While everything seemed to be going great until now, there was one thing that surprised the people participating, and made a lot of rumors to spread around.
The absence of the Old Patriarch of the Kirigaya Clan, and a few of the important elders, including the elders of the brides.
It seemed like all this was more of a personal event organized by Kirigaya Endo, the current patriarch of the Kirigaya Clan, than some big wedding amidst the Clan.
There were a lot of reasons thrown in the mix, some people said that the Old Patriarch was still supporting his elder son.
Some said that Kirigaya Endo was doing this against the Clan's wishes! There were even those who said that Kirigaya Endo didn't want to marry the ladies, but was forced.
No matter how wide, and rich the imagination of the gossipers was, none of the people inside believed in those stories, as they were more concentrated on the approaching ceremony.
