Heh. "Noisy Cricket" style.

Knowing Sakuya, they would probably look like 18th-century opera glasses, but actually be modern rangefinding electrobinoculars. :)

This seems like it might be a fairly common practice in wartime witch weddings, although it's worth keeping in mind that this one will probably be taking place at night, which would tend to take the shine off the show a little.

Although, we haven't seen them do it so far in UF, but there's plenty of artwork showing one or both of the Scarlet sisters abroad in daylight without any harm. Usually they're at least shown doing the token-parasol thing, like Marceline, but not always. (My favorite joke take on this was a comic of Flan sunbathing on a beach, with RPG-style red and green numbers over her head indicating that she was taking 999 sun damage, but regenerating 1000 HP, per tick. :)

Supposedly, and I don't have a citation to back this up, but allegedly in the game lore they're capable of supersonic flight, which makes them a fair bit faster than everybody except Shirley (and Trude, I suppose, if she doesn't mind only getting one flight out of the Striker she's using) at the moment. I'm not sure what protects them (and their clothes) from wind damage at those speeds—presumably a Shut Up Man It's Fantasy magic aura. Shut Up Man It's Fantasy is the go-to explanation for anything that doesn't make physical sense in a Touhou game, after all. :)
