[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!)

It is. A gentleman must make sure a lady gets home safely.

[Probably more important in a world where ghosts and demons were fairly commonplace, but still...

He did indeed offer his arm to her as they started walking out]


I did. The wedding and the reception went well. Did you enjoy it?

[ that just gets her to smile softly — it's really so far from any sentiment that those in her world have, where rarely anyone would bother, and if they did, they'd likely have ulterior motives. ]

Mm, of course I did! It was a lovely ceremony, and the reception was a lot of fun. I've finally been to at least one successful wedding!

[ it doesn't take them long to her cottage, and outside the wooden gate that guards the garden, she stops and lets go of him. ]

Thank you! For walking me, and... [ what seems to be on impulse, being in such a good mood, she takes a step closer, leaning to peck him lightly on the cheek. ] ... for the nice date!

[ there's a lilt to her words, but she means it: she did have a nice time with him. ]
lotus_of_rage: (cql entirely too angelic)

[There were probably plenty in his world that would have not escorted a woman home, but any man that called himself a gentleman would have been willing to ensure she got home safely with no additional motives]

Yes, you have. They do seem to love each other very much.

[There's a wistful tone when he said that. Even though WuXian had not been a part of Yunmeng Jiang for quite some time, it was hard not to think back on the day that WuXian had promised to be his right-hand man when he was sect leader.

It didn't long to reach her cottage]


You're welcome. [A faint smile crossed his face] I had a nice time with you as well.

That's good!

[ the lilt in her voice remains as she says, ]

Then, the next time you need a date for an event... you know where to find me!

[ not that she wouldn't want to spend time with him outside of events, too. he really is very nice company. ]
lotus_of_rage: (cql watching)

You'll be the first one I call for another date.

[He said with a smile before nodding his head in a slight bow]

Have a good night.
