Day 19 - Time for a Wedding

[achickenformylove]

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.

"Oh, I don't know." Curufin grins. "The man with the radioactive brain! You'd be famous."

[stealsyourheart]

He pulls a face.

"The wrong kind of famous, maybe!"

[so_dark_a_road]

"Just as long as you didn't cause a nuclear explosion on the Voidtrecker." Yet another grin.

[stealsyourheart]

He shudders, a shadow crossing his face - every child of Japan knows the story of the Bomb, and despite their use of nuclear power, the drills for rapid evacuation are drilled in.

"Yeah. Let's... not."

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin doesn't know the story of the Bomb, or he wouldn't have made a joke about nuclear explosions. But he does perceive that Kaito's joy has been shadowed by something.

"We'll skip it, for sure," he says, softly.

[stealsyourheart]

Shadow, what shadow?

Kaito grins at him. "Should find something else that glows."

[so_dark_a_road]

Nah, no shadow. Of course not!

"How about. . . an incandescent light bulb?" Curufin grins back.

[stealsyourheart]

"Might work. But have you ever seen a glo-stick?"

[so_dark_a_road]

"Yes, I have." He mimes waving one around while dancing. "You think your brain is lit up like a glo-stick?"

[stealsyourheart]

He chuckles.

"Why not, right? Neon colors are always cool."

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin laughs along with him. "Kaito Kuroba, the man with the neon brain! Think tanks all over the world are going to be lining up to hire you. For your radiant intelligence."

[stealsyourheart]

"I will be the main attraction at raves!"

[so_dark_a_road]

"And after the band plays so loud that they blow the house circuit breakers, you'll provide the lighting!!" He mimes banging away at an electric guitar and then looking around with dismay at the absence of laser lights, and then blinking with surprise and delight as Kaito's brain sends beams of colored light onto the stage and dance floor.

[stealsyourheart]

Kaito laughs. "I like your imagination, Curufin-san!"

Good place to wrap?

[so_dark_a_road]

"That's music to my ears," replies Curufin, snorting with laughter.

yus

[stealsyourheart]

"I pity your ears then!" Kaito laughs
