I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways (WIDE OPEN)
Who: Vira-Lorr (
onerthes), Minako Aino (
loveandduty & YOU!
What: Minako and Vira-Lorr's Wedding
When: September 9th
Where: Vira-Lorr's House and backyard.
Content Warnings: Blood (During the Bonding Ritual), but otherwise nope!
Vira-Lorr and Minako Aino are getting married! Besides their public Network Post announcing it, invitations are put out as an open invite to anyone who wishes to come. Gifts aren't needed, but they're certainly welcome.
There is included only one request. The invitation is open, meaning that anyone could stop in. Because there are so many good reasons that some might have to dislike or wish harm on each other, Vira-Lorr includes with it a request that people place their pasts aside while they celebrate their wedding.
1) Getting Ready/Cleaning Up

Thanks to the difficulties that all Palebloods faced during this month, Vira-Lorr had put out a bit of a call for help, and many of their friends offered to be there to help with the setup. There were some refreshments set out for them in the days running up to the event. Tables had to be set up, lighting needed to be strung. Flowers had to be delivered from Makoto's florists and arranged as well. So much to do, so little time. A lunar orb had to be set up to power everything. Decorations were going to need to be festooned.
Vira-Lorr and Minako were around throughout. Once her eyesight was back, Minako would be able to fully help with the arrangements. They were certainly available to mingle among the guests and happiness was to be shared all around. The whole of the party was to be held mostly in the back yard of Vira-lorr's home, the woods serving as a backdrop on all sides. Sticks of incense were burning on the regular to ensure there was no trouble with local monsters. Seating was comfortable, with a wide set of table for most of the guests at the reception, along with seats facing the archway where the ritual would be performed.
Specifically, one of the arrangements that Vira-Lorr made sure happened were small tables, set back from the others. They were surrounded by screens of ivy and bamboo, allowing for privacy while dining and viewing the wedding itself. Knowing that a few guests might not want to mingle too widely, it felt a nice option to have.
2) The Refreshments

Food was set out and drinks were provided for all. Where possible, Vira-Lorr tried to use her friends' bakeries. It was sad to think that Lysithea wouldn't be here to cater for this, as she'd once hoped. Still, she liked to think she was there in spirit. Breads and fish were the dominant fare and there was but one rule with the food that was followed throughout. There were absolutely, positively, without question, NO MUSHROOMS to be found. Considering how many were around Vira-Lorr's house, it might have been surprising, but one of the two of them really didn't like Shitakes, so best to include only the food that they most loved, right? Most of the dishes were pastries of one sort or another, along with a fish entree for everyone to enjoy. And of course...

Drinks were available, though the sampling of wines were a little thin. There were only so many on offer in town, after all. Most of them were fruit wines of one variety or another. One of the local Trenchies, hired for the day, was serving behind the counter with the open bar. Non-alcoholic drinks were also provided, for those who preferred them.
3) The Ceremony (Warning for Blood Rite)

When it was time for the vows to be said, Vira-Lorr was positively beaming. Within the archway, at some point during the festivities, there was a strange but familiar Statue that appeared. Set up at the altar and the archway was a bowl with what looked like ... well, it was blood. There was no way around that. This part of the ceremony was the one devoted to the way things were done here in Trench. The ladies exchanged their vows to each other first, where all could see them and hear them, but afterwards was included a bonding ceremony.
For those who still remembered the bonding ceremonies that had been taught back in February, they would recognize it when the two pressed their hands to each other's shoulders. Vira-Lorr was just glad that paleblood neutralized the acids in her own. No wincing. No pain. It had worked safely. The shoulders, a physical bond, weren't what the Trenchies in attendance expected clearly, but Vira-Lorr smiled and looked at everyone.
"We value each other's privacy, and I trust Minako with my whole heart. We decided when we wanted to get married that we... we wanted a bond that would let us still feel our minds separate, but always be joined together. To us, this is that kind of bond." She'd let Minako add anything she needed. But it was clear that she was positively beaming.
4) Dancing and Mingling!

Once the food's been had and the vows have been said, it's time to celebrate! There's the cutting of the cake, and dances to be had. There was even a very real possibility that Minako had every intention to sing for their guests. Vira-Lorr wasn't about to stop her from doing that if she wished. When they weren't right out in the front, there was music being provided for people to dance to, as they pleased and folks were welcome to mingle long into the night. It was a rare moment where nothing seemed to be going wrong.
True, Never Mind had whatever it had in store for them, and just as true there'd just now been rumored occasional disappearances in town. But this was hopefully a moment for people to gather and to try and just relax, to have fun and remember that this was a place that they were now living, not simply surviving.

But Luz would undoubtly be looking after Lexi, however she could.
Luz would also be really happy to hear that. She understood that Rue would be someone that Lexi would think of fondly, just as Luz saved her first crush for one Amity Blight. But that was in the past, and this was their future.
"Of course! They're like murderous racoons, because they can open doors, and they're predators! They'd scare the heck out of me too!"
Lexi was a GREAT girlfriend! Luz felt very much lucky to have met her, and she couldn't stop thinking about how random and sweet everything had aligned for them!
And honestly, if Lexi ever said that to Luz, she would melt. Just right on the spot.
"If any of my friends don't think you're eye candy I'll tell them to get their eyes checked," Luz said loftily. "I know that taste is subjective but come on now."
She grinned. "I do? Elaborate, please!"
no subject
As Lexi would be doing for Luz. Honestly, a genuinely dangerous situation may be what it took to unlock her powers. Even though that wasn't a very appealing idea.
That was very true, though...each of them had crushes in the past, back home. But it was hard and kind of useless to continue to nurse a crush on someone you didn't know if you'd ever see again. Lexi was happy with the life she'd built here and hoped Luz was, too.
"And these are things that are just...there? Because raccoons are destructive enough, they used to always knock down our trash cans and spread garbage everywhere."
Lexi would be glad to hear that Luz felt that way. And the feeling was returned, they were close in every way they were ready for and Luz didn't make Lexi feel like a prude for not being ready for anything else the way Cassie's friends treated her.
Noo, no melting. Unless she could be re-formed shortly after?
And Lexi grinned, giggling. "Well, who am I to argue with a friend of the brides? That would be really rude."
She looked a little bashful. "Well...I feel like you make me able to face this place's challenges and enjoy the good parts just a little more."

It wouldn't be great, but Luz was pretty amped about the idea of helping her girlfriend reach her potential! They just had to see what would work, and hopefully it wouldn't be anything too dire (Luz doubted it though)!
Likewise, Luz hoped that Amity found someone special back home, even if it was her back in the Boiling Isles! Luz was here now and had a girlfriend she loved!
"I'll take racoons over raptors any day. Actually, I'd take raptors over some of the monsters I saw in Deerington, especially in its final days."
Lexi was Luz's first girlfriend: Luz herself was not about to jump the gun on anything that Lexi wasn't ready for, any more than SHE was. Luz liked their early stage cuddling and kissing, and if it evolved, it should in its own time and place.
Luz was very pliable, so yes!
"It would, and I know I'm pretty right anyway. You don't look at near perfection and take it lightly!"
Luz didn't believe in the idea of perfection, she wasn't that idealistic, but she knew a good thing when it was staring her in the face!
"I can't ask for anything better than that." Luz was definitely staring at her girlfriend meaningfully at those words. "And you make every day better just by being around you."
