Clara and I finally tied the knot after more than a decade. It was a short ceremony at the Pyrmont registry with close family, but it was lovely. The celebrant joked that it was “her first Sanrio wedding” on account of all of Clara’s Pompompurins, many of which her brother and fiancé brought for her. It was adorable. We met at our university anime club. We hung out, and gradually it turned into something more. Our first “date” involved us sitting at a bubble tea shop and talking from midday until closing time. That’s been our vibe ever since, from travel, to cosplaying as Yuki and Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi, to planning dinner. In some ways this was merely codifying something we had already built for many years, but it didn’t make it any less meaningful. I wish my mum were alive to have met her; I know she would have loved her too. We’ll be back in Vietnam in a couple of weeks for a short family trip again to celebrate, which will be lovely.
