"Ranma, glad as I am that you have found true happiness, there are still a number of issues that exist that require your attention."
"The fiancées..." Ranma mused, gazing lovingly at his wife. "Na chan, now that we're finally home, would you like to get married?"
"Well, we technically are already married, but I would love to have Kasumi there. And I did get to have a wedding with my mother there so it's only fair that you should too. When did you have in mind?"
