marriage
And don’t even think of getting married in silence, because you’d be ripping off John Cage.
The most successful anime romance movie of all time ties together real-life couples, even if the path to true love isn’t always a direct one.
Ordinary people will be none the wiser, but fans will see paired-up Pocket Monsters congratulating them on their upcoming marriage.
What better way to ensure your guests remember your big day than by giving them a tiny plastic model set of you and your spouse?
Poké-pop the question with this beautiful handcrafted case from Japan’s Pokémon wedding jeweler.
Perfectly recreated bride’s dress, Moogle desserts, and wedding Chocobo are all part of the package.
There’s a method to their madness, though, with different themes for different rooms, and one anime-safe space remaining.
What makes for a good couple? Our Japanese-language writer muses on her own marriage to a French husband and its notable quirks.
