[open]
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!)

no subject
[He feels like he's walking a weird line. He's made himself unlikeable back home so even though they had agreed to the wedding as a couple, he didn't want to seem overbearing]
no subject
[ ....... ]
Jiang-xiong - Sect Leader Jiang - I mean you no offense, so forgive your old classmate's curiosity, but...have you ever led someone in a dance like this, before?
no subject
Also, ignore how stubbornly quiet he is for a few long moments at being asked this question]
No, I have not.
no subject
a hint of amusement turns the corners of his mouth up, and he glances up at jiang cheng, sly. ] Would you like to?
no subject
He raised his eyebrow at that] You are going to teach me?
no subject
[ mean!!!!!!!! ] I had to study all the gentlemanly arts too, you know! It's not always just swinging a sword around....!
no subject
Yes, yes, I know; Stop making a scene! Fine. Teach me.
no subject
huaisang's complaining ends pretty much immediately. he gives jiang cheng a smile, closes his fan, and offers his hands to take him out onto the dance floor. it's not like they've had time for parties, recently. ]
I can lead you first, if you'd like, and then we can switch. It's not too hard, once you get started. [ laughing a little, he adjusts so he can put a hand on sect leader jiang's waist. ] I never thought I'd see the day where I would be teaching you something, Jiang-xiong.
no subject
He took HuaiSang's hand, being led out onto the dance floor]
I wasn't sure if I'd see it either. You lead.
[Since he doesn't really know what he's doing]
no subject
[ the likelihood of him messing this up is pretty slim, actually.
anyway. finding a decent spot without too many people around, nie huaisang keeps his hand in jiang cheng's, and sets his other hand on his waist. his voice is soft, a little playful. ] Put your hand on my shoulder, and we'll step together.
[ once he has, huaisang takes three easy steps, leading him to the music that's gently playing. ]
no subject
He followed HuaiSang over to that spot on the floor. He watched as HuaiSang put his hand on his waist before moving to put his hand on his shoulder]
Alright...
[And he did as HuaiSang instructed, quite obviously looking down to make sure he was doing the steps correctly]
