Know you're truly a special person if he has decided to dedicate his entire life to you forever
It'll probably be several years of engagement before he proposes to you and, speaking of that, his proposal will be done in an absolutely traditional way: after having had the approval of his grandfather, he'll go to your parents to personally ask them for your hand; after their blessing, he'll take you on a date, which will end in the garden of his -and soon also yours- villa, where he'll kneel down, gently taking your hand and asking you to be his wife
Your wedding will also be totally traditional: he'll wear the typical male wedding attire while you'll wear a Shiromuku with a Wataboushi on your hair; the ritual will be the Shinzenshiki one, and it'll be quite limited and reserved
Your marital relationship will be... interesting: his work forces him to be away from home, so unfortunately you two will only see each other early in the morning and in the evening for dinner; furthermore, you'll have to accept his very rigid behavior towards you, since he isn't very good at showing his true feelings and the strong affection he has for you, and his great devotion to Miyo, probably even greater than the one he has for you. However, you must not think he doesn't love you: he loves you very much, and taking care of Miyo is only his duty as a member of the Usuba family
I think he doesn't want to have children but, if you do, he'll be willing to have one (or two, if you look at him with puppy eyes)
If you didn't know, the Shinzenshiki is the Shinto wedding ceremony.
It begins with a small procession led by the bride and groom and followed by their closest relatives that begins outside the shrine. The group passes the Torii (the portal of the Shinto Temple) bowing and then performs ablutions to purify themselves before the start of the ritual; it isn't uncommon for this small procession to be accompanied by traditional Gagaku Music.
Then, the spouses and relatives are accompanied by the priest inside the room containing the altar and the tabernacle of the deity and, once everyone has taken their seats, making sure the bride's relatives are all seated on the left and the groom's relatives on the right, the priest carries out another purification ritual by waving branches of Japanese camellia or garlands of paper.
After that, the prayer begins and, after some invocations to the gods, the spouses can exchange cups filled with Sake of various sizes three times. This gesture, called San-San-Kudo, is the most important moment of the ceremony because it symbolizes the couple's union. It's followed by the exchange of rings, the wedding oath and the offering of a ritual sprig for the deities by the spouses.
After a dance by the Miko priestesses (the young women who work at the Shinto Temples), the ceremony ends with a toast for all participants.
Instead, regarding traditional clothes, the groom wears a Hakama (a kimono with a sort of trousers also used in kendou) and a very elegant Haori overcoat, both in dark colours; the bride wears a totally white formal dress called Shiromuku, and her hair is styled in the Bunkin Takashimada style, and on which two different types of white fabric headdresses can be found: the Tsunokakushi (the traditional Japanese headdress, consisting of a rectangular piece of white silk, which encircles the bride's head, traditionally worn to hide the horns of the bride's jealousy, as well as dampening her ego and selfishness, and which also symbolizes the bride's determination to become a sweet and obedient wife) or the Wataboushi (a sort of large and puffy hood, which covers the bride's head and hides the Tsunokakushi, usually made of white silk).

Thank you so much for writing the head cannons for Arata u. If I could make a final request could it be about the pregnancy, birth, or him being a parent. That would make my day. Thank you so very much

As I wrote in the previous post, he wouldn't have wanted to have children because, having grown up only with the aim of taking care of Miyo, he doesn't consider himself capable of being a good father, but he'll be convinced by you to have at least one, so, about a year after the wedding, you'll be pregnant
Due to his work, unfortunately, he won't be with you all the time during the first few months; however, he'll always be at home, except for urgent meetings or errands, during the eighth and ninth months of pregnancy. During those, he'll take very good care of you, even if sometimes it'll seem like he's suffocating you: in fact, you won't be allowed to go out without him, to do the houseworks you used to do, not even to get out of bed if you tell him you've pains
Your birth will be very difficult: first, you'll go into labor when he's in a meeting with the emperor, so you'll have no one to go calling your midwife; your birth will be helped by the older maids, who have already given birth, at the Usuba villa, and only when the baby is about to be born he'll arrive; moreover, to top it all will be the fact you'll have not one, but two children!
Yes, you two will have two adorable twins, a boy and a girl (imagine his face when he finds himself holding two little bundles in his arms): the girl will be a female copy of Arata, while the boy will have his eyes, but the rest of his face the same as you
As a father, he'll be tender and sweet, but at the same time also rigid: he'll try to make sure his children don't grow up like him, with only one purpose in life, but he'll also attempt to put limits and rules on them, so they don't become spoiled. When they grow up, he'll teach them to control their powers, if they've any, and sometimes he'll take them to his work with him
