[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!)

[Xichen isn't sure where he belongs anymore, even though he still loves his family as much as he always has and the connections keep growing. He is still figuring out how he fits into the strange tangle of people from home, pulled together by feelings that he has no control over and by loyalty he refuses to abandon. Wangji's voice, simple and clear, pulls his gaze up with the same hope and trepidation echoing back in it.]

Can I?

[He's almost holding his breath, or maybe just forgetting to breathe. The tension since their first big conflict still weighs on his heart. Even though they are mending, the fear is there, and Xichen doesn't want to wound or lose his brother. Wangji is someone he can't give up.]

( it stings. lan xichen’s inner turmoil is plain as day, in regards to… many things, some of which lan wangji couldn’t possibly fathom. but if there’s one thing he shouldn’t be concerned about, it’s everything that’s always united them, no matter how tense. lan wangji’s affections aren’t so easily quashed. anger, confusion, helplessness. it doesn’t matter, the whirlpool of emotions he can go through; it’ll never be enough to eclipse all the things that beat in the core of his heart.

it’s his fault, to an extent. he knows he’s driven him to a point where he has to ask, and lan wangji’s gaze dims regretful, brows pinched a little sad. )
Xiōngzhǎng. ( he gives his arm a squeeze, the man who never failed him, when nobody else was there for him. not even his own father. ) Forgive me. ( lashes flutter low, gaze wavering down, though it endures, fixed on lan xichen’s, a little strained. ) I never intended to make you believe that you are anything less than my brother.

[If he could choose without question one path or the other, it would certainly be easier. Whether he renounced all connections with Jin Guangyao or gave himself over completely to what he knew now was a darker and more sordid history, at least if he chose a single road to walk he would be committed to it and no longer be quite as torn. But Lan Xichen can't choose to let go of either his good or his shadowy past, caring equally for both in their own ways and trapping himself between his beloved brother and friends and the man that had ruined them all.]

You have done nothing that needs forgiveness, Wangji. I am no longer worthy of standing in the sect. But I love you, and I could not be more grateful to have the chance to know that you are happy.

[His hesitation melts into something warm and open as he speaks, stepping forward a little so he can rest his hand on Lan Wangji's shoulder.]

Whether or not I can carry our family's name, nothing will ever keep me from being your brother. I will always support you. I hope that this will be proof of my heart.
