So omg Ayu Wedding discussion thread~
 

I'm so in tears...but I don't want to spam the news thread! So we can discuss in both places k?

Do you think she'll have a big wedding dress? Or something unconventional? I wonder if the ceremony will be huge or small...

Do you really think she only knew Mannie that long? Do you think it will last?

Ayu has always been a "live in the moment" person...maybe she is rushing...but maybe she doesnt care! But then, why would it be so important to actually get married, you know? They could have just lived together like husband and wife...without actually having to go through with the ceremony...

idk, your thoughts?

And FYI, It has been confirmed that Ayu is not pregnant, and she is not retiring, so, sorry, the shotgun wedding ship has sailed.

Manuel Schwarz and Ayumi Hamasaki were married on 01/01/2011 at 6:20 pm Pacific Time~

we should make a new fanbook for them together, called A Wedding haha

I am so happy for them, i can't wait to hear furter information about it

She'll probably have two ceremonies, one incredibly private for family and another with friends.

For some reason, I can see Ayu going either way when it comes to the big, elaborate weddings. She's obviously a go-big-or-go-home kind of girl in her performance (and home, if tabloids are to be believed), but she's worn a wedding dress on stage so many times at this point... maybe she's over it? :P

I was so shocked when I found out!! I'm kinda excited now though....I really want to see the ring!
I wonder when the wedding will be?

I somehow want Ayu to be one of those few, young japanese people to do a traditional, japanese wedding. You know, the ones with tea ceremonies, big hats and a really gorgeous kimono? Then again, I want to see her in the world's biggest, most breathtaking and insanely expensive, white wedding dress.

Aaaahh overload :thud

How rich is Manny? :laugh

I really wanna see her in "real" wedding dress, glamour with lots of expensive jewerlies (since she's one of the most influence people in Japan)

IMO, It's kinda too fast, and communication would be the biggest problem. She doesn't really speak English and Manny doesn't speak Japanese. And where she is going to live?
How about her super busy schedule as an artist?

Baby Ayu would be cute (If she plan to have one), but is she going Hiatus?? (AHS would be temporary closed by then :laugh)

*too many questions in my head atm*

^She should do both! I can totally imagine her wearing a bejeweled tiara:luv2

you are right :D
We must do a wedding book or we do all a message video :OOO
Of course we must do a present for her :D

I soooo want a huge glamorous wedding a la the gay wedding in Sex and the City 2 :laugh

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. It seems like some kind of sick joke she's playing on everyone.

its not a joke Its been posted on team ta

i was sooo surprised! i still have a hard time believing it too >.< but omg, i feel really, really happy for ayu <333

Wish her the best!
I'm sure many of her fans have been waiting for this day to arrive.

I just... don't know how to feel about this right now. I'm so shocked. It seem so fast and so sudden. Of course I want her to be happy, but, I'm worried this will blow up in her face and I really don't want that. I don't know. :(

knowing Ayu she'll have a glamorous wedding, but i'm thinking it'll be kept private and small. :yes i can't wait to see her ring though!

Is there any REAL proof that that's NOT a joke?

I'm.. shocked :laugh I can't still believe she is going to marry Mannie! And woah was a real love at first sight :D I can't wait to see her wedding dress. I wonder if she will wear a traditional japanese wedding dress or a western one.
But she would look gorgeous, whatever she will wear :luv2

its real posted on her twitter and Manny posted something too

ayu_19980408 ayumi hamasaki
(^_−)−☆ RT @Mannie69: Things are gonna change in 2011 I'm gonna have a beautiful wife :)

mika posted too saying Oh, and leave, carrying ('▽ `) ♪ Bruno RT @ mikajohn: You will be going to my daughter Bride

It's also been reported to the media~

So...if she's joking everyone around...that's a pretty big joke lol

I wonder if her wedding will have any influences on other weddings in Japan. Like the dress for example.

I can't wait to see how their baby is goinna look alike!!! It's gonna be so cute :heart

That's so sweet from him, I'm so happy for Ayu :D

I wonder if they will even have kids! lol

Wow...this is so amazing! :o
I'm seriously shocked! I think they make a beautiful couple and I'm so HAPPY for them both...though it does seem a bit sudden. But you have to look at it from ayu's point of view...she's over 30, not married, no kids. These are things she wants in her life obviously. I am so happy that I believed in ayuxMannie for so long! ♥

I think it's wonderful!! They look really cute together~ I hope they can have a family together.

...uh?

That's all I can formulate.

http://img208.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto...1185501065.jpg

Maybe her dress will look like that :laugh

afjakl;fjew

IM ECSTATIC.

*cough* Me and Ayu got engaged on the same day, ONE YEAR APART. hahaha.

Okay. I just can't wait to see her wedding period. Maybe she will have a big elaborate japanese traditional ceremony, then wear the traditional white dress for a reception? :D

Can't wait for her to start showing the baby bump due to this shotgun wedding!

Seems rather sudden.

How will they even really talk? She doesn't know nearly enough English to truly know him and him know her. ~love is blind~ is such a sweet and childish sentiment though... I hope their few months is a blast~

How do you know how much English she knows? Have you ever had a conversation with her? She seems to understand it really well from what I've seen.
She's probably taking lessons as well.

Whatever. As long as they are happy and both get something out of the ralationship it doesn't really matter how long it lasts. Though I'm hoping they'll be together forever lol

According to this she is not pregnant or retiring.

^In the end that's all I really care about, lol.

The thing were i am the most curious about is: WHO asked WHO, and HOW?

and will be there be a pre-nup? lol

^What's a pre-nup?

I don't trust this guy, I'm sorry. The whole situation is fishy.

lol, if she wrote the lyrics to Dream ON.. then her English is very, very mediocre. and I don't understand how they're going to have a productive, meaningful relationship if they can't communicate effectively. But whatever floats their boats.

I hope she tested the merchandise before she bought it. :innocent

That's all I can say right now. My mind is too blown to sum up a rational reaction...

A prenuptial agreement, antenuptial agreement, or premarital agreement, commonly abbreviated to prenup or prenupt, is a contract entered into prior to marriage, civil union or any other agreement prior to the main agreement by the people intending to marry or contract with each other. The content of a prenuptial agreement can vary widely, but commonly includes provisions for division of property and spousal support in the event of divorce or breakup of marriage. They may also include terms for the forfeiture of assets as a result of divorce on the grounds of adultery; further conditions of guardianship may be included as well.

In some countries, including the Netherlands, the prenuptial agreement not only provides for the event of a divorce, but also to protect some property during the marriage, for instance in case of a bankruptcy.

Wow, that's pretty sudden especially since I thought they looked a bit awkward in the making of's and I don't just want to assume that she's pregnant and resorted to a quick marriage like so many other Japanese women have but I'm happy for her~

She most likely has pre-nup, if anything, Avex probably has a policy about it in their contracts.


And obviously they CAN communicate.

Every couple comes up with a system that they have for communication, even when they don't speak the same languages. If you've never been with someone who had a different native language than you...you might not understand...

but even when people speak the same languages, they still have a system.

You know, I'm not surprised after listening to Love songs so closely. It felt like she was saying she had found her true love, and I was wondering if she was engaged or really had a new boyfriend. It could have been my imagination, but yea...

omg you guys. You know what THE BEST PART is?

:uzi AYU X SHUYA

:yes

LOL :banana1

OH. HELL. YEAH. Didn't even think of that.
Jeez, finally.

THIS!!! I want ayu in a kimono!!!<3

MAYBE MANNIE WILL TEACH AYU HOW TO POSE SINCE HE'S A MODEL!!!


Omg.... still can't come up with a proper reaction... I feel sick.

^I'm just trying to quit spazzing before my folks come home and think I've lost my marbles. XD

Oh my god, I'm so happy for them~

for years and years I thought that if Ayu got married to anyone I would be pissed for some reason or another, but I'm actually just really happy and excited.

Okay... Serious thought. Does anybody think she'll get married on tour? Like on the stage at the final show? How unbelievable would it be if she had her wedding with her fans there?

^
She actually could do that, though I doubt it. Maybe...she's so close to her fans, it wouldn't surprise me.

If she did I would sell my kidneys to go see it! I would roll right up there on a dialysis machine!

^
XD
I'll follow behind with half a liver. It grows back right? Then I only need half.
Oh lord...I would pass out from excitement *__*

Oooh now i now what it means, thanks for explaning, i guess i now the words in Dutch for it. I fully inderstand it.:)

I think they have, almost every rich/famous person has them in marriage. It just to make thinks sure, and clear and is makes divorcing a lot easier.

That does sound like something Ayu would do..or maybe she would do something else special to commemorate it.

Someone mentioned making an A WEDDING book for them...that would be so cool!

(I'm cracking up at AHS crashing!)

Well Mannies a good looking fellow, so if anyone was gonna stomp AyuxShuya, I'm glad its him lol.

Atleast now I can finally stop hearing about Ayu x Japanese Zac Efron (Maro)

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I wonder who'll she invite to her wedding...

I still feel a bit shocked. LOL I'm happy for her though.

You know, I'm not big on marriage nor weddings but I absolutely love wedding dresses LOL. I can't help but imagine what her wedding dress will look like... I wonder if she'll get it custom designed by a top high fashion designer or something!

or maybe they'll privately get married, but do a little wedding skit on tour for the fans too or something. i have a feeling Ayu would want her wedding to be private, but who knows. this girl is full of surprises!

Her dress is gonna have tons of swarovski jewels on it! XD

ANd OMG Leslie Kee so better be photographing her wedding, it will be gorgeous!!!!

LOL yes I bet the whole wedding will be shiny/sparkly.
she's going to have so much fun planning it I bet lol, with her endless amount of money..

It could go either way. But whatever she decides, I support her~

OMG PHOTOBOOK PHOTOBOOK PHOTOBOOK "A WEDDING" *-*!!!!!

I don't care if her wedding is public or private I just want to see in professional pictures how gorgeous she's going to look!!!!!

honestly, i think Mannie and Ayu make a great couple. :laugh i can see a slight resemblance to Nagase, as in they both look kind of scruffy and "i don't care" like. XD

and i +1 an A Wedding photobook! :thud

I definitely see a photobook (or at least a wedding-themed ViVi spread) coming out of this. I don't know if she'd do a ceremony (mock or otherwise) on stage since in the past she's been very private about the details of her personal life. Also, we kinda already did see them get married in "Virgin Road" :D


One of my former coaches took a translator on his first date with his (now) wife /cool story bro

I suspect that Mannie and Ayu are able to communicate better than my coach and his wife were at the beginning of their relationship, but it just goes to show that it's possible to see a life-long relationship grow in spite of a huge language barrier.

+1

Hmmm if Ayu does a wedding photobook, I wonder if she'll wear multiple gowns....

Who's going to walk her down the aisle? Max? Her mummy? Is it possible, haha. Oh, Ayu.

Well, I meant a wedding book to her and Mannie from her friends. XD Like a congratulations sort of thing.

eh, I briefly dated a Japanese girl before, although I would seriously bet her English was better than Ayu's (to make up for my crappy japanese). But it didn't harm us any. Really the only problem that led to our inevitable downfall was cultural differences. I wouldn't worry too much about their communication. /shrug

I'm expecting avex to videotape the whole entire wedding then release it as

A WEDDING ~2011~ FINAL DATE

and it'll include behind the scenes look at setting up the wedding, picking out a dress, etc.

Ohhh gosh I'm still in shock :thud I honestly don't know what to think :laugh

someone posted a video of Mannie talking and my friend gave me a brief summary of what he was talking about xD

then Avex artists as guest performers. XD

I am very happy for her but... I'm just remembering Kevin Federline =\

Ayu please be wise and do a pre-nup! I'm really happy for ayu for finding her other half and getting married but at the same time I'm worried that Mannie is not the right one for her...seeing how they just met a few months ago...but I will support her decision and hope for the best for her. I wonder if ayu will take a break...

:roflmao

Mannie is not a disgusting slob of a loser unlike that waste of space.

:laugh agree'd.

Mannie is not a disgusting slob of a loser unlike that waste of space. [2]

Leah Dizon's husband = Kfed.

I think if Ayu and Mannie don't make it...it'll be a career thing...not a loser thing.

Then again, Brit Brit is a loser too, so...lol

Perish the thought!

But I do worry about this, too. :/

A pre-nup, oh what an american thing to do.
I'm just hearing Eddie Murphy's voice in my head for like forever everytime I hear that word.

"HALF!"

I don't get the whole Britney/Kevin = Ayu/Mannie thing.
So what, they just met 4 months ago (as far as we know, they could have met way before that). We don't know anything about that.
At least Mannie isn't a loser, has a respectable job of his own and could make it without Ayu, he doesn't need her money. It's obvious that they are in love. It was pretty obvious to me that something was up between them when she extended her stay in LA.

^If you watch the Virgin Road pv making of, Mannie said nice to meet you to Ayu.

^some people have implied that maybe it was staged lol

idk. Maybe they are just in love.

I figure, their engagement could go on forever so...we'll see lol

omg guys don't do that, don't compare them to Brit and K-Fed because just a few days ago I was watching the making of's and suddenly I saw this:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/phot...6gfXjabWP3U%3D

and was like "OMG why Ayu reminds me of Brit so much sometimes...." and then Pomsy (Pommy48) pointed out that Mannie looks like K-Fed.. i freaked out ....:eyebrow

really I doubt it's this case, people...stereotypes are stereotypes, stop being negative and don't call for bad yourself..>_<

^^don't you think that there is still a possibility that it could've been an act for the camera? :laugh even if it wasn't, they could very well be in love. Ayu is old enough and smart enough to make her own decisions and life choices.

:yes this.

Ayu's a smart woman, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't marry Mannie if she wasn't to sure about it. :shrug

I really don't know what to say. I'm still in shocked because it's kinda sudden. Well, even 7 years of relationship didn't end up to marriage so it doesn't matter if it's sudden.:innocent

But it will really take a few moments before it gets through my head that Ayu will be getting married. I think I'm just not into it that Ayu ain't gonna marry a Japanese guy (I'm not saying Mannie's not perfect for her or something).

Finally, Ayu is going to the real NEXT LEVEL in her life and I hope their marriage will last although my thoughts are 50:50. 50% lasting marriage and 50% divorce (I hope not).:shakehead

Ayumi Hamasaki - Schwarz

nope there love is real

when i watched the making off shot videos..
i actually expected to see more interaction between Ayu x Mannie...but actually they didn't show that much, except for one when Mannie wearing the clown mask and scared ayu then he hugged her..and i kinda think that Mannie is a very quite person coz he seemed so not talkative in the making off vids.. is he a shy person?

I thought it was weird too, Len-chan. I mean, she had things translated, and Mannie was standing right there...

Anyway, I've been thinking about the dress Ayu might wear for the wedding and how it might differ from the ones she's worn over the years for concerts and stuff... it's probably all so boring to her now. Maybe she'll wear the dress she wore in Virgin Road/Last angel. That would be something special ^^

I wonder if she'll sing something or have any of her songs played...

I dunno, for some reason I'm picturing a Princess Diana-esque wedding...

Well, the situation is similar (a more famous woman is marrying a less famous man — even tho we're not sure Mannie's profile that much). I think people are just being protective. Looking at them rite now I dun think Mannie is K-Fed clone. The worst scenario I can think of for ayu case is hikki x kiriya type (another famous woman married a less famous man). They mutually separated with no messes left behind. I'm sure that Max and her Peachy friend (forgot her name) will give her advices, and I'm sure ayu is maturer than Britney at least.

And most importantly... why are we thinking about the bad future when they're not even married yet...? :P (my own answer: I'm just being a bit worried... :P)

Probably Max or Yocchan? Doesn't she think of Yoshio like her father figure? And it might depend on the type of wedding. Do Japanese weddings have a "walk down the aisle" type thing?

:yes And it'll be priced at like $100 and come with some bonus like a flower from the wedding. LOL.

^^ Mika Noguchi?

I hope not... cuz Princess Diana didn't have a good ending :no.

I dunno why, but I hope ayu will have a warm private wedding instead of a big glamorous one.

I think that she's making a big mistake, it's too rushed.
I think that she feels like The Nanny who believes that if she doesn't get married in
her early 30's that it would be too late.
I think that Manny is using her, I hope I'm wrong.

It better not be like those celebrities marriages that only last a few months.

Bleh I guess I'm happy for her that she's settling down.

all we can do for them is to pray that everything is gonna be alright and be happy for ayu with her choice of love!
