Aerith and Tifa Featured in Bridal Celebration in Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade
Every June 1st, in Okinawa, Japan there’s a tradition to celebrate upcoming brides for the month of June. Believe it or not, this tradition is actually a hybrid from the Roman times. Romans would have a festival in “honor” of June, a Goddess who is “married” to Jupiter as well as the Goddess of marriage and childbirth. This caused many brides to marry in the month of June, thus coming to the tradition of celebrating brides and weddings. June has been the month of warmer weather, flowers in full bloom, and the start of summer activities, so why not get married in June?
Flowers are a unison detail in this tradition. For Romans, they threw flower petal. Japan has a sacred tradition that the flowers at the wedding are given to the parents to show gratitude and to thank them for their support.
Years later, many countries/ cities started taking part in this tradition, and have their own adaptions, including the United States who is full on Bridal magazines in stores.
It’s not the first time FF Airbrone Brigade has taken part in this tradition of celebrating. Rinoa was featured at one time with a groom that wasn’t Squall.
Yuna was once featured but no details could be found online of her wedding to it’s unknown if the groom for her event was Tidus.
However, Cloud was the groom for this event, and his card is the rarest out of the three, with Tifa being the second rarest, and Aerith coming in at third for her card. Cloud and Aerith start off the event, but it ends with a special event for Tifa. In the beginning of the event, Cloud is shown kneeling with petals around him, then the screen fades to Aerith showing she’s a excited. It’s important to note that during these events, none of them are shown together on screen at the same time.
The event included Aerith tossing her bouquet into the sky. Her bouquet can be won and it has a special ability.
As you can see, Aerith is sporting a traditional, ball gown, ivory, lace, full neck wedding grown with lace sleeves. Her veil is a headband with flowers on it. They even tied in a ribbon for both the top and bottom of the ponytail. Aerith shares a movie with Cloud, but it is unknown what is going on in that movie.
Tifa is wearing a modern, knee length wedding dress with a silver waist band with silver flowers on it; tied with a ribbon. Her veil is a classic vintage veil with a white hair band to match the wedding theme. It has been noted by many players that Cloud and Tifa’s color scheme do match, but who Cloud belongs to was not stated by Airborne Brigade, so it’s safe to assume Cloud didn’t marry “either” woman.
Tifa’s weapon is a cake and in her event she can win Cloud’s wedding knife.
We hope you enjoy this tid bit of info, and enjoy two of Final Fantasy’s beloved Heroines wedding feature! Both ladies look stunning, and Cloud looks handsome in white. If you’re bride getting in the month of June, let us know, and tell us what flavor your cake is going to be!
