The day had quickly arrived after the date had been picked out. The dressing car was opened by the train, letting everyone who wished to attend go to pick out something formal to wear for the event, and very early in the morning, the gym had been decorated appropriately for the Chinese wedding ceremony, mostly in the color red with some gold mixed in. Near the door of the carriage was a banner with Chinese characters written on it, including the double happiness symbol.

For the ceremony itself, a low table was set out with a few items. The grooms entered, both WangJi and WuXian wearing red robes had been made by the resident spider, embroidered with gold designs of forest animals. WangJi's normally white forehead ribbon had even been replaced with a red and WuXian had a red veil. With their attendants there to assist, the wedding ceremony began.

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.

Soon after the room was ready for the reception, the feast prepared for the couple and for their guests, which had been prepared by helpful volunteered, attempting to make as many traditional dishes as they could with the offerings that the train had.

As the wedding couple, they were rather happily seated together of course. WangJi had since replaced the forehead ribbon on his head, but the question would be how long it stayed there.

When Senku came over them and bowed, WangJi returned the bow, clasping his hands together. "Thank you. It is an honor to get to share it with those here."

Wei Wuxian bowed as well, letting go of Wangji long enough to circle his arms for a proper bow back. "Thank you. We appreciate your coming."

"I apologize for the lack of gift, considering we don't have currency, but I can offer you a favour or an item of your choosing, if there's something you'd like." Senku offered with a small smile.

[achickenformylove]

"We understand that it is difficult to arrange something like that here." There wasn't much that he could think of, not being very materialist, so he glanced over at WuXian.

Wei Wuxian laughed. "The only thing I really want is a slightly wider bed and none of this waking in different beds thing. Perhaps if you lent your voice to mine in asking the train for married accommodations?" He had his husband, his friends, his family, he wasn't dead, and he occasionally got some wine. What else did he really need?

"I've never tried asking the train for anything before, but I don't see why I can't submit the request for you." Senku said after musing for a moment.

"If that's really all you want..."

[achickenformylove]

"I suppose it would not hurt for more people to ask it. It is inconvenient for those who wish alone time to have the train preventing it."

Like teleporting them around and some ungodly hour of the morning if they weren't in their bed.

"What we really wanted was for our friends to come to our wedding," Wei Wuxian said. "And look, you are! So...everything else is just a bonus. But if you would do that, it would be greatly appreciated."

He gave the other man a sly smile. "And maybe if we get it, eventually you may get a berth there too? You and that friend of yours sure flirt a lot over the ICP."

[10billionpercent]

"I will do that." Senku said, no matter how frivolous it seemed.

The comment about him and Gen made him chuckle and blush lightly. They flirted over the ICP, definitely, and everywhere else at the rate they were going. It was a near-constant thing, easily observable.

"Ah, we're already dating." Senku clarified, amused. He gestured at his hair being pulled up by a silk rope, the knot on the top Ishigami village-style. "He did my hair for me." Which after a pause he explained. "That's typically something reserved for someone incredibly close to you."

[achickenformylove]

"Yes, that is true, we were hoping for people to come to our wedding."

So they hadn't asked for any sort of gift but if someone had wanted to give them one, it was nice.

"I see. That is nice. It is good that you have someone you are so close to."

"Ah, kind of like touching the ribbon, huh?" Wei Wuxian, said, reaching over and touching Lan Wangji's, just because he could. He grinned at his husband.

[10billionpercent]

"I honestly don't know if it's similar. Possibly." Senku hummed. "Village tradition that if you have a rope like this, no one's meant to touch it but you or a loved one." He commented. He didn't tie his hair back much, but it was fine to do it once in awhile.

WangJi glanced over at WuXian as he reached over and touched his forehead ribbon. He wasn't upset about it as it was WuXian's right to touch it now. Him and only him.

"Then it is similar. Disciples of Gusu Lan wear a forehead ribbon as a symbol of our restraint. Only parents or one's fated partner may remove it aside from one's self."
