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]

What a wonderful idea!

[ And not just because Bryn gets party food out of it. Well, not primarily, at least. ]

I'm not a particularly skilled cook but I'm certain I could make myself useful with moving things around and getting things set up! Believe it or not, I'm quite a bit stronger than I look!

That's great! I can cook so I can help do that. I can teach you too if you want!

We could make fun decorations as well!
draconite: (surprise | maybe)

Oh, you can cook?

[ The speed with which she immediately switches gears to laser focus on that is utterly shameless. ]

Have you had much luck with cooking with the appliances we're expected to use here on the train?

Yes miss! [He nodded enthusiastically.] They aren't too different then what we had in the heavens! When I woke up there I didn't know how to cook at all but now I do! It's really fun and I like making tasty food for everyone!

Well, then! I'll simply have to take you up on your offer and see about learning for myself!

[ She could probably teach herself if she really wanted to, but she hasn't got the patience for that. Instead, she's going to be making her inability to feed herself this small child's problem. Class act. ]
myblueskies: (of course!)

Okay! If you want to learn or ever get hungry just come and find me! I love making food so I can make you food whenever you want, and show you how to do it!

[He grins at her, glad to have found someone else who liked food lots!]
