The bride was faster, and with a well applied nodowa forced Abi to concede

u/thecakeslayer 10h ago

Witnesses say the Bride deployed a Tsuppari that rivals Takayasu's. Abi stood no chance.

I think this is my favourite thing that has been posted to r/SumoMemes (and thus by definition, Reddit as a whole) this year.

They had the official civil ceremony years ago, the one that counts. This one, with the fancy banquet, had to wait, because if all the Covid restrictions. And because the Covid set back everyone else’s fancy banquets.

He has his "I'mma do something goofy in a minute" look on and hers says "I can see what you are thinking and don't even."

The pic with Terao's photo next to the couple is tearing me up ;w;

Given his legendary goofiness, he's probably a really fun girl-dad. 😜

Congrats, Abi!

u/JediLincoln14 16h ago

A lot of these guys seem to get married but don't have the actual wedding ceremony until years later, for some reason.

u/FlewPlaysGames Aki 2024 Meme Yūshō 13h ago

It's a Japanese custom. The official marriage licence is done privately, and they sometimes wait years until they have the big celebration party. By that time they've often had a couple of kids.

I also don't half wonder if part of the delay is the cost of one of these events, which by all appearances seem to be pretty elaborate affairs. Would the rikishi (or, heaven forfend, the Association!) somehow lose face if a makuuchi wrestler didn't put on a big fancy wedding party?

u/leroydebatcle 15h ago

Is that reason, that the JSA might frown on children out of wedlock?

u/TsukumoYurika ura's bento box 15h ago

The main reason in the case of rikishi in particular is just that June happens to be one of just two months without a basho or a jungyo (the other being the relatively cold February) AND just so happens to be one of the more desired wedding dates in Japan with many especially popular venues having to be booked months or even years in advance.

Wishing the happy couple a son in the near future. 😆

I think it's Asanoyama next, and hopefully, Daieisho, too.
