[The journal clicks on. What follows is a view of House 22’s kitchen and Itachi and Law seated at the kitchen table with the book propped up to capture them both in the camera.

All the arrangements have been pretty much been made. They’ve gone over the ceremony with Konan. Spoken with Rei about using the shrine. Spoken with Sasuke and Mikoto. Delivered wedding invitations to: Gai, Elizabeth (Bioshock), Mia, Luke Skywalker, Katara, Masaomi, Shikamaru, Albert, Raine, Ino, Naruto, Minato, Kushina, Sakura, Kakashi, and Sheena. Now it’s down to the final details such as this. And speaking with Rin regarding using Seventh Heaven for the reception.]

Good morning, Luceti. Itachi and I have a bit of an announcement to make.

[That's a pause, and Itachi realizes he's supposed to continue. He clears his throat, feeling slightly awkward addressing the village about this despite all their preparations. He's not embarrassed, not in the least, but this is merely a courtesy. Plenty here won't even know who he is.]

I am Uchiha Itachi. [A polite bow of the head.] A few days from now, Trafalgar Law and I are going to be wed.

It will not be a large ceremony. We did not wish to involve half the village.

Just the closest people to us. [Itachi isn’t the only person feeling slightly awkward. Journal announcements have never been a favorite activity of Law either.] Though we did want everyone to know the good news. Thank you.

[Filtered 100% to Rin]

We were wondering if it would be alright with you if we host our wedding reception at Seventh Heaven on January 24th? Please let us know if you have any objections to this.

((Replies may come from either Itachi or Law, or both.))

He did. [Two days after when he hit the clinic for his transfusion.] ... I think you're going to have to. I'm sure Gai's bursting at the seams to let the village know exactly what a lucky man you've made him. I've never seen him so happy.

[... oh yeah, about that... cough...] ... eh, not really. We... just thought we drew a little less attention than we did. [And then there was that thing with the bouquet toss that let it even more out of the bag. Yeeeep. Never going to live that down ;;]

Oh, you're exaggerating. [Elizabeth laughs a little, and almost goes on to gush about how happy she is too-- but this isn't her wedding announcement.]

I'm sure most people didn't notice! I just have a habit of being very observant.

[Voice]

[deathsdoctor]

Maybe. [There's another flash of smile.] Maybe not.

[Enough did, though. Gai knew immediately, Luke noticed, and he's sure that other observant people caught on. Too many knowing looks.] I hope so. We didn't want to take away from their big day.

[tearmeanewone]

Oh I don't think you did! Gai and I talked about getting married too, it's probably the natural thing to do when you see two people officially celebrating their love.

[Voice]

[deathsdoctor]

Good. [Law chuckles.] Now I've got to wonder how many people got to that sort of conversation while they were there. There were more than a few couples at that wedding.
