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.

Lucky for Dyme, he was a very cute blusher, and Bucky didn't mind at all. Instead, he just grins, following Dyme's lead flawlessly. "You're pretty good at this, when I'm not trying to do something totally unfamiliar to you," he teases warmly.

[swansongs]

"Oh, thanks," he said, smiling warmly. "I've been to a lot of clubs and parties." Where he'd picked up how to dance. "I don't usually get to dance with someone so charming, though."

[luckybucky]

Bucky blushes darkly as he grins in reply. "Yeah? Well, you'll have to introduce me to whoever it was that charmed you so thoroughly."

[swansongs]

Dyme laughed. "You're funny and handsome, I see" he said. That was like...bonus points or something. "So what're you into besides cooking?"

[luckybucky]

He dimples, shrugging his shoulders a little. "I'm still figuring that part out," he admits. "I'm trying to learn meditation, but I'm interested in anything that'll keep my mind or hands busy."

[swansongs]

Oh no, the dimples were even cuter. Dyme might've been developing a crush, right then and there. "Too bad I don't think there's any guitars here. I'd offer to teach you." Since music could occupy both your mind and your hands.

[luckybucky]

"Maybe if you get enough points you can buy one. We still don't really know how they're handed out, but it seems like everyone gets some every couple of weeks," he suggests lightly, not missing a beat as they slowly move around the dance floor.

[swansongs]

"I'll have to look into that," he said. Thinking for a moment, he tilted his head. "So was that, like, a 'you should buy yourself a guitar if you want' or a 'you should buy yourself a guitar if you want and I'm down for learning how to play if you do'?" He didn't want to make any assumptions.

[luckybucky]

A little blush dusted Bucky's cheeks, but he grinned at Dyme. "Option number two," he replied with a nod. "It'd be a nice skill to have," he wasn't very good with creative endeavors, but he couldn't get better without trying new things, right?

[swansongs]

"Great." Dyme smiled brightly. "I'll keep that in mind if I ever get my hands on a guitar." And he hoped he would; it'd be good for him to have something to do that wasn't just wandering the train boredly or something. Plus, though he maybe wasn't the best teacher, it'd be fun to teach someone else how to play.

[luckybucky]

"Cool," he agreed, and flashed a little grin, just as the music began to change again. "Thanks for the dance, I haven't done it in a while."

[swansongs]

"Thank you," he said, smiling warmly. "That was nice." And it'd been a very long time since he'd slow danced with anyone. Especially with someone so attractive.
