Who: Ezreal, Lux and you!
Where: Citadel
When: Backdated to 12/28
Warnings: None
What: A secret ceremony in Citadel, tell your friends



The great tree of Citadel, still in bloom despite the season, seemed far more beautiful that night than it had before. Covered in flowers of muted pinks, lavenders and whites, the space they chose practically glowed that evening. Gently heated with the help of a few gracious fire-types, what the bride-to-be believed would be a smaller, intimate ceremony and meager reception, instead gave way to a large gathering of friends and well-wishers. Word spread about their little to-do far more than either party had anticipated, making it all the more special. Ezreal might say that it was a way to collectively give Lux’s father the finger, judging from the turnout--loudly, even--but really, both were grateful.

The ceremony was short, sweet, and maybe even a bit surprisingly tearful, and while the reason for coming together was certainly important, the real fun began after the pomp and circumstance ended. The bride was radiant, the groom was surprisingly dashing considering who it was, and best of all, everything was said and done in a little over a half hour.

Those looking for good food and wine, or entertainment, would not be disappointed. The couple somehow managed to figure out a way to feed music through the entirety of the space, through a blueprint that Yosuke so graciously shared with a certain industrious Engineer, and foods from all different settlements were out and on display, ready to be eaten. There was ample room to dance, socialize, eat; and, for those who weren’t good at being social without certain coaxing, the bar was open to all, the bartender told to look the other way should they notice someone who might not be able to partake normally, for just this one night.

And what a night it would be. They had the space until dawn, after all.

GENERAL MINGLE

[rememberher]

[ Guests are encouraged to look around the grounds, converse and enjoy a number of hor d'oeuvres set aside for snacking. While Ezreal will be out and about, talking to incoming guests (see: showing off), Lux will be hidden away somewhere else. The more investigative sorts might be able to find her, however.

After the ceremony, both Ezreal and Lux will be floating around while dinner is prepared, greeting guests and thanking them for attending. ]

[9tailedtemptress]

[Ahri did her best to locate both once she arrived and left a big decoration of wild flowers her and her two buddies picked themselves from the forests. Catching unto Ezreal a lot quicker, she gave him a nice big hug and smiled.]

Congratulations! This is so amazing, much cooler than you described it. I'm very happy for you~

---

[Once she manages to find Lux, she offers a wide smile and a cheer.]

Hey there! Just wanted to offer my congratulations~ Everything seems pretty amazing!

[indy_wannabe]

Thanks! It's been a long time coming!

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Since Lenna is one of the bridesmaids, she is presumably privy to Lux's location before the ceremony. Once she's dressed and ready and all there is left to do is wait, she manages to get her alone for a few minutes for a little pre-wedding girl talk.]

Lux, you're going to be such a beautiful bride.

[Smiling brightly, she gently clasps her friends hands, squeezing them gently.]

I'm so happy for you.

[rememberher]

[ Sitting in one of the dressing rooms, Lux looks a bit stiff. She wasn't having second thoughts--she would never have second thoughts, not about this--but there were certainly things on her mind. ]

...You really think so?

[ She sounded nervous. ]

[wishingalone]

[Naturally, Mami is looking for the happy couple. Being Lux's friend, it wouldn't do to not congratulate her. For that matter, it wouldn't do to not speak with Ezreal and wish him well. (And maybe judge.)]

[(A little.)]

[She's wearing a shiny golden dress, which is reasonable for someone attending a wedding; she has a few wing-like patterns sewn into it, as a Valkyrie should. She also has earrings and barrettes in her hair. And her mother's locket.]

[She's searching, but she's not ruling out talking to others, too. And she's grabbing the occasional snack from a tray.]

[rememberher]

[ In her adventure around the venue, Mami might catch a glimpse of someone in white, albeit briefly. They appear to be moving quickly, and a bit stiffly. An intruder, maybe?! ]

sometime after she speaks with lux i think

[punchesyu]

[He finally catches her when she's getting herself something to snack on. He made himself look just as good to match Mami for the wedding; a tux with a matching golden tie to her already shining dress. Custom made of course, which cost him a lot more than he was expecting to dish out, because of the special make of the jacket and shirt. An opening in the back let his wings fan out comfortably behind him, buttoned back up around his neck so the white undershirt didn't show despite the different design.]

Yo, did you find Lux yet?

[He says as he takes a few snacks off the table himself to munch on.]

[comparative_insanity]

[Look, of course Fai won't rest until he's found Lux before the wedding. He looks a lot less starved by now, even if a couple of scars remain, and the jagged one across his left eye will probably never fade. Still, he looks delighted to see her, all dark blue velvet tuxedo and silk shirt, his new wings folded neatly on his back, his face lit up with smiles - literally, actually. The lavender glow from his skin seems to leave faint trails in the air as he moves.]

That whole custom about kissing the bride is for after the ceremony, isn't it? Then again, maybe that's a faux pas, coming from me?

[Still teasing, but warm and affectionate, light enough to make up for the absence he always seems to carry with him now.]

[rememberher]

[ It will take some doing, as the bride is secreted away within one of the inner rooms of the venue. Hearing someone open the door, she quickly stands, a brush still in her hand. Turning quickly, she looks a bit startled, then eases once she sees the taller blond standing there.

She smiles as well, setting down her brush and pushing a few strands of hair back over her shoulder. Of course he would find her here. ]

When were you ever one to care about a faux pas? Although I think the groom might have a few words with you.

After

[child_of_luv]

[Minako was basking in the glow of a lovely wedding ceremony. She always felt so happy when two people would hook up and make a happy life together. She was just mingling about the crowd, enjoying the moment.]

DINNER/CAKE

[rememberher]

[ With a number of dishes from various places around the known world, there’s a little bit of something for everyone. There even appears to be some kind of spicy looking dish, set aside from the others, for the truly adventurous, as well as a plate of gray, gelatinous… something, with the label FOR EZREAL placed above the plate of what may or may not be magikarp brains (it's not), likely as a joke of some kind. Seating for dinner is not assigned, and attendees are encouraged to sit with people they may not know. ]

[senpaidol]

[Rise spends a good amount of time eyeing that adventurous dish. She can smell the spiciness from six feet away, so it has to be good, right?]

[Other than that, she's mostly enjoying the sheer variety of food. She figures a wedding is clearly the most opportune time to break her diet, loves trying things from all around the world, and most importantly.]

Ooh, vegetarian stuff at a Citadel party. I gotta thank whoever catered this!

[indy_wannabe]

[Ezreal smoothly ignored the whatever the hell it was in favor of grazing and mingling with guests. With all the good food (that he was paying for) he didn't want to commit to anything major]

TOASTS

[rememberher]

[ Everyone loves giving a toast, especially when there is an open bar. After the first few planned speeches, members are encouraged to say a few nice things about the couple. Whether or not they actually know the couple. ]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka Tenoh, leader of the Union branch of the Divine Defense Force, does not give toasts. Haruka Tenoh, tuxedo-clad star of the Union Divine Theater, however...decides giving the people what they want (and the people, especially girls, keep staring at her) is less of a hassle than making herself scarce. She stands, drink in hand. ]

This is a lovely day. In the midst of so much uncertainty, we're celebrating the simple truths that never change: that sometimes, two people find each other, and are the better for it.

[ A prickle of an idea that should be occurring to her, but isn't, tickles the back of her mind. Ignoring it, she presses on. ] I can't claim a close acquaintance to either of you....but my world has been brightened with every sighting of someone who believes in where we've been and is working hard to see we get somewhere even better.

[ And dives through ruins so Haruka doesn't have to. She hefts her glass. ]

Here's to Lux and her lucky man. You're doing the city a disservice by taking in that Skitty.

[ Guests at weddings are probably not supposed to wink at the bride, but this is likely Haruka's last chance to do so. She won't waste it. ]

[comparative_insanity]

[When Fai taps his glass and stands up, he can tell that his mother is giving him a Look without even turning in that direction. His parents had really wanted to come and show their support, as awkward as they were in this partly not entirely august company. He's grateful, but they're also going to have to put up with Fai not giving a damn about unwritten social rules on this particular occasion.

Now he beams at the entire room, and in particular the happy couple.]

Now, I don't know how commonplace it is that a girl's former fiancé stands up and proposes a toast at her wedding - at least, unless he's doing it out of spite. But I hope I'm not that kind of former fiancé. Besi~ides, I think I'd probably get hell from my boyfriend.

[He grins, and raises his glass in the direction of Ezreal and Lux, eyes bright with affection and amusement.]

Here's to Lux marrying exactly who she wants to marry - and not me! And doing what she wants to do - and again, not me, thank the Savior. [He's not even sorry.]

DANCING/BOUQUET/OPEN BAR

[rememberher]

[ The rest of the night is open to the guests. With alcohol flowing relatively freely, people are encouraged to socialize and have fun! This is a party after all! Take advantage of the music, or the dance floor, or the free-flowing alcohol! Word is that the bride has something special planned for the bouquet, but won’t say just yet. You’ll just have to wait to find out. ]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[You better believe Lenna is in the line for that bouquet. She's trying to maintain an air of propriety and look like she's not interested, but make no mistake - she's totally interested.]

open!

[sparrowfeathered]

[Rose doesn't know the bride and groom, of course. She knows someone who knows the bride and groom. She made it work.]

[...mostly because it's been awhile since she's been to Citadel. It's gorgeous here. And, of course, Rose is eager to try their liquor. She lifts up a mug overflowing with mead.]

Hell yeah! To our happy couple!

[Then she slams some back.]

[niepokonany]

[If there's an excuse to get dressed up and dance -- or to drink like a water-type, for that matter -- Feliks is all over it. This is a party, after all, and he's going to get out there and enjoy it!]

[On the dance floor, he's like a giggly, sparkling little whirlwind, liable to suddenly drag anyone who's near him when he doesn't have a dance partner along with him with little to no warning. Don't know how to dance? Whatever, who cares about knowing how to do things? Not Feliks, that's for sure.]

[And it might not be strictly traditional, but when word starts going out through the guests about the whole bouquet thing... Well, he might as well join the gathered group and try for it, right? Feliks is a big believer in giving things a try.]

[senpaidol]

[Rise has made a decision about her future marriage timing and she is definitely sticking to it. She is definitely not hovering around the bouquet-tossing area and trying to use her powers to gauge where Lux is going to throw it even though it doesn't work that way. See? She's just standing here, casually, sipping a very sugary drink.]

OPEN

[rememberher]

[ Feel free to come up with your own prompts here! ]

Open to all~

[9tailedtemptress]

[Ahri of course showed up! Not just because she promised Ezreal, but because she wouldn't miss out on a celebration like this one. Not only was she incredibly curious, but she also wanted to support two of the people who where nice to her ever since her arrival to Union.

With that said, after saying her greetings and cheering and congratulations; you could find her just about everywhere. She ate, she danced and she drank and was loving all of it! So if you want to hang with the flirty Ninetails, have at it!]

open to all

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Being a bridesmaid keeps Lenna busy before and during the ceremony, but once the party is in full swing she has some time to relax and enjoy herself. She's dressed in the traditional blue and silver of Lux's house, and looking as proud as anything to be part of her friend's big day.

She can mostly be found milling about the party looking for people she knows, but it's also possible to run into her near the refreshment table or at the edge of the dance floor. She's perfectly happy to get out there and join the fun, but as of the current moment she lacks a partner.]
