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.

[ 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. ]

[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.]

[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.

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 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.

[wynn]

Finnick, please place the ring on Myrilandel's left hand, and repeat these words.

"With this ring, I thee wed and with it I bestow all of the treasures of my mind, heart and hands."

[65]

[aw yeah putting the ring on myri's hand like a boss.] With this ring, I thee wed and with it I bestow all of the treasures of my mind, heart and hands.

[wynn]

Myrilandel, please place the ring on Finnick's left hand, and repeat these words.

"With this ring, I thee wed and with it I bestow all of the treasures of my mind, heart and hands."

[witchwoman]

[She takes Finnick's ring and slips it onto his finger, her own hands shaking just a bit.]

With this ring, I thee wed and with it I bestow all of the treasures of my mind, heart and hands.

[wynn]

Finnick and Myrilandel, 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.

You may now kiss the bride.

[65]

[aww yeah he's so happy to kiss the bride!! even if she jumped the gun and kissed him during their vows. IT'S STILL EXCITING NOW THAT WYNN IS TELLING HIM TO DO IT, OKAY. so much kissing.]

[socialgraces]

[ francesca doesn't cry in public. ever.

except today, apparently, as she crit fails her will save, and a single manly tear slides down cheek. she quickly brushes it away, however, beaming at her friends' happiness. being this close to marriage does things to her, ok. ]
