[COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS]

It's gotten cold.

Let's go.

Isn't this a government office?

Yes, it is.

It's not a bank?

It says "Nagano Bank" here.
We used to drive by here a lot.

Here.

What's this?

A marriage registration.

Marriage registration!

Um..

I brought your Inkan [official stamp]
as well.

For real?

Amazing: first one I've seen.

Amazing: the first I've seen too.

This'll be a good memory since this is
where we started dating.

Amazing: right?

I never thought we'd be filling out
a marriage form in Karuizawa.

So, this is all I need
for the family registry [koseki]?

Name of the registrant -
is that me?

Okay, thank you!

Wow!

It has some grandeur, right?

Yeah!

Okay, hand it in.

Please, take care of this for us.

Please.

The actual people have to submit this:
do you have your IDs?

I don't have my bag.

Bag?

It's at the place we're staying.

Yes, my ID in my purse,
but I left it there.

You'll need it to complete
the registration.

I understand. A certificate of residency.

Please.

Yes.

-Thanks for your help.
-Thanks.

Yes. Let's go.

Was it accepted?

-Not today: you didn't have your ID.
- I didn't have it.

The date doesn't matter.

Ah, the date doesn't matter

You didn't have your ID, right?

Wow!

This is so cool.

Are these real?

They're real.

Is this Opus One?

For real?

We've had it before.

I want to drink it!

Can I take a picture?

Sure.

Cool!

-This is great! Did you prepare all this?
-Yeah.

Shall we have a drink?

Sure.

Okay then.

Cool. How many roses did you use?
How many roses did you use?

-Huh?
-How many roses did you use?

Twenty roses.

Twenty roses?

Twenty roses.

Can I put these in the bath?

Go ahead.

We had trouble
at the registration office today.

I never thought we would go there.

Really.

It was a surprise?

Yeah.

I didn't bring anything like an ID.

That's totally understandable.

That's the first time I saw or filled out
a marriage form. I was nervous.

I was nervous.

We didn't have a lot of time

-We didn't.
-We didn't.

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Treat me well.
-Treat me well.

Cheers!

-Thank you for having me.
-I should be thanking you

It's great, right?

It's already
a little oxygenated[?muffled]

Really?

Once again

Wow!

Awesome!

Roses.

For me?

Yes.

That's great!.

I bought these thinking
I would be successful in proposing

These are for my fiancé -
there are 40 symbolizing eternal love.

Thank you.

Here.

-Treat me well.
-Treat me well.

Yes.

You must have
bought all the roses in Karuizawa.

Yeah - there are no more left.

-Really?
-Yes.

Thank you.

They're perfect for me!

What should we do next?

Are we a married couple now?

We are.

The clerk called me “husband’
and you “wife”.

Hearing that sends chills down my spine.

i am so glad i was able
to ask you to marry me.

What was it that made you
decide to marry me?

Good question ...

It’s hard to decide what it is.

There has to be something.

Not really.

Let me ask.

Please tell me.

The fact that there is nothing particular
that made me decide is a good thing.

No! That's not good at all!

My way of saying that was bad.

It was just a natural decision.

Oh, okay.

Do you know why I wanted
to propose here on the terrace?

For nostalgia's sake.

For the nostalgia.

Nostalgia for when we lived here.

I confessed before going to work.

Yeah and it was right before your work.

Yeah - we only had like ten minutes

I know, right! We had
to hurry, hurry, hurry!

That is a good memory.

Yes, it is.

Moar wine? Enough?

No, some more, please.

More?

-Yes.
-Yes.

We are able
to have good alcohol. Seriously.

Thank you so much.

Not at all.

I have become a wife.

You have.

How many kids do you want?

Well, I am one of 4 sisters;
So I want there to be siblings.

Several?

Yes, several.

Several, right?

Yeah.

I'm an only child.

So you don't want many?

I don't really care: I don't know
what it's like to have siblings.

Having siblings is good:
you don't get lonely.

Also, after things calm down
I want to travel ...

to the place where
you were born and raised.

Austria?

Yes: I want to go.

I haven't been there for 8 or 9 years.
If things go well, I want to go.

Yeah.

Also, Karuizawa has become familiar to us,

and so it would be nice to get
a nice cabin or summer house here.

Seriously:, please be patient with me!

We could bring the kids here
for summer vacation.

Once we have kids, we will think about it
and try to do it.

Are you sleepy? Do you need more wine?

I want to take it slow.

Slow.

We should stay calm ...

or we might end up with a baby!

I'm too impatient.

Can't say the same for you?

Same for me?

Thank you. But, really, thank you.

I'm so happy -
I didn't think this day would come for me.

-Is this about I came into the house?
-Yes, yes.

-Yes, yes.
-Yes, yes.

The day you came into the house

I said, "Hai: marry me!"

That happened in the introductions.
I was taken aback.

Taken aback?

Taken aback that such people exist.

We did well.

I do have something that's bothering me:

I like to sit on that side of the table.

I forgot.

Do you want to come over here.

No, it does't matter: I'm a wife now.

So, it doesn't matter any more -

before you were married
it mattered how you looked to others.

Now, I'm someone's wife

Someone's wife, huh?

That's sexy.

But, truthfully,

I'm almost 10 years older than you:

as we age, do you still have confidence
that you will love me as I get older

Yes. For sure.

Everyone's listening, you know

I have one more thing prepared.

-What?
-What?

Let's go to the sofa.
