I'm not so freaked out by the hello kitty aspect, but that the guy or gal (since Jamie could be a man's or a woman's name) is named after a malted milk drink. I'll bet you within ten years we will see a "Lexus" get married to a "Porsche", or some such thing.

I think I Horlicked in my mouth a little.
Why are they getting married in a train station? And why didn't I think of matching rickshaws for MY wedding, damnit?

I'm a Hello Kitty fanatic myself, but even I think having Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel* attend the wedding is bizarre, much less appear to be acting as Maid of Honor and Best Man.

what is amazing to me here is that this seems to be taking the ritual of pretending to get married as a child and perverting it, so that the bride is actually attending her own wedding as if it is a bizarre fantasy of her 8-year-old self, except that she's an adult. Seriously freaky.

Yeah, given the hotness disparity, he's either extremely rich, or he's gonna be putting up with this sort of folly for the rest of his natural born days -- and will be glad to do so.

The kind that thinks that morning coats are actually more dressy than formal wear. White tie with a morning coat? What's this world coming to?

Clearly nothing could be more romantic than building a life around a registered trademark of a large media company. I hope they raise a large family of healthy consumers.
This doesn't seem all that much worse than a Star Wars wedding.

Why is everyone assuming it's all her idea?
In fact, I think it almost takes a male to have that level of obsession, no matter what you may read on Hello Kitty Hell. Men get fanatic, weird even, about things. I'm guessing that no man would go through with this if he were not also a fan.
I can say this, because I know. I'm a 32 year old male, with a real job and a real life, and this is my room. I would totally do that, if I could find a woman who'd go along with it.
Except I'd be better at it. There wasn't enough Hello Kitty stuff there! And what, no bridesmaids? What about poor Mimmy, and Cathy, and My Melody? And I would totally make sure Dear Daniel and Tippy both got plenty to drink, because I'd love to see them fight it out over Kitty. I mean, what, Daniel's in Africa for maybe a week tops and she's already putting the moves on Tippy? Kitty, you're the sweetest little thing ever, but that's taking "you can never have too many friends" a little too far.

Seconding Dark Sasami. It didn't even occur to me that this could have been her idea unti I read the comments here. I only watched the first 30 seconds but he seemed far more excited about the proceedings than she was, but then that could be just because he's an uberdork gleeful with the prospect of getting a piece of that for the rest of his life.

I used to work for a couple with the last name of Horlick. Malted milk drink aside, when you think about it? It's really just not the best name.
