WHO || Erryone
WHAT || the wedding of Finnick Odair and Myrilandel de Tanos
WHERE || Andres Beach & Palace
WHEN || oct 23rd
HOW || actionapsm

Between the various members of the wedding party, everything comes together just in time for the big event. Within a few weeks' time, the day has finally arrived. Whether they've met or spoken to the bride and groom, the entire isle of Andres is invited to this event. Cool colors are prominent throughout the ceremony set up on the Andres coast. From the bridesmaids dresses to the flower arrangements to the beautiful blue sky and sea, it's a very calming atmosphere.

Once the ceremony is finished, everyone is invited to the reception, held at the Andres palace. There's food, drink, and music. Tables are available, but with such an open guest list, there's no assigned seating- other than the main table up front where the wedding party and their guests will sit last supper style.

[ meanwhile vi is like yay wedding and hella excite so everyone's flowers are blooming out of control, seemingly oblivious to anyone else's nerves, arm happily looped around mark's. THIS COULD BE UR FUTURE QUEEN YALL. jk that would be a little too targaryen. wrong dragon motif.

amaranth is following vi (as he is the ring bearer), keeping up a running, sassy commentary in her head because he wants to keep his telepathic sass to someone other than the bride. especially since the commentary amounts to "took them fucking long enough", which prompts vi to laughingly shush him quietly in the middle of the walk. ]

Language, Amaranth!

[graveflowers]

Myrilandel Odair. [ vi grabs her from behind in a hug, arms wrapped around myri's middle, kissing her cheek before propping her chin on her bestie's shoulder. ] I gotta get used to it, but I must say, I like it. Feels like home.

[ she's had difficulty getting used to violet reedhym, but the sentiment was there, too. felt like him. ]

amelia & the doctor ☆ open

[keptbiting]

[ the doctor's friend is getting married, so of course he brings his pond along with. amy looks almost underdressed compared to the doctor. but it's impossible to keep up with the doctor. his fashion trends are from the future.

as are his dancing skills. perhaps you catch amy laughing at him, top hat set on her bright hair, scarf looped around her neck. ] That's not even real dancing! You look like you're having a fit!

[ or perhaps you find them picking at the finger foods, conversing with a stray cat from the isle, gossiping like old ladies. amy is her usual cheerful self, but something about a wedding makes her a little less bright. but that is what wine is for, yes. feel free to run into both or either of them. ]

[ambitionist]

[if you thought alex only came to the wedding to try and hook up with zarad (again) ... well, that's probably true. which is why he approaches des and launches right into] Where's your better, blonder half?

[nothingsodivine]

[des's face is probably super attractive right now, considering he was stuffing his face seconds before and grimacing around chipmunk cheeks isn't delicate. at least he swallows before he speaks.]

He felt he left enough broken hearts behind the last time he showed up.

[doubletake]

Well, if we take what Spike said at face value, she's already pulling one. Like it or not, it's not that far off from what I did. If she's not lying.

[But she shrugs her shoulders a bit. Doing what Dumage had done had gotten Jade killed, so she understood why everyone was pissed. But they should have been able to protect her from one guy, and they'd failed miserably.]

Careful, now. I could do some damage to your carefully crafted reputation.

[Don't make her steal your face and watch chick flicks in the common room and cry into her popcorn. She'd be very convincing.]

[doubletake]

Well, it's about as real as it gets.

[She says with an equally pleased grin.]

Let me know what it's like when it sinks in.

[Elena's pretty sure she'll never be in Myri's position. Whoops.]

[nothingsodivine]

[yeah, des doesn't want to think of that. if he hadn't run the hell off to drink his sorrows when he led jade to the stage, he would have been there to help. he ducks his eyes and shrugs, only looking up again to shoot her an affronted look.]

My carefully crafted reputation took a hit when I started dating a man. [not... quite convincing though. elena, what would you DO?!]

[doubletake]

A man gorgeous enough to make anyone's head turn in about a half second. You never stood a chance, and everyone is jealous, whether they can admit it to themselves or not.

[She's raising an eyebrow at you, Des. Don't even try and argue with her about this.]

[nothingsodivine]

[Des snorts, but he cannot argue.] Well, I don't love him for his looks. [a beat, and then he adds:] And he started it! They can blame his terrible taste.

[doubletake]

Of course, not. But it's a damn good perk.

[She just laughs.]

You're not that bad a catch yourself, you know. Try not to sell yourself too short.

[nothingsodivine]

Oh, don't stoop to flattery now that you've subtly threatened me, Gilbert. That's just diabolical. [He throws an arm around her shoulders and gives her a one-armed hug.] It's good to be home, huh?

[doubletake]

Hey, that's your fault. I was originally threatening everyone else.

[Her arm slips easily around his waist, squeezing back.]

Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it.

[lastdragomir]

[ everyone and their mom knows who elena is. lissa, however, recognizes her as rose's friend. yeah, she fucking knows who rose is friends with, okay. it's a defense mechanism to then avoid them in case rose shows up. (also knowledge: local gossip 21 lmao)

aca-awkward.

but this is a time of celebration and lissa approaches anyway, after she makes sure rose is busy elsewhere. shes somewhat apprehensive, but she places a smile on her face that has genuine warmth in it. you can do it, lissa. ]

You looked lovely.

[ nailed it. ]

[lastdragomir]

[ sorry that she's also sort of wearing white, myri, but lissa approaches the bride with a happy smile and reaches out to take the other cleric's hands.

BANG BANG CLERIC GANG. ]

Congratulations, Myri! The ceremony was lovely and you... look amazing.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ at some point, alice abandons will to socialize on his own. which is what finds her at the food table by des. it is not what makes her reach out and uses him as a support as she unbuckles her heels and lets them drop to the floor. no, that was because of a gross miscalculation of how long she could remain standing in five inch heels without breaking both of ankles or becoming permanently crippled in later life. being taller than will has lost it's appeal.

she sighs happily when her bare feet touch the cold floor and she pulls her hand back from where it was gripping des' shoulder. she flashes him a brief, perfunctory smile. ]

Thanks, pal. You saved me. My hero.

[slay]

[ Literally nothing, even tense-ass Desmond Descant over here, can ruin this for Buffy. Myri's wedding is everything. Her and Finnick have a way of representing every hope they have of weathering storms and sticking together through the best and the worst: the fact that they're getting married, that they finally made it, only reinforces that, and goes to show that maybe there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

Besides. She has super strength. It's not like he's clamping her arm off or anything.

She glows as she heads down the aisle with him, making her way up towards Wynn. The excitement keeps her from turning into a weepy mess of self pity or a weepy mess of excessive investment. Instead, she keeps the broad smile on her face the whole time, stopping at the head of the aisle and taking her place beside Elena and Gar to turn and watch Myri make her way in. ]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ The Doctor isn't one to miss a wedding, especially if it's one of someone who he likes. So he's here, and looking pretty damn swag, all tophat and tails. He's been dancing up a storm with Amy. But for now he breaks away, and it's Myri that he finds. ]

Whit woo, look at you!

[nothingsodivine]

[his eyes find myri in the crowd and his smile widens a bit, coming easily at the sight of her so excited.] Look at her. Belle of the ball. Hard to believe she was scared to death a month ago.

[nothingsodivine]

[Des freezes as he's being used as a support beam, but mercifully doesn't move that whole time, because... wow. It's half chivalry and half curiosity.]

You're welcome. [he eyes her shoes.] Personally, it's my opinion that any shoe with a heel that could double as a shiv ain't fit for walking in, but I'm not a woman.

[icouldbe_bess]

They make my butt look cute and when in danger they count as weapons. But mostly it's about my ass.

[ fyi. she shrugs, tossing her hair back from her shoulders. ]

[nosdacariad]

[ your potential future king, ladies and gents

is already crying lmfao

SUCH MANLY TEARS that he's wiping away from his free hand rapidly once and awhile, because myri is so important to him ok, and she's hAVING HER WEDDING ON ANDRES AND HE JUST HAS A LOT OF EMOTIONS DON'T YOU JUDGE HIM. at least he carries himself with hella princely grace with a 19 dex check. ]

[rationalizes]

[ while not out and out crying, gar is definitely teary-eyed as she makes her way along with kat to take her spot. she's smiling widely the entire time, and as she walks down the aisle, her eyes seek out jack in the crowd at one point. GONNA BE THEM SOME DAY AW YEAH. ]

[shootfirst]

[ lmfao surprise kat's not crying. in fact, she's just trying really hard to not look judgmental since this whole marriage thing is all but against her personal religion. she's just gonna be happy for her friends, since they look happy??? except mark omg stop crying loser. ]

[nosdacariad]

[ mark's in the wedding party so he's in the middle of all this good fun times going on, but he's definitely going to come have a private moment with his bestie over here, duh. ] You better have saved me a dance, Mrs. Odair.
