[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.

The long pause was a tell tale sign that something was wrong. Maybe not about the offer itself though that certainly was a possibility. Noct played that game a lot so the advisor was no stranger to hearing silence speak it's own language and say it's own things.

So he was about to turn away when he heard Reigen's question. Something was really off now as if he couldn't tell before. "Do I have reason not to?" After all, the blonde was the man who kept Ignis and Tony's courting a secret.

God, Reigen thinks, where does he begin on how untrustworthy he is? His status as a complete con artist aside, he still hasn't fully processed just how incapable of helping Madoka he is and he knows Ignis will freak out if he ever found out she was in an infinite time loop at the mercy of a demonic cat...rabbit...thing. He can't just say that.

"It's not that, I just...well, I guess I'm not used to this sort of thing. I've never been that close to my family." Not a complete lie, but definitely not the first thing on his mind in this situation either.

Ignis wasn't close to his own blood family either but he didn't sat as much. Instead his blondish head cocked to the side. "I see." He took a breath and sighed with a nod.

"Then you can have time or decline as you will. There's no rush to give an answer." He could feel there was more beneath the surface that Reigen wasn't saying, but he wouldn't pry.
