All they had left to do was exchange their rings and a kiss - introducing Mr. and Mrs. Villareal!

Once everybody takes their seats outside, the ceremony begins! The first backyard wedding of the legacy and it’s not even family (though Nick and Mina are close enough!)

Winnie: Ahhh, I can’t believe the day is finally here!
Mina: *nervous chuckle* Haha, yeah…me either. 
Ariella: Can you please get this girl in her dress? I’ve got a schedule to keep and she’s been stalling all morning!

With Itsuki busy, Winnie went around and tried to make a good impression with some of his coworkers. She and Emiko definitely hit it off!
(Emiko was a mutual friend of Itsuki and Yuuki’s, and was namedropped as a potential suitor by Kaori! She’s actually real! 😆)

Mina: Winnie! Oh, it’s so good to see you. How are you dealing with everything? *lowers voice* And by that, I mean living here?
Winnie: Better than expected, if I’m being completely honest. Though, I’m still a little nervous that I might mess up in front of his parents at any minute…
Mina: You could always move back in with us - Nick’s used to staying in hotels by now, I’m sure he won’t mind!
Winnie: *laughs* Yeah, right. Like you won’t be attached at the hip once he gets here!

Look who I found all dressed up for the festival together! I think Yamachan may be freaking Hayato out a little bit 😂 I don't know how - he's so cute!

After she finally recovered, they talked about the different things she needed to know about living in Mt. Komorebi - from the customs and foods to the different festivals they have. 
Ariella: Of course, the main thing people come to see is the mountain itself! Not many people climb it but it’s normally packed with skiers and snowboarders. Are you interested in extreme sports?
Winnie: We don’t have many mountains in the city...but I’d love to try! I think snowboarding looks really fun!
Mina: *chuckles* As long as you don’t trip yourself down the mountain, we should be good!

Once Hayato and Mina arrived home, it was already time for dinner - tonight, it was a sukiyaki hotpot! After finding out that this meal wasn’t going to catch her mouth on fire, Winnie eagerly dug in...and realized she had no clue how to use the chopsticks she was given! 😂

Ariella: You know, you really don't have to go so soon! Mina's getting married, so a spare room will open up if you ever need it!
Winnie: I'll keep that in mind! Thank you for the hospitality and especially for the advice. You've really made me feel welcome.

The pair chatted for awhile, about living in a different country - Ariella praising her for following her dreams like she did - and Winnie sought as much advice from her as she could. Ariella even gave her some pointers for learning Komorebigo - and offered her an old translation guide book to study!

With Mina and Hayato at work, Ariella invited Winnie up to her office if she needed anything - even if it was just company and after awhile of nervous pacing for her interview tomorrow, Winnie took her up on her offer.
Ariella: Hey! Come on in, you’ve caught me at a perfect moment - I need a good reason to procrastinate.
Winnie: What are you working on? 
Ariella: My next travel book! Even though I’m settled down now, they still pay me to write them.

As they chatted, with Ariella and Mina taking turns translating Hayato for everybody, she got to know not only Mina’s parents, but somehow, Mina even more so. Eventually, though, Ariella and Hayato began collecting their things.
Ariella: Well, we’d probably should get going soon if we’re going to make our reservation. We wanted to take Mina as well as Nick to dinner, and get to know him better.
Winnie: Nick?
Mina: I don’t know why they’re so interested in getting to know my friends but I guess you’re invited too, Winnie, if you’d like.

Excitedly taking the empty seat in front of them, Winnie bowed her head and respectfully introduced herself the way Mina had taught her. Mina’s mother’s face lit up as she bowed in response.
Ariella: Hayato and I were hoping we’d get to meet some of Mina’s friends on our visit! We were just supposed to come in for the graduation ceremony but it’s just been too long!
Winnie: I totally understand and my parents are only an hour away! I couldn’t imagine a whole other country...
She hadn’t thought about that before. That job opportunity in Mt. Komorebi seemed a lot less appealing all of a sudden.

Since she was heading out on a whole new adventure in her life, Winnie dug out her old journal that she used when she was a teen to record all these new experiences she was having. 
The nerves and homesickness she was bound to feel was negated by how welcome Mina’s parents made her feel in their home and the excitement of what was going to come in this whole new place!

Meanwhile, in the upstairs office, Hayato and Ariella discussed their new houseguest. Being a travel writer, Ariella could remember how she felt the first time she left home for a whole new country. On the other hand, Hayato was just glad to know that the person looking out for his daughter while she was away seemed to be a kind girl. 
Ariella casually glanced out the window as they talked, just then noticing Winnie running around and splashing in puddles. 
Ariella: Okay...so, she’s a little strange? I still like her!
