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.

[finnick is just dressed in a dark gray pants, a white button down shirt and seafoam green tie because this is a beach wedding and even tho it's october, the beach is still warm as fuck, ok. he comes walking down the aisle with his best woman, franny, to take their place on one side of wynn. and then their entire wedding party proceeds in pairs. you don't understand how much time at rehearsal was spent with finnick playing musical chairs with the wedding party so everyone could be paired into twos. if you don't like who you got paired with, too fuckin' bad. your cries fell on deaf bridezilla ears. finnick's, ftr. not myri's. so the marching order is elena - archer, gar - kat, buffy - des, and vi - mark.]

[nothingsodivine]

[we're walking. we're walking. des looks so fucking awkward over here, because he probably never emotionally prepared for being in the wedding party, but he's here, lookin' snazzy, probably tense. sorry, buffy.]

[doubletake]

[Elena looks super fab walking down this aisle, but she sure crit failed her save not to have every emotion reading across her face.

She's happy for Myri, but totally unsure about this whole maid of honor thing because she doesn't want it to cause drama.

Hopefully she can get her shit together, or new hard ass doppelganger is going to be a weepy mess when the vows start. She also might try to punch out anyone who looks at anyone the wrong way.

It probably doesn't help that she's walking down this aisle with Archer, who she thinks probably still hates her.

She's having an emotional day, I guess.]

[graveflowers]

[ 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!

[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. ]

[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. ]

[isisagent]

[Archer, despite the [It's Complicated] situation with Elena, is grinning from ear to ear as they walk. Archer loves weddings, because weddings (Good ones, anyway) come with open bars. So, probably more appropriate to say, he loves alcohol, and intends on processing a lot of it this evening.]

[bigbad]

[Spike is here to walk Myri down the aisle like the proud papa he is. He's got a black leather umbrella to protect him from the sun, and despite the weirdness lately, with Dumage and her vanishing, he's really happy for Myri, and even begrudgingly approves of Finnick. He gives her shoulder a squeeze and smiles down at Myri.]

Ready for this, pet?

[socialgraces]

[ francesca's the epitome of poise and grace, donning sunglasses and gripping finnick's arm tightly as they walk down the aisle. but this is her bestie's wedding, so she's not above showing some real emotion, even if her wide grin is the only thing visible behind her shades.

she takes her place beside finnick, giving his hand a quick squeeze before releasing him completely. she's so proud of him, and so happy he and myri have made it so far. ]

[witchwoman]

[All the preparations with Vi and Elena and Buffy and- okay all of her ladies had been wonderful to keep her sane and moving forward in the getting ready process. It was basically like have a whole troop of maids-of-honor. She was really the luckiest woman in the world.

Once ready and dressed, she stands and waits with Spike until the appropriate time. With her arm looped to hold onto his, she's practically vibrating with anticipation, giving a nod to his question and looking up at him as if the happiness may just burst out of her at any moment.]

Ready.

[♪ answer - sarah mclachlan

Each step down the aisle is more unreal than the last. Myri knew that they were going to end up here, that this was where she belonged, but there were times when it felt almost impossible to achieve. But they've done it. They're here and she's walking towards the man she loves. Thank god for a killer will save over 30 or she would be falling apart like Mark over there.

Reaching Finnick, Myri finds herself flat out grinning like she's a teenager going on her first date. She's not really thinking about the whole part where Spike actually does the giving away part. She's just beaming at the man of her dreams right now.]

[wynn]

[ wynn gives them each a small smile, waiting for them to settle before him before he begins the ceremony. ]

We have gathered here today to celebrate the joining of two hearts in the bonds of matrimony - Myrilandel de Tanos and Finnick Odair.

They have overcome no small share of obstacles to find themselves here today, and have faced all with honesty, honor, and the great love that they bear for one another, which had lightened every weight they might otherwise find too heavy on their own.

Is it through their mutual strength that they have triumphed, and come to this day complete and assured in their love for one another.

Have either of you prepared any vows that you wish to speak at this time?

[65]

Um, I did. [he clears his throat] Myri, our miracle lies in the path we have chosen together. I enter this marriage with you knowing that the true magic of love is not to avoid changes, but to navigate them successfully. You're my anchor when I need grounding, and you're the wind in my sails when I've hit a calm. I love you. Very, very simply, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being, every perfection and every flaw. Spending the rest of my life with you is all I've ever wanted.

[witchwoman]

[Myri has done quite a bit of training to keep her emotions in check. She's better at holding back when she needs to, better at keeping her empathy at bay. But as Finnick speaks, her heart swells near to bursting and she just can't stop herself from feeling every bit of it.

Tears fill her eyes about halfway through his vows, but she refuses to drop her gaze, to look away in embarrassment. She wants to see him through every word of it, even if her vision is clouded with tears. When he's finished, she doesn't say anything, but just rushes forward to kiss him- lips pressed against his for a few seconds that feel like eternity with the way her head is spinning. Finally she pulls back and glances to Wynn, then out at the guests, letting out a small, nervous laugh. That's what a crit failed will save looks like, folks.]

I'm sorry. I know that I'm not supposed to... [She shakes her head and decides that she's not going to apologize for it any further. It's not her fault she's marrying someone who can make her feel like that. So instead she just takes a breath to calm her nerves so that she can return her own vows.]

The first day that I met you, I didn't realize just what this would become. It wasn't something that happened instantly. It came with time, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've always said that the Stargods lead me here, to the Knights, to my family. But they also brought me to you. And I thank them every day for that. I love you, Finnick- with all that I am. And I will continue loving you just as much as I do today until my last breath.

[wynn]

[ Y'ALL ARE FUCKING PRECIOUS. wynn just smiles very slightly, then looks out over the assembled. ] If any here know of a reason these two should not be wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace.

[bigbad]

[Aka does anyone know of a reason they want to be murdered is what Spike's eyes are saying as he glares around. This is true love, let's make it official already!]

[wynn]

[ wynn looks aside to all the rest of you punks ] Do we have the rings?

[graveflowers]

[ that would be amaranth, but since he isn't moving because he is a judgy ho, vi picks him up like an actual cat and moves forward, scolding him. ]

That is rude. [ holding him in one arm, she unties the bowtie and tugs the rings off, holding them out to wynn. one for myri and one for finnick ] Ta-da.

[witchwoman]

[Myri can't even manage to scold Amaranth this time, hearts in her eyes for days as she looks at Finnick. Vi's got the rings under control, so she's just going to let her play the human portion of the ring bearer with her familiar.]

[65]

[yeah finnick doesn't care about amaranth being a bitchy lil ho. he's just so happy to get married. yayyyyyy.]

[wynn]

Do you, Finnick Odair, 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?

[65]

I do.

[wynn]

And do you, Myrilandel de Tanos, 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?

[witchwoman]

[There are tears of happiness shining in her eyes as she nods and finds her voice to say:]

I do.
