I'm terribly sorry, but I think I've missed the information about a city they got married in. Was it in Las Vegas? Really? Did she say so? AHS was down for a while, that's why I'm asking, in case I didn't see this info.

I think she said it on twitter, but the photo from their hotel room clearly shows they are in Las Vegas. http://twitpic.com/3md3yo

Yes, thank you! I checked her and his twitter and found it out!

Getting married is pretty big, it's not like getting married on facebook. And Ayu may think Las Vegas is glamorous and all, but getting married in LAs Vegas to American people is the definition of trash.

She loves Mannie, but it seems like she's too busy to have time for him. I mean, if you really love a person, you should want to be with them and not your job. She knows she wants to work, but can't she take a month off in June or something or not do a-nation in August and then get married in Hawaii or something?

do you think that Ayu and Mannie haven't talked about their future? some people are assuming they rushed off and got married without any in depth conversation on their future and Ayu's career.

Ayu is a smart women, and thinking that she rushed off that quickly without any thought kind of shows your opinion on her. Vegas does not = trash. we've no earthly idea where she got married, some of you are just assuming she got married in some trashy hotel or chapel just because it's Vegas. Ayu lives a glamorous life, maybe she wanted a small and private wedding instead of something huge like most of us think she should or would have. it's kind of ignorant tbh. :/

[roanmy]

I wonder if we'll get to see any pics from the wedding, what dress she wore and stuff. I sort of expect it to be on TA, haha.

[kumiko.koda]

I would like to see pictures, too

[love in music]

it doesn't matter where they get married.. they are both happy and in love right now and Mannie has proven himself to be a really nice guy. there's nothing to worry about. some people are just too paranoid :/

[Peruseusu]

thx ^^ oooooh, so quick.... congrats to ayu!

Not having read everyone's posts, but I would think the negativity if at all comes from as a fan, caring about Ayu as most of us do, we are worried. No matter how smart we know she is, I think these feelings are normal given the circumstances. Most whirlwind romances hardly ever last for so many reasons. Now don't twist what I'm saying, I don't necessarily mean this in Ayu's case. That remains to be seen. Sure once processed, I am very happy for Ayu. Everyone should be happy that Ayu has found love as everyone should be happy when someone they know finds love. The thing though is in situations like this when we know the person directly, we play devil's advocate. Its out duty to right? We want what is best for that person. To make sure the one they love will treat them the best in all aspects of the relationship) as they deserve. Though obviously this is completely different because its a Fan/idol relationship and not a friend/friend.

All the years some of us have been listening to Ayu, we know a lot about her; of her. We care about her, so we just want to make sure this is the best though we cannot clearly state that to her in the best way. So I don't necessarily find it bad to question things especially with this being very new and still kind of unexpected announcement. Whether you agree or disagree with the whole situation, I think its still best to be respectful of each others opinions

I agree too.

Let's see how it will go, because we've been all aware of "forward-looking statements" that are subject to risk and uncertainty...

[Kazeyomi]

What's the most important thing?

The place where you will marry

or

The person who you will marry

If you cares more about the place, the dinner or the dresses than for your future husband. Well, we have some bad news for you lol.
I mean, who cares where she married Mannie she married who she loves. That's the most important thing. Maybe they will do big wedding in a gorgeous place later :| omg guys you're so over-dramatic and too negative about this wedding.

Anyway d'aaaww they looks so adorable in the pic thanks Misa-chan for the translaton!

You're right and I am sure she did not get married by an Elvis impersonator (hehe, I wouldn't mind if it was a Michael Jackson one, though) in some trashy Vegas hotel, but I'm just saying that I think (and other people, for that matter) it would've been nicer to just slow down. Neither am I doubting the fact that she sat down and talked to Mannie seriously about their engagement (which it was never really called). We're all Ayu's fan and as her fans we want her to be as happy as possible, and we don't want the Japanese media (or any country's media) to denigrate her because of her decision.

Since we don't want the public to think of her negatively so, to me, it's not that insane to think about some of the potential things that could happen and have a negative effect following her marriage. Because, frankly, if those things happen, which they may, Ayu will be hurt, and certainly none of us will be happy.

This.

I didn't feel particulary happy about the wedding and very shocked. And not because of any selfish reasons, the only reason is that I don't want Ayu to get hurt. That would be horrible to me. It's unfair to say that people who aren't crying tears of joy for Ayu, should just grow up.

Anyway, I'm kind of happy for her now. I guess I've come around. Some small part of me will always doubt the decision to marry that fast, but Ayu being happy right now is the most important thing. I really find it admirable to live in the here and now. I think Ayu doesn't think about the future a lot, that what she said in her interview with Talk Asia. And that's wonderful, it's an amazing character strength to live the moment! (I'm unable to do it and always worry about the future. I want to be like that, but it's impossible, I guess.)

i understand some of the negativity is because everyone of us cares about Ayu, but we really have no business telling her she's making a mistake or whatever. Ayu knows what she is doing and knows better than anyone else what's best for her. if she feels this is right, then let her make that decision for herself. she has decided to take the next big step in her life and we should support her and be happy for her.

[yamashita.san]

I`m glad that finally ayu fallen in love

[4ever*ayu]

we should be happy for her, i think she has been searching this kind of luv ever since she broke up with TN...she really needs this , especially rite now when she's already 32..

congrats ayu-neechan...hope she really find the love of her lifetime with mannie.

[cool_kickin_dude]

wow...*stunned*

that's all I can say

[Mintkisses]

ATTENTION NEGATIVE FANS:

Did you know that Ayu is in her 30s? Did you know that's she's a very smart, independant women? OH and did you know that even though she's a celebrity she's human?

Fans who are being negative towards Ayu's decision should be ashamed of themselves. Ayu is a great women who has done everything she can possibly do since the beginning of her career to please her fans. It just so happens that Ayu has found someone who she loves and loves her just as much. LET THE GIRL BE HAPPY. Whether you believe it's a good or bad decision, it's not your decision. It's Ayumi Hamasaki's decision as a individual. If she wants to be with Mannie, then let her be with Mannie. Giving her negative support is the worst, most disgusting thing you can do to someone who has been so generous to us.
