Me and Ai

Chapter 93: A Sea and Sky of Flowers

"Good morning, Mr. Kisaragi, Ms. Yamashita. It's good to see that you're both looking healthy."

Ms. Katsura, our wedding planner, greets us from the lobby of Marriage Contract and leads us to one of the discussion rooms where they talk with their clients regarding their wedding plans and details. She gives us both a glass of water and sits down on her desk.

"So, have you two finalized your preferences and choices from the files I gave you?"

"Yes, we have."

"That's great to hear! The sooner you two make up your minds, the better! The wedding may be next year but for us wedding planners, that's very near! So, tell me about your decisions; I'd like to know what you two have come up with and address some concerns that may rise. So where do you guys want it to be held?"

"We would like to have the wedding ceremony at Kyoto Botanical Garden and the reception will be at Brighton Hotel." Ai says.

"So you two are definitely going for the garden wedding, hm? That's good news! I think it will be wonderful! The flowers will be wonderful during your wedding day; they'll be in full bloom and colors! Do you have any requests with regards to the arrangement of flowers or with the types?"

"We'd like to leave it to your wedding designers and florists; we would like to be surprised. Our only request would be that the flowers' colors would be joyful and that they would make the place look and feel happy no matter where you'd look."

"Noted! We will have our best designers and florists to do the job! You can count on us, Ms. Yamashita. Oh I forgot to ask, will you two also stay at that hotel?"

"Yes, we will be staying there as well."

"Alright, I will arrange the booking then. For the reception, what will be the food?"

"Well..." I look at Ai with a wry smile.

"We couldn't decide so we were wondering if it would be alright to have a mixture of the cuisines that the hotel offers."

"There's no problem with that, Mr. Kisaragi; that would be fine. Now that we've settled on the venues and catering, I would like to ask what will be the theme or colors you'd be using."

"We've decided to use pastel colors." Ai says.

"Yellow, red, pink, green, orange, purple, and blue; we'd like to have to colors." I say.

"Will you use those colors for the dresses and suits as well?"

"Yes."

"I think that will be good with the venue but to have a little variety between the decorations and attires, we'll play with the decorations a little but do not worry, we will show you illustrated drafts of the decorations before pushing thru with them. We'll also check the colors of the flowers that will bloom so that we could have an idea of the perfect shade of the colors; we'll contact the botanical garden by today or by tomorrow so that we could inform you right away and have the designs of the dresses and suits done."

"Um, we've already had some designs for the dresses in mind as well as the suits."

"Oh! That's good! Let me just call our agent who's in charge of the attires; he'll draw and discuss the designs with you both. I'll be right back."

Ms. Katsura hurriedly exits the room to call on the designer.

"Ms. Katsura is hardworking, isn't she Ai?"

"She definitely is. I'm amazed that she's able to gather all of the information and files by herself."

"Wait, she gathered all those by herself?!" The fifteen thick clear books sent to us at home?!
