We then see Ryouga walking down a street holding a letter of invitation for the wedding ceremony. He's thinking to himself - he's setting off on a journey, and he hopes that Akane will be happy and he apologises to "Akari-chan" that his gift is not longer in a good enough condition to bring to her.
"Ucchan's" is closed for the day, and Ukyou is making okonomiyaki, and Konatsu is worried about her, and Ukyou is making special celebration modern yaki. Konatsu timidly asks "Ukyou-sama" if it is really okay, and Ukyou replies that she has been thinking for sometime that such a day would come, but the only thing she can do now is to make the okonomiyaki, and Konatsu thinks Ukyou is really strong willed.
The Neko-Hanten is also closed for the day, and Mousse is telling Shampoo that she should resign herself over Ranma, and that he has only ever looked at her. Shampoo has had her back to Mousse all this time, and she turns around with a smile on he face, and says that she understands, and asks him to help her make some celebration niku-man. Mousse ends up expressing his thanks that Shampoo finally understands him to Cologne, who asks Mousse where he is looking.
Back in Akane's room, they're both sitting on the floor and Ranma is fidgeting, and asks her why she is so meek with the wedding ceremony coming up, and Akane responds that it's because Ranma confessed his love for her. Ranma asks her what she's talking about. Akane says that it's because of what happened at Jusendo, and Ranma gets a bit dizzy. He then angrily replies that didn't say it, and Akane angrily counters that he almost said it. Akane then says that they don't have force themselves to have the wedding, but then warns Ranma that he'll be sorry if they don't, which rather surprises Ranma.
Nabiki, who is in a kimono like Kasumi, asks Souun why is he hiding a certain thing from Ranma: Souun has gotten a cask of Nannichuan from the Guide, and Souun's plan is that Ranma can't have the water until he's married Akane. Nabiki realises that this was how he persuaded Akane to agree to the marriage. Souun is then surprised when Genma puts his hand on Souun's shoulder, and says that he is surprised that Souun hid this from Genma until now, and Genma then runs off with the cask.
Ryouga comes through a wall (wondering where he is) and sends Genma and the cask flying. Mousse is annoyed at the disturbance, and wants Ranma and Akane to be married quickly before they change their minds, but then he and Ryouga spot the cask (which has 'Nannichuan' written on it). Ranma has heard about the Nannichuan from Akane, and dashes off, saying she should have told him earlier, and leaves Akane looking rather annoyed.
Then Ranma notices an okonomiyaki and some niku-man coming right at him, and they explode around him. It's Shampoo (in a form hugging outfit) and Ukyou (in a kimono), and Shampoo is upset that she missed her target - Akane, and Konatsu who is clinging to the ceiling is worried about Ukyou. Then Kodachi turns up om a black-rose wedding dress telling her 'husband' Ranma to hang on, and the other two are upset - Ukyou calls her an impudent b***h.
Then Kunou tries to slice Ranma with his sword (metal, not wooden), and says he hasn't given permission for the wedding, and he's holding a fan with 'reject' written on it. Ranma isn't interested in this at the moment. He then slips on a bucket of water, and gets splashed, and Kunou then asks 'osage no onna' to have a double wedding with her, and Akane.
Akane is angry because Nabiki sent out so many invitations, and things have been ruined. Nabiki shows Akane an envelope and explains it's because of this, and Kasumi realises it's because they'll get more gifts this way. Cultural note: it's customary to give money (in decorated envelopes) at weddings/funerals to the couple/deceased's relatives, and later some of this money is used to buy gifts for the guests to thank them for coming, and also to help pay for the occasion.
The other guys are fighting over the Nannichuan cask, and it begins to fall over, and just before Ranma can reach it, Happosai gulps it all down, thinking that it's special sake for the wedding. A bloated Happosai then smashes up the cask, and is upset that it was just plain water. Ranma is upset that everything was drunk, and together with Ryouga, Mousse and Genma try to make Happosai throw up the water - Ranma and Ryouga are pulling Happosai's mouth wide, Genma is holding Happosai's legs, and Mousse is poking a stick up Happosai's mouth. Happosai then uses his Happou Daikarin - *KA-BOOM*
Outside, Hinako-sensei and Ranma and Akane's classmates are all in formal dress, and Hinako is looking forward to the wedding feast. The others are a bit dubious about Ranma and Akane getting married, and Gosunkugi is sobbing, and carrying another of his straw dolls.
When they arrive they find that the doujou's a mess - Hinako is upset the cake's ruined, Kodachi is searching for "Ranma-sama", Kunou gets kicked in the face by Akane after saying he'll have a wedding with her, and Happosai's clinging to Akane's dress, laughing about his young bride, Mousse has mistaken Cologne for Shampoo again, Shampoo and Ukyou are worried about the unconscious Ranma, and Konatsu is stealthily hiding behind Ukyou's word-balloon, Ryouga's depressed, the panda's is rolling around on the floor, Kasumi is impressed at all the activity, and Souun is cursing his back luck.
Also, Nabiki is putting out her hand to Hiroshi (blond haired class-mate of Ranma) asking for money - ie the gift envelopes with money. Technically, this shouldn't goto Nabiki, so she's either just plain stealing it, or setting herself up as the manager of the wedding, and any profit would just happen to become hers - and Nabiki would probably give photos of Akane/female-Ranma to the guys, instead of buying proper gifts to save money.
Later, Souun is sitting down at the table with Ranma and Akane, smoking a cigarette, and in the background the panda's playing with a ball, and Kasumi's taking down the washing. He explains to them that they can't have a wedding now because of the mess from the last one, and Ranma and Akane each blame the other, but without much heat.
Cultural note: Before marrying, the couple clear all possible sources of trouble from after the marriage from their private life - relationships with boy/girlfriends, for example.
A literal translation of the narration at the end is:
For such reasons [for delaying the wedding], from now on the [game in the] future is on extended time. In other words, Ranma and Akane will marry when all the relationships involving them are (more or less) settled. We then see Ranma and Akane run off to school side by side: 'itte kima-su' "we're off--".
