For several days, whenever I had free time, I found myself deep in thought. About the wedding ceremony I hadn't even considered as I lived my busy life.
When Sarang came to us at twenty, we were only sorry for our thoughtless actions that didn't consider those around us. On top of that, there were some family circumstances, like my older brothers not being married yet.
After Jeongwoo hyung got married, it was hard to find time due to graduation, job hunting, and childcare. By the time I got used to work and had some breathing room, Heeseong hyung got married, and then we had Somang.
A wedding ceremony wasn't something you could just do because you had some extra money. It required a lot of help from family members, and above all, time.
But we, at some point, stopped considering it altogether. Before, we thought we'd do it when we had the means. We'd already filed our marriage registration anyway.
As we both worked, raised two children, and spent fun family time on weekends, there was no room for thoughts of a wedding ceremony to creep in.
This time too, it just suddenly occurred to me while looking at photos in bed.
"So, would it be okay to do it like that?"
"If you're fine with it, it's no problem. Heena's very busy, so that might be tiring for her too."
"Alright. I'll talk to her about it and get back to you."
While working from home, I took a moment to share my thoughts about the wedding with Mom. Fortunately, she was positive about my idea.

"By the way, when are you bringing Somang over?"
"Um... How about this weekend?"
"Make sure you do. Bring Sarang too."
"Yes, ma'am."
For us to have a big wedding ceremony like others, there was too much we'd have to sacrifice for that one thing. Even if everything else was fine, it would be tough on Heena.
She's already busy with work, and to pour all her free time, from weekdays to weekends, into just that...
Of course, if Heena wanted to have a grand wedding ceremony, receiving blessings from numerous people, despite considering all that, I could help her with it.
But Heena wouldn't do that.
I've been dating and married to Heena for over 10 years now. They say you can measure the depth of water, but not the heart of man. However, I can now read Heena's mind as clearly as looking at my palm.
To be honest, it's hard not to know. She's always been so consistent and simple when it comes to me.
That's why I didn't think I needed to worry too much about our wedding ceremony. If doing it big was difficult, we could just do it small.
After all, there were only two things Heena would want from a wedding ceremony. Having me and the kids by her side. And receiving blessings for our wedding from our loving family and friends.
As long as those two things were fulfilled, she wouldn't care about anything else.

"Yeah! I like that idea too. Let's start coordinating schedules now~"
Heena enthusiastically agreed with my suggestion of having a small, family-and-friends-only ceremony centered around photo-taking.
She used to have some romantic notions about weddings, but now it seemed like she saw it as just another event.
Not "I really want to do this!" but more like "That sounds fun~"
"It's not urgent, and we don't need to pick an auspicious date, so we can prepare at our own pace."
"Okay. But how about dressing Somang and Sarang in tuxedos and dresses? They'd be so adorable~"
"Wait. Somang in a tuxedo? Wouldn't that give us a heart attack?"
"Hehehe, right? Sarang in a dress... no, hanbok would be pretty too..."
"Let's do the ceremony in dresses and take studio photos in hanbok later. Since it's small-scale, we don't have many expenses, so we should do everything we want."
"Definitely! I want to dress the kids in all the outfits I can think of! Oh my! I'm so excited!"
She seemed even more thrilled about taking photos of the kids than of us. I could totally understand that feeling though.
"What are you going to draw next?"
"I'm gonna draw Crayon."
"Let's draw together, sis~"
I watched Sarang and Somang drawing together harmoniously at the living room table. Imagining those two in tuxedos, dresses, and elegant hanbok.
Wow, that's insane, isn't it? Aren't they so cute they might get kidnapped?
Just a brief daydream was enough to make me think such silly thoughts. Our kids are already adorable just being themselves, so how much cuter would they be all dressed up?
And not just the kids.
"I really want to see you in a tuxedo too... Can you do a princess carry for me?"
"Of course. I can even do squats while carrying you."
"Really~?"
And how much prettier will our Heena be, whose beauty seems to hit new highs every day? I couldn't even imagine it. She's already unbelievably beautiful, is it even possible for her to be more beautiful than this?
By the way, Heena's touch is gradually...
-Slide
"...Do you want to?"
"Hmm?"
Heena's hand was slowly moving from my cheek to my collarbone, then to my thigh, with a seductive touch.
We're talking about our once-in-a-lifetime wedding ceremony, isn't it a bit odd for the mood to suddenly shift in that direction?
But Heena didn't stop her hand regardless of my reaction. Just checking once in a while to make sure the kids weren't looking this way.
"You know..."
"Yeah."
"Imagining you in a tuxedo... I can't hold back."
"You know you have to, right?"
You know it's a weekday today, we have to go to work tomorrow, and Sarang and Somang are drawing right in front of us, right?
Is this once-in-a-lifetime event of a wedding ceremony just serving as a libido booster right now?!
Heena was in a very calm state until I brought up this topic. But now she had the eyes of a lion with its prey right in front of it.
"Haah..."
Even letting out a heated breath.
Come on, what's so special about me in a tuxedo that it suddenly turns Heena into this? I mean, if I imagine Heena in a wedding dress, I might feel a bit...
Let's imagine it.
If Heena wore a pure white dress, smiled at me, and gently lifted her skirt with both hands...
Ah.
I want to do it too?

On the day I brought this up with Heena, we ended up unable to continue our wedding-related conversation, overcome by our desires. We snuck into the bathroom together for a quick, good time.
Anyway, after that day, we started preparing one thing at a time at a leisurely pace.
"Right~ You should have a ceremony too. But is it okay to keep it that small?"
"To be honest, I'd be fine with just taking photos at a studio, but that seems a bit too casual."
"What do you mean, just photos? You should have a ceremony. By the way, are you going to dress the kids in hanbok too?"
We'd already talked to my mom about it, so we also informed Heena's parents. They didn't object to our small wedding plans either.
Basically, it was hard for Heena to do it because she was too busy. And sacrificing every weekend for months to prepare for the wedding wasn't what we wanted either.
Next, we tried to estimate the number of guests who would come to the wedding. We planned to sincerely tell family members, starting from extended relatives, that they didn't need to come if it was inconvenient.
Even though it was a joyous occasion, attending these things on weekends could be bothersome and tiring.
Actually, we had a rough idea of which relatives would come and who wouldn't. Add to that the number of friends who would probably come...
"It'll be around 50 people, right?"
"Yeah. And that's only if all our friends can make it."
"True, there's no need to force people to attend if they're busy. We should make it clear that it's really okay if they can't come."
We planned to invite only the friends we kept in regular contact with, excluding those we had lukewarm relationships with. We'd tell the others about it but let them know it was okay not to attend or give a gift.
Anyway, among the acquaintances we weren't close with, those who would have come had already attended Jeongwoo hyung's wedding and given gifts then.
We'd return the favor when those friends had their own celebrations, but since we didn't know when that would be, giving gifts twice like this might be burdensome for them.
This gift-giving culture, really...
Anyway, for these reasons, we'd invite Lia and a few of Heena's friends, those guys who've stuck with me since high school, two or three college juniors, and... I wonder if Yu Jun would come if we invited him. He lives in Busan, so it's quite far.
This was something we'd need to ask about schedules later, so we moved on for now.
Next would be the venue, order of ceremony, buffet food, and studio, dress, and makeup, I guess. We had to look into vendors for all of these. But we weren't pressed for time.
"Are we being too casual about this? Why does it feel so relaxed?"
"It's because we're looking at it long-term now~ It'll get pretty busy a month or two before the ceremony."
"I guess so, right?"
The date for the ceremony was at least half a year away, and even that was for a small wedding, so there wasn't much to think about right now. Plus, we had the mindset that we'd go ahead even if people couldn't come, which made it even more relaxed.
We'd set the maximum number of guests at 50 from the start. Also, Rin noona said she'd look into venues a bit, so we were waiting for that.
So what could we do right away? As we were thinking...
"Honey, let's go look at clothes this weekend."
"Clothes? Studio, dress, makeup? Already?"
"Not that~ For Sarang and Somang. The vendors won't have kids' sizes, right? Even if they do, the fit might not be good."
"Ah, right. It would be better to look for the kids' clothes separately."
"Right?"
Following Heena's suggestion, we decided to go look for clothes for the children.
This... our kids are so cute, aren't we going to die from cuteness overload?
