Meet me at the altar in your white dress

[starless_sky]

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Kayanni System, the city
When: NOW

There is a wedding on the planet. You may know this because you were invited to this wedding by this little guy and it's a lovely ceremony! You can watch the couple get married, wether you know them or not, the whole fleet was invited.Even if they don't know you either. 

Noctis was in all black and he was beside himself, the time had finally come and after seeing his beautiful bride he couldn't look away. The music was soft yet appropriate. Luna was beaming, holding onto Shiro's arm down the aisle until they were together and holding hands. The vows went on as if in another room. Noctis couldn't quite focus on them, he was fighting getting sucked into Luna's orbit and just kissing her prematurely. Distantly he heard his cue to repeat after the offician and he recited his vows word for word. Umbra had their rings ready for them. When he put Luna's on her finger he felt a tear spill down his cheek. He couldn't stop smiling. The officiant led Luna then and Noctis hung on every word. Her voice was melodic and soft. Then he had a ring on his finger and he felt himself crying again. He just looked at her, he officiant left them through the end, announcing it was over, they were married.

Noctis didn't wait for any cue, he pulled Luna in close and dipped her as they kissed.

They were laughing and crying and holding each other tight. They were in their own world for the time being. But the RECEPTION starts now. And that's what everyone really came for. There's alcohol, food in a buffet, and cake . Those of you at the cake tasting with them may notice the flavor you recommended is available as a donut! All of the suggested flavors are availalble, it was hard to decide who didn't get their favorite and what ONE flavor to make an entire cake out of. It didn't sit well with either of them. 

Also sparklers  There is a table with a few gifts on it, but it contains a large display of long sparklers with matches and a bucket of water saying "Please light up our night!" 

SO Have at the reception everybody!

There is a: Dance floor with music booming, a buffet with delicious food and CAKE, There is BOOZE of all types and it's just flowing with no signs of stopping, and sparklers! Also dancing with the bride..... or getting a photo with the couple!

BEFORE THE CEREMONY- NOCTIS, ota

[starless_sky]

<sub>[Noctis was out in the open wandering the rooftop before the ceremony. He's dressed, he's fidgeting... he's drinking now and then. You can find him milling around and chatting with people who came to the ceremony. He's an excitable young guy... who really needs to stop fussing with his hair and his tie.

Someone take his drink away.</sub>

[tough_love]

[How are you with personal space Noctis because your giant former captain is absolutely going to just rush up from behind to try and give you a good squeeze. Maybe too good of a squeeze, really- your bones can take it right? Probably. As it happens the giant armor-clad warrior who enjoys picking fights with everything happens to be a hopeless romantic and easily excited by this sort of thing, and she is definitely in the spirit now.

Fortunately, she's also not wearing a suit of armor to your wedding, she's here as a guest and not a conquering warlord. So she's had something from one of the planet's many shops altered for someone with an extra set of arms, and...larger than most...rush delivered for just such an occasion!]

NOCTIS! I did not expect a ceremony so soon!

[Hey she gave you her blessing to leave the ship, only natural she shows up to the wedding itself, right?]

[monolike]

[Oh man, he looks so nervous...! Sorey, being the romantic and bleeding heart that he is, bounces right over and nudges Noctis with his elbow.] I think your hair looks great! You probably don't have to do anything else with it.

[this_loser]

Noct! Buddy!

[For once, Prompto will not jump on his back or mess up his friend's suit or hair. He doesn't want to mess up his clothes or hair right now either. After the ceremony, all bets are off.]

Can you believe this is really happening?

[nonightdriving]

[Ignis comes to find his king and cannot help but smile at the nervous gestures the younger man is going through.]

Stop touching your hair and clothes or you'll look like a rumpled mess out there. Someone spent quite a while making sure that you'd be presentable.

[Someone who is simply wearing the black suit that he found a few systems ago that resembles his Kingsglaive uniform.]

Before the ceremony - Luna - OTA

[luxoraculi]

[ Luna is in a small room, already in her gown and getting ready to head up to the roof to do this thing. She's still struggling to get her veil pinned into her hair. Someone should probably help her with that.

Or come pick her up to walk her down the aisle.

Or just come and hang out with the bride to be. There's many options, really! ]

[moseyin]

[He'd gotten the invitation and it wasn't like- okay, it's not like he was in love with her or anything. They barely knew each other after all, had only a handful of conversations...she reminded him of Aerith. That's what it was.

That's what he told himself.

But Aerith is here now, and Cloud is reminded starkly of their differences. So getting the invitation hadn't been a disappointment or a rude awakening or anything so much as it had been...something. He's happy for Luna, of course; especially since she seems really happy. And he doesn't know what the hell to do at weddings or how to like, taste cakes and all that shit, so he'd skipped that part but what kind of person would he be if he skipped this on account of a little mild heartache?

Answer: a fantastically huge jerk.

So he stops by the door and sees her struggling with comb attached to the veil and clears his throat softly, knocking on the doorjamb.] ...hey. Uh, need any help with...? [Gestures to her veil]

[padadin]

[After Lance helped him look as good and formal as possible, Shiro is ready to go. He arrives to her door and knocks with his metal hand, which makes the sound a bit stronger than intended.

But his voice is soft.] Lunafreya? Are you ready?

[asphodels]

[ Aerith can't help being just a little bit nosy, especially with what she knows about Lunafreya - which is, in all, that she is Cloud's friend and that Cloud is incredibly fond of her. It's hard not to go and scout her out and check in on her, even with the slight twinge of jealousy she's smothering with all the grace that her mom ever taught her to have. Peeking inside, she watches for a moment before she breathes out. ]

He was right. You are beautiful.

[ Which is, clearly, the best thing to say to someone before you've introduced yourself. ]

Lunafreya?

[torsion]

[ Jill's just here to add to the pile of well-wishers, dipping into the room after a hearty knock and long pause. Though she'd considered popping in on Noctis, she figures if one ritual is common throughout the galaxy that it's probably that men stick with the men and women with the women. She'd rather not offend straightaway and plans on asking Lunafreya about it, assuming there's time to give the kid a noogie. Otherwise, post-ceremony it will be.

Jill cleans up pretty well (even if she's nearly twice the size of the model), the navy blue dress riding up a little higher thanks to her wide hips and thighs, as well as her chest. This one was the most plain and suitable to her tastes on short notice, mostly thanks to the way it covers the chest so there's no questions about the scarring she has there. The low heels aren't terribly comfortable, but it's always nice to get a boost on her height; even at barely an inch more, they give a different perspective of things.

Still, she pauses before entering. ]

I should've known the dress would be as stunning as the bride herself. [ There's a hint of teasing to her voice and crooked smile, but there's no lie to the words she's chosen. ] Anything I can get you while you're stuck in here?

How could I *forget*

[starless_sky]

_{[Well a certain dog appears at her side and he's got a message for her in his green pack. Come on, Luna.... just like old times? A message from Noctis?]}

Can't wait to call you my wife. Just a few more hours.

_{[Short and to the point, just like their notebook. He put a cool sticker with his message. They have a tradition here, ok?]}

[nonightdriving]

[Though Ignis has spent quite a while helping Noctis get ready for this occasion, he cannot help but come to see his king's soon-to-be wife and to make sure that she isn't overly fidgeting like Noctis is. He opens the door and sees her in her dress and stops and smiles.

It's certainly the fact that she is a sight for sore eyes. And perhaps it's the fact that they all know that when they return to Eos, this won't be happening. That Noctis and Lunafreya, out of everyone he knows, deserve some happiness wherever they can reach it, even if Ardyn is still free and causing them all headaches.

He sees her having trouble with the veil and slips through the door as if it's not there before coming over and releasing the gauzy fabric from her normally very steady hands.]

Allow me, Milady.

[He smiles as he slowly arranges the veil around her.]

It's a shame that Lord Ravus couldn't be here as well.

[And Gladio. And Regis. And so many more.]

The Reception

[luxoraculi]

[ WOW MUCH RECEPTION, MANY DONUTS. Literally go wild, this is your chance to mingle with one another! Go dance, go find the bride and groom if you feel so inclined! Mostly HAVE FUN! ]

[ginger_firebird]

[The dog was perhaps the biggest surprise of it all. He has no doubt that people can make deep connections regardless of where they currently find themselves, but a wedding... Well, even he had to admit it was a nice change after getting used to the ship and going down to the planet properly.

He has a not so small pile of sparklers next to him and takes great delight in igniting them in between food and drink. He can't remember the last time he had a donut, let alone anything generously fried and served up with frosting. One might catch him devouring another sweet, but mostly, he's waving around the sparklers like batons and contenting himself to quiet people watching on the sideline.]

Locked to RUNA.

[starless_sky]

_{[He hasn't let her go since they were married and he is just beaming at her. He could have hearts floating in the air around him and popping with dumb violin music playing. He's mooning over her. He just... can't stop smiling. He had his fingers laced with hers and he brought her hand to his lips.]}

So... we did it... what do you want to do first, are you hungry? Do you want a drink? _{[Do you want him to hold both your hands? Because he'd be okay with doing that.]}

Yuri Katsuki | OTA | EATIN THESE DONUTS

[pork_bowl]

<sub>[He is just staring at the whole stack of donuts. The fine, immaculate, gorgeous stack of donuts. He wishes he could bring a photo of this home for when he's wedding planning... he wasn't really in the wedding mood, until today at least. The ceremony was beautiful and meaningful and simple yet just enough...

He wanted to pick out his perfect wedding with Victor now. He ought to ask him about what they see here tonight... but for now he's just drooling over the DONUTS]</sub>

I don't even know where to start! They're all different? Great, now I have to have more than one.

Mikleo | OTA

[tsunergy]

[Parties are still (and probably always will be) a little overwhelming, but it was definitely a joy to get a chance to see a human wedding ceremony, and Mikleo's glad to have come even if he doesn't know the couple very well. He's wearing a handsome blue suit with his typical flourish and white trim, because it isn't Mikleo if it isn't overly fancy, though he's careful not to try and out-fancy the bride and groom. He's not here to be garish about it. What he's really proud of is his new hair, styled prettily as well.

He'll mostly mingle about, drag Sorey out for dancing just to embarrass him, nibble at the cakes. Probably wallflower, vehemently denying that it's due to shyness.

He's also going to spend some time trying to dodge the dog, because- oh god, there's a dog at the wedding. And dogs like him for some reason. HELP IT'S TERRIFYING]

(( resonance permissions! ))

MANY MINI PROMPTS | OTA | LOOMA LOVES HER A GOOD WEDDING, OKAY

[tough_love]

[As a courtesy, Looma actually went out of her way to go find something in the planet's shops to be rushed through to completion for someone of her size and, well, distinctly non-human anatomy. So she's actually wearing something approaching appropriate to the occasion, or at least, much more so than her armor does. And yikes is she behaving very, very differently than normal...]

[A: DANCING]

[Did she come here knowing how to dance? Well, not in any way humans would recognize. But she's been a very devoted study since it all started and gets the gist of it soon enough. Which may or may not ultimately be a good thing. Why?

Because no one is safe.

Y'all better get your dance on because she's not about to let go and she will drag you out there no matter who you are or if you even want to dance. Everyone is fair game- the bride, the groom, man or woman, young or old, heck she'd even drag out any resident space hobos or that one mullet-headed guy she tried to beat up not too long ago. It doesn't matter. Looma is super into everything about this and making exactly zero effort to hide it. Just accept your fate and try to enjoy yourself until you're granted sweet, sweet freedom.]

[B: ARM WRESTLING because of course]

[So turns out human weddings- just about anyone's weddings, really- are a little different from Tetramand weddings. There actually isn't supposed to be a giant brawl involved. You can thank whoever had the wisdom to inform her of that before the ceremony, otherwise things could have turned out a whole lot less idyllic for people not alien warlords.

So she's getting that all out of her system by challenging anyone who seems like they'd be down for it to a simple contest of strength, and taking any other challengers at a little table away from the main bunch. Don't worry, she'll be gentle- she'll make sure everyone's arms still bend the normal way and remain firmly attached no matter how badly she wants to win! Probably]

[C: Socializing!]

[Of course, for anyone not raised in a culture that prizes contests of strength and a good battle, she's at open for some light socializing. You know, like a normal person. When she's not forcibly dragging people off to their slow-dancing doom or trying to assert her dominance via ill-advised arm wrestling matches, anyway.]

[D: WILD CARD]

[Maybe you've got something else you need to talk to her about. Or maybe you wish to appease the four-armed giant with delicious food in hopes that it will spare you being dragged off to dance later in the evening (it won't, but points for effort). Or maybe you just feel up to teaching her just what in the actual hell a sparkler is and why anyone celebrates with pyrotechnic toys that don't explode (but why though?!?). Anything you can think of!]

Velvet | OTA

[searingedgelord]

[Velvet is....around. She's still not entirely comfortable with parties. But she was invited, and it's not like there's a lot to do on this planet when she's not terrorizing people by driving a car.

She was even convinced by someone not to wear something tattered and/or black. So she's wearing something actually kind of appropriate, though her left arm is covered by a long red satin glove. And she has her hair done up nicely thanks to Mikleo.

She's not real sure what to do with herself at the reception in general, since she's not inclined to eat much. Though she may seek out the occasional (non-alcoholic, thank you) fizzy drink.]

[padadin]

-Pre-wedding, closed to Lance

[When he accepted Lance's help to look good for the big day, he thought it would just be some clothes advice. A tip on what to do with his hair. Not the pile of beauty products that now decorate the lounge's table. Shiro raises an eyebrow to his teammate, wondering now if this is a good idea after all.]

...is all that really necessary?

-The reception

[With a black and purple suit, and his hair slicked back, Shiro is looking rather handsome today. People may remember him from the ceremony as the man that walked Luna down the aisle, and he did it rather proudly. While that is his only role on the wedding, he won't mind if people come to him with questions or anything.

Now, does he dance? He does! Usually it won't come from him first, though, unless it's a teammate, but you're free to notice him (awkwardly) a couple of times on the dance floor and come and ask him yourself. He's relaxed and smiling, so he's actually willing to give it a try.

And then there's the food! You'll see him pick a bit of everything at the buffet - space life is hard, ok. All the paladins will jump on the chance of good food.]

I didn't think they made donuts with this flavor, [He'll comment casually after biting one. The filling is neon, but he just shrugs and keeps eating it anyway. Nothing can be worse than Coran's paladin special goo, trust him.

Did anybody say pictures by the way? Because he's taking them for his personal collection with the tablet he acquired at the planet, but there are also some to be sent to Luna later. He'll ask you to smile for the happy couple, but if you're a friend of his, he'll want a selfie together. Please indulge him, he's in a good mood today and that means his extroversion coming out like woah.

Finally there's the sparkles! Shiro is smiling goofily at the one sparkling in his hand.]

I think I haven't played with one of these since I was a kid. [He'll turn to anyone that may look like they don't know what to do.] Need a hand with that?

Prompto Argentum | OTA

[this_loser]

[Prompto's been tagged as the photographer for this shin-dig, so that's what he'll be doing. He'll be all over the place, darting all over the place, catching candids of everything and everyone. His focus is the bride and groom, but he'll want to grab plenty of the guests as well. Maybe pose for a few?

Of course he'll stop for a bit of cake and a glass of wine for diving back to his work.

And those sparklers look fun too!]

Ardyn- OTA- because who invited the hobo?

[maledictus_semper]

[Bad news, folks. Guess who invited this guy to the wedding? No one. Actually, he invited himself. Because how could he miss Lady Lunafreya and Prince Noctis' wedding? He couldn't miss such an event now that they were having it planet side. He was dressed in his usual hobo layered outfit, which he thought was wonderful, and wore a smug expression on his face.

Space troll.]

Ah, what an occasion this is! Two young people finally tying the knot. A shame they could not do such a thing back on Eos. Oh, I wonder why that was?

[Feel free to punch, kill, stab, kick this guy.]

Well, only fitting that Noct be the first to comment.

[starless_sky]

<sub>[He doesn't want to think he's hearing that voice at first. He is talking to someone, chatting and actually have a really nice time at his own wedding. He and Luna got split up for a bit, both of them chatting with separate guests but... he knows that voice. It cuts through the din of chatter and music like a knife through butter. His hand grips his glass tighter. He slowly stops speaking.

No.

No.

Goddammit NO!


It was too much to ask to cohabitate and just have a truce, wasn't it? An unspoken agreement not to be like that today? Just today. Just... one fucking moment in his life where he can have Luna and not have this monstrosity ruin it. He glances across the crowd to his bride who may or may not have heard Ardyn. He excuses himself from his conversation partner and turns over his shoulder, making a beeline for the chancellor. He is calm, he won't swear, he won't make a fuss... he just stares him down.]</sub>

Hello. Did you get a drink? _{[He's going to channel his father now, and be hospitable to his enemies. Take the high road, Noct.]}

Pidge - come say hi~

[pidge_out]

--Before the Wedding; LANCE--
[It's a few hours before the wedding. Pidge has been told she should come along, be with the whole team, meet some new people in the fleet. Reluctantly, she agreed. And now she's realizing that her gut instinct to say "No" was probably right. Which is why she shot off a message to Lance that really just says "SOS 911 come by asap".

It's vague, and maybe adding "SOS" and "911" is a bit dramatic. But it's Lance, so she's hoping it works out in her favor. After all, Pidge has absolutely no clue what she's supposed to wear. The Blue Paladin is kind of the only person she knows that might know better.]


--RECEPTION TIME--
[Eventually Pidge ends up in a dark suit and green top, and attempts to keep her hair neater than usual have been made with clips and gel and whatever else Lance did. But despite the fact that she's looking like a proper human being that knows how to socialize and interact with others, she's keeping to herself at her table with a glass of water. She just spends most of her time watching everybody else and occasionally snapping pictures of her friends while they have fun. Pidge is glad everyone's having a good time, though, and is trying to be on her best behavior for all their sakes.]

/SLAMS INTO

[the_tailor]

[Lance has been plotting out the day so far; when to get dressed and get himself ready, when to go to Shiro's, making sure to give a wide berth in case of emergencies. Like this. He's a little panicked when he makes his way over to the Bishop because Pidge rarely texts about emergencies. At least to him. He bursts into her room, concern lining his face.]

Pidge, what's wrong???

Ignis Scientia

[nonightdriving]

Before the wedding

[Even with help, Ignis has spent the last few weeks cooking and baking and preparing the meal and desserts. It's been a headache, but one that he isn't necessarily unhappy to have.

Besides, who needs sleep when you have a coffee addiction?

Ignis can be found flittering between the suites where the bride and groom are preparing, making sure that everything is perfect and that a certain someone doesn't ruin things. Again.]

Reception

[While he still has duties to both king and queen, Ignis is determined to have a good time himself. As a waiter comes by with a tray of glasses, he takes one and watches things as he sips the dry but sweet alcoholic drink.

Not everything is about Ebony, okay?

As a second waiter comes along, he takes another glass and starts to look for someone else to spend time with that he's not bound to by both duty and affection.]

reception

[brainiest]

[ Despite being invited by a familiar dog - Hermione had seen him in the calibrations, after all - she hadn't felt as though she had any right to come to the actual ceremony part of the wedding. It was a little more comfortable coming to the reception after, especially with some presents for the couple, so that's what she does.

She doesn't have much of a desire to dress up, not really, but it's a wedding, so she finds a nice dress and puts it on before she walks around the gathered people, wondering what on earth she ought to do. It all seems a little easier when she spots Ignis and she breathes out, walking over to stand at his side. ]

I feel like there are far more people than I was expecting.

[ Not that she had any idea how many people there would be, of course, but... ]

Reception, 12 years later

[wingenvy]

[What's a fella to do when he's brand new to the fleet and randomly at a wedding where he knows almost no one? Mingle and eat, basically. Which is what he's doing. And he's... trying not to eat too much, because this is a full party with lots of mouths to feed, but a SOLDIER's appetite is a mighty thing indeed, so even with holding back he probably eats like three or four plates' worth. Sorry, wedding prep. At least you know the food's good?

Since he's broke as heck due to just arriving, he's wearing a pretty basic suit, but his hair's slicked back pretty nicely. (The real trick to looking trim as heck is to imitate the Turks, apparently.)

One of his priorities is to find the bride and congratulate her, definitely. She's Cloud's friend and apparently now Aerith's, and he'd be a lousy guest if he didn't at least meet her.]

[asphodels]

[ Once she's done taking care of Lunafreya and her veil - a very important and very serious job, of course! - Aerith heads out to the reception to go and look at other people, dress ready. When she spots Zack her eyes widen and she gazes at him, shaking her head before she reaches over. Leaning up, she presses her hands over his eyes from behind - and it takes some tiptoes. ]

Guess who!
