Meet me at the altar in your white dress

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>

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! ]

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! ]

[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?]

[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.]

[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.

[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]

[starless_sky]

_{[He blinked at the elbow to his side but he smiled when he turned to see the kid with the feathers in his hair. He grinned.]}

Sorey, hey. Thanks for coming. You think so? _{[He still picked at his hair, then flexed his fingers and brought his hands to rest at his side.]}

Guess I'm just restless...

[starless_sky]

<sub>[He doesn't think anyone is coming up behind him, certainly not Looma. He grunts as he's lifted and then his bones pop. They do pop, not break, right? Oh gods... he can't tell the difference. Wow... that's a hell of a hug.

He knows who it is before she even says his name. The number of arms and the grip. He arches his back to pop it when she lets go.]</sub>

Looma, hey... glad you could come... You look nice.

And I didn't see the point in waiting. We can disappear from this place any time so Luna and I can't afford to waste time. I'll feel better when it's over. _{[And she's his wife. When it's official.]}

[monolike]

I bet Luna's just as restless as you are. So you can be nervous together. [SO romantic.

Also he doesn't know what these clothes are but they are sharp. Mikleo will probably take so many mental notes when he sees Noct.] Have you seen her yet?

[luxoraculi]

[ Luna is happy. This is the happiest she's been in a long time; this day is something that she never dreamed to be obtainable. After all, she'd been forced apart from Noctis in the most permanent way possible; and she knows that once they return home, it will be like none of this ever happened. So she wants to enjoy this day just as she's been enjoying every second of actual wedding planning, even if it meant dragging her poor fiancé around to every potential wedding venue there had been until they'd both settled on a simple rooftop ceremony and reception.

As happy as she is, she is a little nervous, which probably shows how she fumbles a little with the lovely little hair pin that she'd gotten from her gift basket, a gift originally from one of the Kingsglaive members whom she had been killed on her way to come escort her from Tenebrae. She's at least managed to properly attach the veil, but now that it's put together she can't... quite get it into her hair.

So when she hears the light knocking and the familiar voice, she turns to face Cloud with a bright, appreciative smile. ]

I would be most grateful for your help, yes. Thank you so much, Cloud. [ She lifts up the hem of her dress and makes her way over to him, offering up the pin with her veil attached. ] I cannot seem to get it to stay in.

[starless_sky]

Oh, Luna's never nervous. She's not like me, she's amazing.

_{[His perfect statuesque love. And he could say he has no idea what YOU'RE wearing, Sorey but... it'd be a lie. He's seen the kind of things the Empire upper crust wears. He knows this... unique fashion style.]}

Huh? Seen her... no. That's actually bad luck where we're from. I can't see her until the ceremony. You can go visit her though, I think she's still downstairs.

[pork_bowl]

<sub>[The dog was the best part. Yuri was missing Makkachin so much but Umbra helped his need a little bit. He'd pet the boy until he rolled over for a belly rub.... and then he gave him a belly rub too. Oh, precious dog...

He has sparklers already lit and he is grinning at the big collection Mantis has.]</sub>

You got a lot! Do you need a light?? What kind of donut did you get?? Mine was pistachio!

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.

GASPS

[luxoraculi]

[ This is the best, happiest day of Luna's entire life. Afterlife? Life in general. She's never been so full of joy, nor has she ever felt so completely and utterly complete and at peace. This has been such a wonderful experience, one she never thought she'd ever get to have. But here they are, not as Prince and Princess, not as King and Oracle, but as Noctis and Luna, husband and wife.

She smiles at him, her cheeks turning pink as he kisses her hand. She's just so in love with him, and to finally stand at his side as his wife... it's more than she could have ever asked for. ]

We did... I can't believe we're married. [ It's surreal. This is how it should have been at home... they should have been married, they should be living together in Insomnia. She should be serving her father-in-law as his Oracle and Noctis should just be the prince right now, not a young king with the whole world on his shoulders.

But here in the fleet, he gets that chance, and she gets her shot at being his wife. It's... crazy in all the right ways. ]

I am a little hungry, I haven't had time to eat at all today. You probably haven't either, have you, love? [ She smiles and leans up to kiss his cheek, careful not to leave a lip gloss mark on his cheek. Yes, please hold both of her hands. Just hold her in general, okay? ] Let's go get some food and drinks, we can sit and relax for a while. Do you want to dance afterwards?

LUNAAAA COME ON DOOOOOOOWN *the price is right music plays*

[starless_sky]

<sub>[Oh, his too. He had a weight lifted off of him. He found Luna, he had her now, she was his wife, he couldn't lose her, even... even in the end when they met on the other side... she was his wife while they lived and breathed. Sort of but that was worth everything to him. This should count for something when he meets her in the afterlife. Hopefully, it won't be too long.

He has an insane courage to kiss her in front of their guests. Her hand, her face, her mouth... he can't help himself when she leans in for a kiss on his cheek. He gives her one on the corner of her mouth.]</sub>

Believe it, baby. We're hitched. Now if only we had a chocobo to ride off with.

I didn't eat either so let's go for it before everyone else cleans it out. And then donuts maybe.... then... I guess I can dance with you. _{[He chuckled. Lies. He could dance like a veteran, he was a veteran dancer. Being a prince wasn't his style but he still knew things like protocol and dancing.]}

We didn't pick a song to dance to... I got it. We just wait until we're done with the donuts then whatever song is playing... that's gonna be our song.

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!]

[moseyin]

[Geez, she looks really incredible in that dress. Like, the kind of princesses in storybooks back home, the kind he'd always imagined rescuing when he was young and stupid and didn't know that all the princesses in his life would be rescuing him.

He's not quite sure what he's doing but he's pretty sure he can figure it out, and takes the comb from her to find a way to fit it into her bound-up hair so the veil flips over the back properly.] Did you do all this stuff all yourself? Like your dress and makeup and everything? [Sure, he'd watched Aerith spruce herself up all on her own for the Don Corneo thing, but he'd needed almost an entire sector worth of help to get himself presentable enough to pass.] Don't brides usually have like, girlfriends and stuff helping them with this?

/SCREAMS AND JUMPS AROUND LIKE A FUCKIN MANIAC WEARING A LAME SHIRT

[luxoraculi]

[ They are going to give their guests diabetes by the end of the night they are being so damned sweet and lovey dovey right now. The kiss to the corner of her mouth earns him a happy giggle, before she just kind of leans up to press her lips directly to his. So there. She wouldn't normally indulge in such a large amount of PDA either, honestly, but today they are allowed. It's their wedding, it's expected. ]

Ride off into the sunset and right off the edge of this building? [ She knows how you are, Noctis, you adrenaline junkie. Of course, even if they did have a chocobo that he wanted to glide off the edge of the building, she'd be more than willing so long as they were together. ]

Dinner, donuts, and dancing... I know the latter is quite the chore for my handsome husband, but I am so fortunate that he will grace me with his presence on the dance floor. [ With that said, she offers him a deep, flourishing bow and a playful smile. ]

Well, it is a little hard when this is not the music from home... [ And despite how alike they can be, she has a feeling that their choice in preferred music is vastly different. But she nods at him, her smile widening. ] That sounds like a lovely plan. [ She takes his hand now, giving it a gentle squeeze. ] Come, dear. Let us worry about dinner and donuts first.

[monolike]

[Shakes his head.] It's okay, I can go find her later. I came over because I wanted to see you. [Plus you looked so nervous he couldn't bear to just walk on by.]

[luxoraculi]

[ Lunafreya is honestly grateful that Cloud came to see her, because despite how humorous this situation is, there is no way she would have been able to pin that stupid veil in herself. And she has all the confidence in the world that he's going to be able to do it for her. So she stands perfectly still and patient with her hands clasped together in front of herself as he works, humming quietly at his questions before she answers. ]

I did do it all myself. I... actually have no idea what brides usually have. [ She... didn't exactly have a whole lot of friends back home. Noctis had been her only true friend from a distance, and while she'd had Gentiana, she'd been there as a messenger and to offer advice as a higher being. ] I suppose most do, but I'm afraid that I haven't quite made many female friends here.

[ She's got... two? And they're more acquaintance than friends. Actually, now that she really thinks about it, she should probably do something about that and actually attempt to be a little more social. But she's glad to have the friends she does have, female or not.

Which is exactly why she's flashing him a playful smile suddenly. ]

I believe most brides have... bridesmaids? And a single maid of honor. Would you like to be my man of honor, Cloud?

[ginger_firebird]

Yuri.

[He remembers the man from his first days on the ship. All energy and eager to party, huh? You had to admire people like that for their stamina.]

I can light them myself, but thank you for offering. [He gestures to the open spot next to him, figuring a little politeness is called for on a day like this.] Mine was a kind of red velvet with frosting. Very sweet.

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.]
