Day 19 - Time for a Wedding

Who: Lan WangJi, Wei WuXian and anyone else who wants to attend!
Where: Garden carriage and then gym car
When: Day 19 of Egret
What: Wedding! Wedding reception and lots of food.
Warnings: Pretty much up in the air. But there will likely a lot of PDA's from the wedding couple during the reception... because that's how they roll

Finally, it was Day 19, the day that WangJi and WuXian had chosen for their wedding.

Ceremony
Inside the garden, everything had been decorated in red and gold, traditional colors for a wedding in China. There were flowers and a low table set up.

As the ceremony begins, Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian enter with Lan Sizhui and Wen Qing as their attendants. The wedding clothes for WangJi and WuXian are also red, with designs of forest animals in the designs sewn in, including frogs and rabbits. All of this was courtesy of their friendly neighborhood spider. WuXian was also wearing a red veil over his hair and face. Even WangJi’s ever-present forehead ribbon was red today instead of white.

As the pair approached the table, WuXian on one side and WangJi on the other, they alternated bowing to each other three times before kneeling. With the help of their attendants, they each drank a cup of tea, which they used their long sleeves as though hiding that they were doing so behind them. Once they had put the cups down, WangJi reached up, pushing the veil back so that he could see WuXian’s face before removing the forehead ribbon he’d been wearing. Taking WuXian’s hand, he used to make kind of a loose knot between their two wrists, a Gusu Lan symbol that WuXian was his fated partner. Then as they carefully stood, WangJi leaned in to kiss WuXian before they both bowed to their attendants, thanks for assisting them and being there for them.

Reception
Following the wedding ceremony itself, the party then moved to the gym car, where the reception and feast were being held. Like the decorations for the wedding, it was also a lot of red and gold. To those who didn’t know beforehand, it would likely be obvious that red and gold here very important.

Lots of food cooked by wonderful volunteers from the train. Of course, there had to be dessert, which was the cake baked by the couple’s son, Lan Sizhui.

As the wedding couple, they were rather happily seated together of course. WangJi had since replaced the forehead ribbon on his head, but there was a high likelihood that sometime during the party WuXian was going to end up wearing it around his wrist.

[ooc: Mingle post! Feel free to make your own top levels and tag around and have fun. Also, in the picture, ignore the hat for WangJi’s robes. He’s not wearing a hat]

Sometimes Ignis' humor was so subtle a hurricane like Tony just couldn't detect it. It didn't matter though, so long as they were both actively working on communicating, they'd get there.

Tony put a hand over Ignis' on his chest. He didn't take his eyes off the green pair looking back at him. He listened hearing the offer and the spirit it was being given. He smiled at that and reached out to brush his thumb along Ignis' cheek. "Would you be happy with a large one too? I don't want you to be doing it just for me. Though.. it would be nice to include everyone like this ceremony did."

He thought for a few moments on a timeline. He hadn't picked a specific date, but now as he looked at his fiance's face, he could see how much that was desperately wanted. "Can you get all your preparations done in a month?"

Tony's hand was warm on his but far more than that, there was reassurance. And with that feeling, the tension that had been in the advisor's shoulders lessened. The affectionate gesture with his cheek just made him melt inside and he smiled, speaking softly. "Yes of course it would be rather wonderful to have everyone there to share it with us, and I've..never been married before."

It was still a strange thought at times to even be entertaining the idea of getting married. "And we have to find Madoka the prettiest pink gown of course." He didn't want to lie to Tony because it wasn't a good foundation for a marriage. But the thought of seeing everyone else enjoy themselves would be a way he could deal with the rest. He of course knew very well of formalities and traditions and expectations. A big wedding would naturally be expected.

Ignis worked best with timelines and deadlines so he could do what he needed to. And with the month suggested, he looked hesitantly at his fiancee. "So you mean schedule it soon after the the next mission and arrivals?"

If that was so, they had work to do.
