WHO || Vi, Luthir, Wynn, Jack, Myri, Finnick, Francesca, Val'drin, Spike, Dumage, Felicity, Gus, Astrid, Fred Jr., Kat, Gar, Buffy, Rafael, Elena, Alaric, Rose, Dimitri, Aedan, Dovan, Lan, Zero, Koraith, Mark, Dawn, Archer, Des, Zarad, Alex, Faith, Faye, Sean, Anastacia [closed]
WHAT || Vi and Luthir's wedding
WHERE || Chelsea Physic Garden, London
WHEN || June 6th, evening
HOW || Actionspam

Now officially Knighted, Vi exchanges her ceremonial armor for a wedding gown, and the guests head into London to gather at the Chelsea Physic Garden.  The evening is warm and clear, and the flowers in full bloom, chairs set up on the main lawn with name tags on them for people to find their seat.  Gentle Elvish music plays everyone in, and at the front of stands an arbor covered in wisteria.  It's a remarkably peaceful setting, enough to dispel further some of the grimness of the past few days and create an atmosphere of smiles and warmth.    It seems to reinforce what Luthir has been telling Vi all along: that maybe now more than ever, this is the sort of thing they need, in order to remember what they're all fighting for.

And this is why you never taught me to say "I hate you" in elvish. [ CHEATING. her face scrunches up in a smile as she looks up at wynn. what's next? ]

[wynn]

If any here know of a reason these two should not be wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace.

[graveflowers]

[ she doesn't look away from luthir, but vi does add her two cents. ] If anyone so much as breathes loudly right now I will personally disembowel you with a spoon.

[romanticidal]

[ and at that point... a figure approaches the back row of chairs and the timing is enough to draw wynn's eyes that way, along with the rest of the guests', most likely. they all find themselves staring at a very well put together rafael (disguise 21), who looks over them with a sheepish expression as he seems to realize what is happening at this exact moment.

in his adorable italian accent, he waves a hand apologetically and says: ]

Mi dispiace. My flight... it was very late. [ and he looks around for an open spot omg such embarrass halp please don't disembowel him ]

[graveflowers]

[ ...OF ALL THE PEOPLE. that's the only one that could survive her threat tbh. she shakes her head in good natured exasperation. ] Your seat is next to Buffy.

[wynn]

[ as rafael goes to quietly sliiiide into that seat with a small smile at buffy that says 'whoops', wynn focuses back on the couple in front of him with a smile. ] Do you have the rings?

[graveflowers]

[ glancing back at myri, vi holds out her hand. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT TO SHINE MYRILANDEL. hand 'em over. ]

[witchwoman]

[Oh no! She must have lost them somewhere between here and-

Just kidding.

Myri carefully tucks her smaller bouquet under her arm so that she can hold Vi's larger on in one hand and reach into the pocket of her dress (because it's one of those cute ones with pockets. I just decided). Turning her hand palm up, her fingers slowly uncurl to reveal both rings. See? She's got this.]

[graveflowers]

[ there is a genuine sigh of relief as she plucks them from myri's palm and passes hers to luthir to hold. she fixated on that one thing going wrong so she wouldn't think about everything else. myri is a great ring bearer. should've had a little pillow. ] Got 'em, boss.

[wynn]

[ wynn turns to luthir first. ]

Do you, Luthir Reedhym, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to protect and to honor, in sickness and in heath, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto her for as long as you both shall live?

[luthir]

[ luthir looks to vi, the joy in his eyes undeniable. ] I do.

[graveflowers]

[ SCREAM. VICTORY. ]

[wynn]

And do you, Violet Fiore, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to protect and to honor, in sickness and in heath, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto him for as long as you both shall live?

[graveflowers]

[ she's literally squirming with happiness. ] I do.

1/2

[wynn]

Luthir, place the ring on Violet's left hand, and repeat after me. [ the elf can follow simple directions so that is happening. ]

"I give you this ring to wear upon your hand as a symbol of our unity, love, respect and trust."

[luthir]

I give you this ring to wear upon your hand as a symbol of our unity, love, respect and trust.

[graveflowers]

It's really pretty. [ yeah, vi. you picked it out. ] I did good.

[wynn]

Violet, place the ring on Luthir's left hand, and repeat after me. [ gurrrrl, no jk wynn looks entertained ]

"I give you this ring to wear upon your hand as a symbol of our unity, love, respect and trust."

[graveflowers]

[ her hands are shaking a little but she doesn't drop the ring, she just takes a little longer than luthir did. can't all be crazy graceful elves, god. ]

I give you this ring to wear upon your hand as a symbol of our unity, love, respect and trust.

[wynn]

Luthir and Violet, you have exchanged vows and rings, and consented to marry in the presence of this company. By the authority vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.

[ he looks to luthir ] You may now kiss the bride.

[luthir]

[ ♬ turn my black roses red - alana grace

you don't have to tell him twice. he'll even grab her tightly and dip her over, and y'all gonna deal with it. and with a dex check of 22 that's one hella kiss. ]

[graveflowers]

[ YAY! she's struck dumb by the kiss and all she can really do is throw her arms around his neck with a little squeal of delight. i hope you weren't expecting anything useful from her. ]

[wynn]

[ wynn shakes his head at you crazy kids. and when you're done, he addresses the assembled one last time. ] I now present to you... Mr. and Mrs. Luthir and Violet Reedhym.

[graveflowers]

So it's time for cake right? It came free with purchase of husband.

[romanticidal]

[ NOT QUITE YET, THIS IS RAF'S CUE. he jumps back up again from where he'd like just fucking sat down for the good part, and makes his way up to where the mic is strapped to a piano they've got rolled out. everybody strap in for raf to sing this wedding to a close with a perform (sing) of 31 / perform (piano) 33 ... luthir takes vi's hand with a smile as raf launches into the song.

♬ per te - rafael giovanni ]

Sento nell'aria profumo di te
Piccoli sogni vissuti con me
Ora lo so
Non voglio perderti
Quella dolcezza così senza età
La tua bellezza rivali non ha
Il cuore mio vuole soltanto te

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

Dimmi che tu già il futuro lo sai
Dimmi che questo non finirà mai
Senza di te non voglio esistere

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

Non devo dirtelo
Ormai già lo sai
Che morirei senza di te

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, farò
Tutto quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te
