The Chosen Bride
The patriarchs would gather to discuss the wedding in a ceremony called yuino, which involved a series of parties and an elaborate exchange of symbolic gifts.
Since Hiroshi had proposed the wedding, and his daughter didn't follow Japanese traditions to the fullest, he allowed me to highlight the typical Italian ceremony, one that wasn't going to happen but that Gemma talked about with great pride, in an excessively excited manner that I hoped she would someday enjoy with a good man when she gave herself the time.
