He's Austrian because he visited his family in Austria before he went to Japan to see ayu! <3

i really wish to see a press conference to see them together on stage holding hands, for the 1st time and for real and announcing they are married..

I wonder why this is so rushed? Maybe she is pregnant

like

- Oh AYU lets do it without condom !
- Okey lets do it Mannie xD

- Oh no! I am pregnant!

- Mannie I am pregnant
- Will you marry me?
- Oh I have to write about it on Team ayu!

lol

Thanks god I can't get pregnant, else I would be in a similar situation sooner or later :innocent

Wow, what a shock!

I'm glad that she's happy with Mannie :). Of course I'm concerned about if it will affect her productivity... but as long as she's happy, it' ok.

emiko should update the first post and put that it was confirmed that Ayu isn't pregnant.

This whole thread is redundant.

picture of them...
they're going back to LA this afternoon
not sure now where they were going~

Maybe they're going to Austria, to mannie's parents/family

^ actually, it's confirmed by a Japanese friend saying they go back to LA and will come back on 4th Jan, but donno if ayu go back alone or not~

They are engaged ..... :thud

omg I'm totally missing the whole thing here :laugh
Hoooow?~~

omg this is soooo exciting! :yatta She's gonna marry~~

Yeah!!!!!!I also noticed that part~~~At that time I thought "Wow, he's so considerate!!" Now i can understand why he did that, haaa!!:love

ooh in that case, i am curious, maybe they will hold and LA wedding and an Japan wedding, and are busy for that in LA.

Anyone knows how old Mannie is?

I know that his twitter account is Mannie69 but he looks younger than 41 years old.

I think they're engaged, so their wedding could be anywhere from now until maybe even 2012? I won't be surprised if Ayu wants to marry on 21/12/2012... that's the end of the world date right

i believe mannie is 29...

i read in a biogrpahy about Mannie that he left everything behind years ago when he moved to LA, so i don't think he has any family left. they are probably just spending the New Year together. maybe Ayu wanted to get out of Japan when she announced their engagement.

honestly, i have a good feeling that they new eachother longer than the Virgin Road PV filming. i don't think Ayu would rush into anything that fast with her stardom the way it is.

we all need to trust Ayu's instinct and be happy for her. atleast she didn't run off and marry him without telling us, then we'd all probably feel betrayed, lol. Ayu trusted us with the information of her getting married, it shows how much she loves and appreciates her fans.

Maybe this was the reason for a second album this year. XD

Mannie is 30 years old, 2 years younger than ayu~

Mannie went back to Austria to his family though, so i think he still has family members left..

I can tell you that the caterers won't be serving paella at the wedding(s).

:innocent
