Setting everyone's gifts aside for now, the main event today was still Naruto and Hinata's wedding.
As the bells rang out in the wedding hall, pure white petals were scattered into the sky.
Once-familiar music began to play, its cheerful rhythm seeming to take them back to childhood.
Naruto and Hinata were both a little nervous. After all, this was their first time getting married, so a little nervousness was normal.
Under the eyes of their friends and family, Naruto took Hinata's hand and walked with her toward the wedding dais that symbolized happiness.
Scenes from their childhood kept flashing by.
The first meeting between two little tots, two children who had saved each other.
Neither had any friends their own age, and both had been targeted by the village's little brats for equally ridiculous reasons.
To Naruto, Hinata was his first friend, and his best friend too.
During those days when every other child was hostile toward Naruto, she had been the only light that appeared and accepted him.
And to Hinata, Naruto was the sun who had rescued her from danger and given her the courage to keep moving forward.
The two of them reached the dais, and a solemn bell rang out.
After both sets of parents had spoken, Kurama, the officiant, cleared his throat and asked Naruto a question.
"Naruto, do you love the girl before you?"
Honestly, if not for the solemn atmosphere, Kurama might not have been able to ask such a pointless question.
What was love?
How did you define love?
There were many feelings in the world. Perhaps love was only a combination of a few of those emotions.
But for the two people in love, it had already become something tangible.
Naruto nodded and said without any hesitation:
"I do."
Good.
