I'm actually pretty sure that in a country like Japan, where status is so highly regarded, if the male is on a lower "level" than his bride, he takes her name.

Gender by far takes the higher status in Japan. But I'm sure she will always go by "Ayumi Hamasaki". Just on forms and stuff she might have to write Ayumi Schwartz. But honestly I doubt she will even change her name at all; you don't absolutely HAVE to when you get married.

The more I think about it, the more I think that her marrying a western man is probably the best option for her. Ayu is pretty out there by Japanese standards for a woman so marrying a western man probably will provide her with more freedom to continue her career as she wants to. I know that sounds pretty stone agey, but although things are changing in Japan, that is still considered the norm.

Well, so much for discussing what kind of dress or wedding she will have. XD

I think I'm more stunned now than I was when she announced the engagement.

erika_ayu · #**290** 2nd January 2011, 06:44 AM

ownsarai · #**291** 2nd January 2011, 06:49 AM

She and Mannie are already married, they did it in LA I think. Or maybe Vegas? But yea. I'm so happy right now, I feel like crying!

lumieregrl · #**292** 2nd January 2011, 06:50 AM

Hey, at least we got a wedding pic of sorts. XD

panda♥ · #**293** 2nd January 2011, 06:56 AM

they are NOT officially married from what i understand. they only registered their marriage license so they can get married whenever they want now.

^ Yes, based on the Japanese article my boyfriend helped to translate for me, they DO have a marriage license already they just haven't set the time to have the actual ceremony yet. But I believe that, at least by US law, they are married now.

panda♥ · #**295** 2nd January 2011, 07:10 AM

^i guess it was something sort of lost in translation.

so they've taken the second step and actually gotten their license and are already past the registering part.

ayu-fan · #**296** 2nd January 2011, 07:11 AM

in a small chapel? i wonder if it's the same chapel she used for filming Virgin Road lol.

ownsarai · #**297** 2nd January 2011, 07:12 AM

As far as I can tell, once you have the license...you are legally married. The ceremony isn't really necessary, it's just to celebrate the union.

panda♥ · #**298** 2nd January 2011, 07:14 AM

it is kind of weird that they got married so quickly. i trust that Ayu would tell us if she was preg or something (even though Avex said she isn't), but if she isn't then i'm assuming they did everything quickly because she won't have much time to do it this year with touring and her hectic schedule.

kagami · #**299** 2nd January 2011, 07:34 AM

My hopes of marrying her have been dashed!!
Really though, I wish them all the happiness in the world, and I hope Mannie is someone Ayu can fully trust and rely on

elvesword · #**300** 2nd January 2011, 09:08 AM

They are registered so they are married, the next step is whether AYU and Mannie will hold a ceremony or not~~
