新人的结合永远是一件值得祝福的事情。
热心的邻居们凑齐的临时小乐团正在试音。万圣节前并可们已经装扮出的各式角色欢声笑语。聚餐的长条桌摆上鲜艳的花束和美味的餐点。山毛榉的枝桠间挂起的彩灯呼啦啦眨着眼。
临近婚礼的时候,五颜六色(啥)的宾客们越来越多。没有座位,大家热热闹闹的挤在平和岛家的庭院里。而新人的亲友们则带着威尼斯风格的简约面具做最后准备。
门田京平紧了紧好不容易系好的临界,站在临时搭好的小台子上有点紧张。
人不算多,场地也不大,所以没有麦克风。
平和岛幽穿着一身中世纪贵族风格的礼服静静地立在自己的位子上。这衣服与他领衔主演且刚刚热播结束的电影中苍野听的军装如出一辙,门田京平怀疑可能就是同一套。
银色的上半边面具遮住他本来就不多的表情,只是本身淡漠的气质却在这样欢快的氛围中变得温润柔软起来。
他身后的伴郎岸谷新罗倒是不安分的东张西望,是不是的看表,期盼着自家恋人惊艳的出场——虽然对让来说塞尔提无时无刻不惊艳就是了。
被搬到庭院里的摆钟敲响了下午五点的信号,嘈杂的人群也随着钟声安静下来。
风从纯金的山毛榉与山毛榉之间穿过,万籁俱静。
键盘手最先反应过来,开始演奏,曲目赫然是《捂住双耳不肯听》的主题曲《不朽》【注】,随后吉他手、贝斯手和鼓手也和了进来,最后是本来就晚两行的管弦乐组。
门田京平在对自己忘记说开场白的羞愧中不忘吐槽一下这对新人对他们饰演的电影的执着。因为他一眼就看到充当父亲角色的六条千景居然穿着浅仓赤亚的军装——被面具遮住眼睛,他那一头赤发绝对可以以假乱真——而扶着男孩子手臂出场的圣边琉璃穿的当然就是镜渊安眠的白色纱裙,前摆很短还未及膝,后摆却长长地拖到底上,被伴娘塞尔提牵起,千庄敛那反复的贵妇式礼帽正好可以为无头骑士打马虎眼。
于是相较之下,新郎这边一下子就显得寒碜许多。平和岛夫妇丝毫不以为意,穿着普通的正装笑眯眯的站在小儿子身边,看着一帮年轻人的万圣节COSPLAY——也许该说是本色出演?
“We are gathered here today……”
平和岛静雄站在观众的最前端,自己的好弟弟身侧,在欣喜与落寂的冲撞下有些呆滞的叼着烟,这个世界的喧闹此时离他很远。
“Who gives this woman to be married to this man?”
“My wife and I do.”
六条千景无视恋人抽搐的嘴角,笑嘻嘻的尽职尽责的演戏。
新郎从“父亲”手中接过新娘的手,缓缓的踏着拍子上前,停在“牧师”身前。
两人对视一眼,笑意不深不浅。
他们在神的祝福下交换誓言。司仪朗诵圣经的声音好像教堂里唱诗班的梵音。
“……for your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live? ”
“I do.”
金发青年抬眼,太阳偏西,视网膜被一层层刷上老照片般的旧黄色。
“So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
“Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, ‘this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman,for she was taken out of man.’”
他想起很多事,从小到大。也许人临死前的走马灯也不过如此。
“for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.”
