[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!)

( lan wangji’s face has finally broken. his joy is etched in jade, the corners of his lips permanently softened, a smile that blooms wider every time he looks in one particular direction. it’s a rare sight to be sure, at least in public, but restraint, today, is unwelcome. even surrounded by strangers, lan wangji sets his heart free, a private man who gives himself whole, holding himself accountable for the happiness of wei wuxian; sharing his life with him is an honor he doesn’t know whether he truly deserves, but vows to cherish and uphold for as long as he breathes. and beyond.

if anyone manages to catch his attention long enough for a conversation, lan wangji can sometimes be found near the tall gingko tree in the middle of the yard, tending to his bunnies. he’ll also be playing the guqin for their guests, if requested, and will sometimes stand near the banquet table or sit, nibbling on food, or drinking tea. mostly he’ll be by wei wuxian’s side, but it’s entirely possible to catch a moment alone with him; just don’t try to kiss his cheek or give him alcohol.....

...........unless?? )

OTA + photos!

Pre-Ceremony

[Prompto is busy with the pre-ceremony stuff, as he's the photographer and he's got to get space set up for the photos while also not getting in the way of other people. At some point, he calls out:]

If you're in the wedding party, can I get you over here? I need photos of everyone before we start!

[He will also, at some point, slip away to go put his gifts near where the grooms'll be seated later.

Surely a bottle of very, very nice wine will be appreciated, yeah? As will a voucher for a couples' photo shoot?]


Games and Food and Photos

[Most of the time, Prompto will be standing with his camera ready, taking photos of anyone who's willing to pay a little or of the party itself.

At some point though, he gets talked into having some fun, so he can be found...honestly at the food, for the most part, since he doesn't like to dance by himself and playing "Kiss Wuxian and See if He Knows Who Did It" seems like a bad idea. Maybe you can talk him into playing something?]


Wildcard

[Come at me! Make Prompto dance, bother him for photos, whatever!]

[A. Pre-Ceremony]

[SHe wonders if it’s possible for her to be this anxious for other people. If it was Yae’s wedding, she suspects she would be going out of her Mind while Yae sat with the the demure grace and calmness Sae knew her for.

And though this isn’t Yae’s wedding, Sae is going out of her mind wanting to make sure everything’s perfect. Wei Wuxian’s done a lot for her, after all, so she wants to return some of the favor there.

So she’s running to and fro, hardly taking the chance to rest for longer than a few seconds. She’s trying to tie some streamers at an area above the doorway, balancing precariously on a chair and reaching as high as she can...

Yeah it doesn’t go well. She leans too far and there’s a ripping noise of these treaters followed by a high-pitched yelp as she plummets. RIP.
]

[B. Post-Ceremony]

[Nervous, Sae keeps her eyes downcast as she wrings her hands before she sets them on the koto to play as background music for everyone. She’s been practicing for hours ever since she got the idea to do it—Yae, she insisted, had always been better than her at music, but Sae had enjoyed it. And she enjoys playing now, even if her entire body seems to radiate with nervous energy the entire time.

But in the end she seems quite pleased when the notes taper off and she heaves a breath, sinking back in her seat to relax.
]

[C. Fun & Games]

[She has no idea how to play most of these games, but she likes watching others play and have fun. She seems content to linger on the edges and observe, not wanting to make a fool of herself by attempting something when she has no idea what to do.

Still, it makes her giggle, commenting pleasantly to whoever’s near-by
] Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves... Wuxian-nii and Wangji-nii will be happy. It all looks like fun.

[D. Banquet]

[It’s definitely not her job to do so, but Sae’s been once again running around like a chicken with its head cut off, making sure everyone’s drinks are refilled and that everyone’s gotten food.

She looks a little pale, her smile a bit strained as she approaches people.
]

Did you get enough? If you want a refill of something, I could get it for you?

[...Has Sae even bothered to get anything to eat this whole time?? Debatable.]

[ jiang yanli had, she'd decided, two roles in the festivities. first, to be present and visible. second, to ensure that the banquet goes as smoothly as she can facilitate. both of those are easy enough, but she manages to take a moment between ferrying trays around to find lan wangji by the main table in one of his forays back for tea. ]

A-Zhan, one moment..! I would have left it with the other gifts, but... [ the stitch-bound book she pulls from her skirt pocket is obviously newly-made, the covers a pale, uneven blue. handwritten in a neat, flowing hand is the phrase With love water is enough; without love food doesn't satisfy and a somewhat awkwardly drawn nine-petal lotus amidst clouds. the pages are cramped with ingredients and instructions, including little sketches and notes where parts might need to be substituted for the sake of a puca's stomach. ]

It doesn't look like much, I'm afraid, but it has all the recipes I could recall.

Banquet

[personal profile] rootstalks 2020-08-01 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[As one harried server to another, Jiang Yanli is at least keeping an eye on Sae. So on the other girl's third lap of the room, she tries to get her attention, two plates lightly filled with snacks and small bowls of soup in her hands.]

A-Sae, would you eat with me?

[ The ceremony is small. Simple. They follow tradition, but without all the pomp and circumstance (and fuss) of any major cultivation sect wedding that Jin Zixuan would expect to attend. But then, he supposes, cultivation sects don't count for much here, do they? In the end, the simple wedding is... nice. Peaceful. Like hell will he ever admit it to Wei Wuxian, but he's secretly a little jealous that his own wedding wasn't this simple.

At some point during the celebration, Wei Wuxian steals Jiang Yanli away for a dance with his shijie, and Jin Zixuan, cup of wine in hand, goes to sit by Lan Wangji at the head table. There's an awkward lingering silence for a long minute-- Jin Zixuan has never quite known how to behave around someone so austere as Lan Wangji-- but finally, he clears his throat, takes a sip of wine, and manages to say: ]


Well. Welcome to the family.

[ Jin Zixuan has been roped into helping set up for this blessed affair, because of course he has, so while Wei Wuxian relaxes on the roof with his alcohol, Jin Zixuan is busy lugging around tables and setting up chairs. He stops, huffing, and squints up at Wei Wuxian's silhouette, framed by morning sunlight. ]

Not if you want me to actually set up for this wedding, I won't!

[personal profile] disasterstraight 2020-08-01 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Jin Zixuan had noticed the blond man using some decide or other throughout the festivities. The concept of photography is still new to him. He's lucky to have figured out the camera function on his watch. So, curious, after the food has been served, while the rest of the guests are entertaining themselves with some game or other, he decides to stride up to the man with the strange device and see what was what. ]

That machine... [ He points to the camera, warily. ] It captures images, like the watches do?
disasterstraight: (leave me alone; i'm gardening)

[ Jin Zixuan has also agreed to help decorate the yard (despite his protests to the contrary), so thankfully he's near enough to catch Saw as she falls, saving her a nasty bump on the head. He's not as strong as he used to be, without his golden core, but he's strong enough to hold up the waif like girl. Setting her gently back on her feet, he admonishes, ] You really should be more careful.

[ somehow his mother gently nudged him into helping, so he's helping, okay? even if that means he's grumbling about it on the inside. whatever small tasks is available. but he does take a break as Wei Wuxian calls down, and frowns at him. ]

I'm pretty sure having a drink, especially with you is a bad idea. Why are you drinking before it's even started?

[ not to mention he's never had alcohol, but that's besides the point. ]

[ he's been roped into helping like the rest of this family, and while he's not exactly a whiz at decorating, and definitely a young master in his attitude towards this, he is helping.

he's carrying a box of streamers and walks past behind her just in time for her to fall onto him, box and streamers going everywhere as he yelps in surprise and crashes face-first into the grass. ]


Ah— hey!

[ at least he's a good cushion, and he did break the fall? ]
clickclickbang: (Technophile)

[personal profile] clickclickbang 2020-08-01 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[He's used to this by now, so Prompto just sort of holds the camera up to gesture.]

Only in way better quality and in different colors.
disasterstraight: (I. WILL. HAVE. PUPPIES.)

[personal profile] disasterstraight 2020-08-02 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ He can't help but lean forward, curiosity piqued. ]

Instantly, still? Does it capture motion as well?
clickclickbang: (Yeah!)

[personal profile] clickclickbang 2020-08-02 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Some can take video, but not this one. I couldn't afford one that did both and came with all the waterproof/fireproof/everythingproof extras I needed. Stills work just as well.
disasterstraight: (please set yourself on fire)

[personal profile] disasterstraight 2020-08-02 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ He looks surprised. ]

This is fireproof?

[ That's far more impressive than being waterproof, to someone who hasn't yet learned that electronics and water don't mix. ]

[Sae pauses in surprise, looking immediately attentive when Yanli grabs her attention.]

What— Oh. I don’t— [Her stomach grumbles in protest of the beginning of her polite refusal and she winces sheepishly.]

...Yes, ma’am. [Sae obediently moves to her side to take some of the load from her hands] I’m sorry... I didn’t really notice how much time had passed, I guess.
shinkunochou: (019)

[personal profile] shinkunochou 2020-08-02 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[She fully expects to be feeling pain here, but shockingly none comes. It takes her another second or two to open her eyes again and realize she’s been caught, and she blushes as Zixuan gets her upright again and scolds her.]

Sorry... I thought I could reach. You’re not hurt, are you? [She seems genuinely concerned that catching her might’ve hurt him, despite the fact she weighs like, nothing.]
shinkunochou: (026)

[personal profile] shinkunochou 2020-08-02 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oof! [Huh. Slightly less painful fall than she expected. Kinda... squishy? Hm. Weird.]

—Oh! I’m so sorry! [She hurriedly rolls off of him, sitting on her knees next to him, hands hovering as she tries to assess the damage.] Are you alright? Ah, here, let me help— [She begins trying to help him sit up, brushing at his clothes to get dirt off of them.]

[ His bones aren't so brittle just yet. He shakes his head, frowning and checking her over. ]

No, no. I'm more concerned about you.

[ he doesn't protest the help back up but he pushes her hands away from brushing him off, and turns to look at her, about to tell her off, but he snaps it shut as he sees who it is and just... lets out a huff instead. he promised Wei Wuxian he'd be nice. he can be nice! ]

What th— [ wait no abort. ] What are you doing?
disasterstraight: (who beat my top score in candy crush?)

[ Okay, now he's impressed. And wondering why you would develop fireproofing technology that can withstand a volcano and use it for something like a camera instead of, say, armor. If they had had lavaproof armor during the Sunshot Campaign, the siege of Nightless City would have gone much smoother. ]

Is this device something you brought with you from your world? Or did you get it here?
shinkunochou: (011)

[personal profile] shinkunochou 2020-08-02 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking more embarrassed, Sae quickly shakes her head.] No, I’m alright, really! I don’t think I even have a bruise.

[She takes a breath and looks around, shaking her head a little.] It feels like there’s still so much to be done...
