We are Officially Engaged

On a small table, two bottles of sake catch the light, and a handwritten note rests beside them like a keepsake you’ll want to fold carefully and save.

We are Officially Engaged.

It’s strange how a moment can feel both loud and quiet at the same time. Loud in the way it changes the shape of the future, quiet in the way the present keeps sitting there, steady, asking you to notice it. A simple table. A drink poured slowly. Ink on paper. The kind of details that become anchors later.

Tokyo has a way of making ordinary scenes feel cinematic. The city hums just beyond the room, and inside there’s this pocket of stillness where gratitude can finally land. This is what I want to remember: not just the announcement, but the tenderness of being cared for, the warmth of a shared toast, the soft weight of a new beginning settling in.

To everyone who has been cheering us on from near and far, thank you. We’re holding this close, taking it in, and letting it unfold one day at a time—together.
