedding guests approach her with half-hearted congratulations and searching, cynical eyes. They know love hasn’t made this match and would like to know what has.“We’re so happy for you,” says guest after guest, “we were hardly expecting you too to get married so soon.” Why? Is the question they’re all yearning to ask, we weren’t ever expecting you to actually go through with it all. They laugh as if they’re old chums and this wedding is one big inside joke. As if they’ve been waiting years to see this will-they-or-won’t-they couple tie the knot. Theatrics, but what else can one ask for at a cheerless political wedding?Fanning themselves with paper menus, Cagalli and Yuna accept their wanting words, wanting nothing more than for the day to be over. As the reception line finally begins to dwindle, there's a cheer and, not for the first time, a request for the happy couple to kiss. An hour ago, Cagalli might have flinched, but it’s remarkable how fast she has grown accustomed to kissing her new husband. Turning to Yuna, she offers him a frigid smile and serves up a kiss full of ice. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
