Aired on September 3, 2006
23
Near the end of summer, Alicia and Akari guide an older couple celebrating their anniversary. The husband declines a visit to Piazza San Marco, asking his wife to meet him at the harbor later. Akari, Aika, and Alice encounter him arguing with a man refusing to rent a bucintoro boat for the Marriage of the Sea ceremony, which the mayor performs in Neo-Venezia. Akari offers her gondola as a substitute, and the trainees decorate it. Aika secures a volunteer band. Alicia, Akira, and Athena’s customers watch as the ceremony begins. Since the husband forgot the ring, they use one purchased by the wife that afternoon. The wife calls the recreation clumsy but thanks her husband, asking him to love her forever when it ends.
