Who: lan wangji, wei wuxian, family, friends, anyone looking for free food and booze, and you
When: july 31st
Where: wangxian cottage yard
What: a wedding~
Warnings: will add if needed.

[pre-ceremony]

[the day's finally come, bright and auspicious according to the fortune-teller. betrothal gifts have been exchanged earlier in the month, and now the back yard attached to the wangxian cottage has been transformed from a place of peaceful seclusion to one meant for celebration and receiving guests.

but there is still plenty to do for anyone who volunteered to show up early and help: tables that need to be moved into place, chairs that need to be set up. the couple's winged bunnies will be there to assist, nibbling on red and gold cards or flying through the air with streaming pale blue and bright red ribbons to be attached to things.

there's also boxes of noisemakers to be placed on the table - small drums and flutes and party poppers, all for chasing away bad luck. there's even a few small fireworks, just in case any lingering summer pixies are looking for something to set on fire.]

[ceremony]

[the reason for the day. it's rare to see wei wuxian and lan wangji out of their usual colors, but no one can deny that they look good in red. lan wanji in red robes and a red forehead ribbon, wei wuxian in red robes and a red veil, long black ears poking through. the ceremony itself consists of various little rituals. they make their bows - to heaven and to earth, to their parents, and to each other. finally, each cuts a lock of his own hair and knots them together, sealing them up in a little pouch. the two of them have been one for awhile now, but now it's official. now no one can say otherwise.

all of this is done in front of hiccup - chief hiccup, overseeing all of the rituals that wei wuxian explained to him and adding even more legitimacy to the union.

it ends on a less solemn note, with the two exchanging smiles and laughter, and wei wuxian predictively jumping into his new husband's arms.]

[games]

[considering whose wedding it is...a puca's wedding, naturally games should be expected. guests are invited to initiate and share their own favorites, so let aefenglom's limbo champion be decided here and now.

there are drinking games and dice games, and one somewhat dangerous game that involves a blindfolded wei wuxian receiving kisses on the cheek from various guests, and "attempting" to guess which kiss came from his husband.

music and dancing are equally welcome, so pull your date close or get to know someone new.]

[banquet]

[the feast begins, and if both grooms seem to be missing by this point, well, that just leaves more food for the guests! red remains a common theme in dishes, along with roast pork and fish. there are soups, with the pork rib and lotus root having its own place of honor. it goes without saying that jiang yanli's cooking is the best, and therefore the first to disappear from the tables.

there's also plenty of vegetarian dishes and desserts, tea and alcohol in equal measure. eat, drink and be merry well into the night. the noise just might cover up a pair of very happy newlyweds.]

(ooc: this is an open catch-all log for lan wangji and wei wuxian's wedding, which the latter publically invited every mirrorbound to. feel free to top level and tag around! tagging the grooms not required, just have fun!)

[Because magitek?]

It's from home! I got the Coven to help me make it work here, though. Wanna see some of the photos I've already taken?

[ He nods, because yes, he would like to see some photos from this new, improved device. If it is supposed to be so much better than the watches' camera, he would like to see the evidence of that. ]

[Prompto turns the camera so the guy (he's...pretty sure he's related to Wuxian??) can see the viewfinder screen and he scrolls to some of the photos of the wedding party.]

See, I can get photos in color and higher quality than the watches, though some of the quality gets lost when I get 'em off the camera.

[ WOW, he's not RELATED to WEI WUXIAN through anything but MARRIAGE, thank you very much. But, he is fascinated by the tiny screen on this device and leans in, watching the crystal clear images scroll by.

He puts a hand on Prompto's arm to stop him scrolling when he lands on a photo of Wei Wuxian standing with his siblings, looking happy. Really, he only has eyes for Jiang Yanli and her bright smile, but having Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian also in the shot doesn't ruin it for him, either. ]

That one... Are you able to send me that image? I would like to keep it.

Sure! I can get a frame for it too, if you want to hang it on a wall.

[That's a good one, too.]

[ He would love to hang that photo on the wall of the house they now call home... But maybe, for once, he decides to be nice to Wei Wuxian, on this the day of his wedding, and asks, ]

Would it be asking too much for two copies? I will reimburse you for the frames. I think Wei Wuxian would enjoy having a framed copy of that as well.

[Wuxian is so lucky, having family that cares like this.]

Totally. I can get them to you in a few days, after I get the album for Lan Wanji and Wei Wuxian together, if that's cool?

[ He allows himself a small smile, just picturing how happy his wife will be to see a framed photo of herself and her siblings, looking happier than they have been in years. ]

Thank you. You can deliver it to me at my residence. [ He gives the address of one of the classier houses in the center of the Haven, where he's made a home with his wife, son, and brother-in-law. ]

[Excuse Prompto, he's writing that down on a napkin.]

Got it. [Okay, name, name, this was...] Jin...Zixuan, right?

[Please tell him he said that right, he's trying but he's heard so many names today.]

That is correct. Jin Zixuan, of the Lanling Jin sect.

[ Not that his sect affiliation matters all that much when there are only three members of Lanling Jin present in this world. And Jin Guangyao only counts for half.

But no matter, that's how he's used to introducing himself, so that's how he will continue to do so. ]

And your name is?

[Let's be real, letting him count for half is being nice.]

Prompto Argentum! I run Argentum Photos and Insomniac Delivery.

[ If someone would finally tell Jin Zixuan all the details of Jin Guangyao's schemes, and the truth of everything that happened after his death, he wouldn't give him so much as a quarter. But alas, for now he remains in the dark. ]

In...somniac Delivery? Is that some sort of late night courier service?

No, but damn maybe I shoulda gone with that. The city I'm from, back home, is named Insomnia.

That's a rather... interesting name for a city.

[ But then, his own world had Nightless City in Qishan so who is he to judge? ]

Yeah, I think it was a tourism gimmick. "Come to Insomnia, the city that never sleeps!" or something.

[Anyway.]

So you want two copies, both framed?

Hm. [ He doesn't really understand the concept of "tourism," but he'll let that slide in favor of answering Prompto's question. ]

Yes, if you can. As I said, I will reimburse you for the costs.
