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!)

What... in heaven are you talking about? [ Sure, he knows Jin Guangyao isn't exactly the most likable person. His simpering need to insert himself anywhere that important goings on are happening and his overly polite smile which doesn't reach his eyes both annoy and unsettle Jin Zixuan. But Wei Wuxian also annoys and unsettles Jin Zixuan, and you don't see him making thinly veiled threats of violence! ]
He greeted us upon our entry to this world. Said something about how he was attempting to create a new life for himself here. I really don't see what the problem is.
no subject
[he still can't resist a snort with the words. the past can't be changed, and sometimes it's better to just leave it there. it's that attitude that keeps jin guangyao far from his thoughts most days. but he only died, he didn't suffer the way his husband did for all those years. lan zhan is much less forgiving.
right now, he sees the confusion in another jin's eyes, and sighs at the prospect of explaining it all.]
Jin Zixuan, a lot happened after that day. I died not long after, but I was eventually summoned back. While I was gone, many others had died- your father and Chifeng-zun included. Jin Guangyao was the leader of your Sect, and Chief Cultivator too. [all surprising news to be sure. but not the worst of it. he takes one more drink before setting his gaze on the other man.] Your brother must be a good swimmer. Otherwise he could've drowned in all the blood he spilled to get there.
no subject
The implication here is that it is not a coincidence. Not mere luck or blessed turns of fate which led Jin Guangyao to rise through the ranks of the Lanling Jin sect. Of course, with Jin Zixuan gone, and their father dead... Of course Jin Guangyao would be the only other option for sect leader. But to think that he orchestrated events... Killed his own father and brother...?
It's too much. Maybe it's the truth, or maybe it's Wei Wuxian spinning stories like people say he is wont to do. Either way, it's too much for Jin Zixuan to hear right now.
He shoves the jar of alcohol back into Wei Wuxian's hands, and stands up, smoothing his robes back into perfect straightness. ]
I think I've heard enough. If you're done leveling accusations at my half brother, then I'll go back to setting up for your wedding now.
no subject
[there's a note of acceptance in wei wuxian's voice. jin zixuan is from their world, and from before the truth was revealed - he knows that no one still wanted much to do with him even after it all came out. of course he wouldn't be believed.]
Ask Lan Zhan - just not today. Ask Jiang Cheng, hell, ask Zewu-jun. [jin guangyao's bonded and...more. however sympathetic lan zhan's brother is towards the man, wei wuxian still trusts that he wouldn't lie about the events that took place.]
I should get ready too.
[he sighs and stands. despite the unpleasantness, he hopes to have a happy day and finally marry lan wangji. but there's one last thing he wants his brother-in-law to know.]
That day on Qiongqi Path, there was a second flute. It wasn't me. Not you.
[wei wuxian made other trouble there, but he wasn't the one who took his sister's husband away. he didn't kill his nephew's father.]
Thanks for your help today.
no subject
It's not an issue of not believing you. [ He knows Wei Wuxian isn't lying. No alarm bells are ringing in his head, therefore he knows this is the truth, or at least part of it.
He doesn't know what he means about the flute, but he supposes that's yet another question about the future to put aside for a later time.
He takes a deep breath, deciding not to push the issue any further. ]
I wish the both of you a blissful union.
[ And he jumps down to the ground. ]
