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!)

I think... It'd be nice to do a job I enjoy, because I want to, not just out of duty...
[She trails off before giving him a smile, quiet and sad.] I think it's really wonderful. But it can be a lot of pressure, huh? Especially if you're the heir like that. It's like everyone's eyes are on you... If you stumble, if you mess up, they'll know. And it can be another weapon against you.
But trying to be perfect all the time is exhausting too... [She trails off and then looks down at the ground, shaking her head.] ...Sorry, maybe I'm just...what's the word? Projecting? It might not be like that at all.
no subject
What are you sorry for? It's not like you're speaking lies. [ he pauses for a second, purses his lips at the ground. everything she says resonates with him but he's having such a hard time admitting to it outright. ] It's true that everyone is scrutinizing everything you do. I already know that. But I'm not going to trip up and let them take advantage of it.
no subject
[Which makes her sound kind of pathetic, now that she thinks about it. Oh well.]
But at least you have a little more freedom here too. You don't have to be a sect leader here, you can be whatever you want, right?
no subject
[ he finds he really doesn't, so this is what it's like finding someone agreeable to talk to? ... like Sizhui, perhaps.
he almost sags his shoulders at that, but bites his lips and then nods curtly. ]
I guess. I can't just ignore it all the time, I still have to be prepared for it.
no subject
That's what I'm looking forward to in this place-- getting to do and learn all the things I never would've been able to before. We could learn together, it might be fun?
[She looks a little hopeful]
no subject
... if you insist, I guess I can do that.
