This is not the first time I've been in this shop. I've been here already when I celebrated Hanayo's birthday. But it's still different when it's an event cafe, and not just the cafe on an ordinary day.
So which waifu is this from my list of waifus? She's the one whom I declared the top waifu last April 1. She is Koizumi Hanayo. The theme of the cafe event is Love Live! wedding. Moment Ring: A Forever with µ'sic is the name of the event.
A Love Live! marriage event was announced, and I told myself, why not take the chance? It's not everyday you see these kinds of events. The fact that I know some of the cosplayers in the event is an added bonus. It's also a nice experience to get married to the best girl of all.
With some friends, we reserved slots for the lunch session. Weeks prior to the event, we were already excited on what would be happening on the event. In fact, I had my outfit and armor planned well. The only one which is not prepared well, is the wedding vow, because I had a busy schedule. It was crammed, but still turned out pretty well, since I got the outline.

My armor was made the day before the event, although I already had the blueprints and the materials prepared beforehand. Usually, armors are done using bags and placing those trinkets on the bags. I thought of doing something different, and unique. The result is the shield, literally an armor, designed like an onigiri, which Hanayo loves a lot. I'll make a separate blog post for the specific details.
The first part of the event are the performances, by Hanayo, Kotori, and Rin. I was about to miss Hanayo's performance, because I have to move the car on the parking area. Thanks to my friend who told everyone to wait for me, I did not miss Hanayo's performance. I guess it's a good thing that she knows how much I'm dedicated to Hanayo.
The next part of the event is the mini games with the members of Aquarius. On games requiring skill, I can manage. But with luck based games, I lost. For these games, we can win cosplayer cards.
My meal for this event is Hanayo themed. Onigiri for the meal, and matcha milk as the beverage. the serving may seem small, but it actually is very filling. The taste is very nice. It's something that I was not expecting It's a must try for rice lovers, especially rice goddess (Hanayo) worshippers.
What made me enjoy it more?

I can actually hold the onigiri, without it crumbling. It's made of not just any rice. It's sticky rice, as I've felt as I held it. It's fun to eat it with hands, just like how Hanayo eats it in Season 2, Episode 7. Am I one step closer to being with the rice goddess?
The best part of the event is the actual wedding. Of course, this is what the event is all about. We all get to say our wedding vows for our best girls. While my friends had simple vows, mine is different. I made mine with puns of song titles from µ's, as much as possible from Hanayo's solo songs, and from Printemps. My friend wanted to cringe as he read my wedding vow. This is how my wedding vow goes (I will put the song titles and Hanayo related lines in all caps):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hanayo-chan, LISTEN TO MY HEART.
With this ring, I promise to love you forever, in sickness and in health. I love you for your voice, and your cute appearance. But most of all, I love you because of your personality.
Let's play NAWA TOBI as we START:DASH into a new chapter in our life. I promise to free you from your KODOKU NA HEAVEN. And I with you, I will be freed from my own KODOKU NA HEAVEN.
No matter what others would say, I wanted to shout this out loud. AISHITERU BANZAI! Just say DAREKA TASUKETE, and I will answer CHOTTO MATTETE.
Let's begin by having a SWEET & SWEET HOLIDAY.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't believe all that lines fit in a minute of wedding vow.
Translations:
Nawa Tobi - Jump Rope
Kodoku Na Heaven - A Lonely Heaven
Dareka Tasukete (Hanayo's line on live show) - Someone help me
Chotto Mattete (answer to Hanayo's line on lives) - Wait a minute
Due to time constraints, the contest winners were not announced for the lunch session. Yes, there are contests for best dressed, best armor, and best wedding vow.
And there will also be a part two of this event, which I'm really excited about, by the way.
