In the episode 18 of SAO II, there was a flashback of Asuna's trip to Kyoto.
In it, she's seen talking to some guys. She declines that this is an arranged
marriage, but there was no mention of who they were or what it was about.

Who were these people? Is this going to be significant to the story in any
way?

Please remember to use spoiler tags when necessary.
