Content Warnings: Will be posted as needed in top levels and comments.
It had been just over a month since their announcement, since the night that Makoto had looked into Usagi's eyes and asked her to be with her here as long as they could. For the two of them to form a different, deeper bond, than the friendship and partnership that they had as friends and senshi. Today was the day that Makoto had dreamed about for so many nights through the years, being a June bride and becoming the perfect bride. The night was quiet compared to the prior weeks' chaos with the hurricane. The skies are clear with a silver crescent moon hanging overhead.
They had opted for a later ceremony so that more might be able to make it, and to allow for the temperature to cool a little, but mainly because it felt right to confess their love for one another under that moon. Among the stars and with their friends that came from so many different worlds and galaxies, and yet they had all been drawn together, the same way that Makoto and Usagi had always been drawn to one another.
Preparations:
There are several who offered to help with the preparations that were left the day of, wiping down tables, setting up chairs, checking strings of lights, candles to be lit, and of course, the cooking since the bride-to-be had been barred from the kitchen.
Even though she wasn't supposed to Makoto could be caught and shooed off every so often, and Usagi marveled at all of it and would have to be reminded about her own list of things to prepare herself. Both of them needing to do the standard hair, make-up, dress, and pictures. But both were just so happy and had too much energy to stay inside very long.
Mingling & pre-ceremony:
Welcome guests, as they arrived, would be several opportunities to pass the time before the nuptials, including a photo station with a moon and castle, light hors d'oeuvre to tide them over until the reception dinner, a chance to sign a guest long and of course mingle with the other guests and finding their seat. The selection of snacks ranged from chocolate-dipped strawberries to small cakes, and other sweets along with fresh fruits that were carved cutely into bunnies and other shapes.
The ceremony:
As the sun set, the ceremony began with Usagi emerging in her flowing gown that seemed to almost float along with her as she walked down the aisle, the light catching every petal of the dress and seeming to almost glow, along with the beauty of Usagi's own skin. And soon after she was followed by Makoto in a laced gown that hugged her a little closer and then drifted out as her long legs strode slowly up the aisle, hands holding the bouquet of flowers that had been selected. Her hair flowed freely down her back. The ceremony began once both were ready and present, Makoto taking Usagi's hand and starting the vows.
Reception:
Once the ceremony was over, there was of course the matter of the cake and the reception. Once the vows and the rings had been exchanged, Makoto and Usagi made their way with their friends to the reception where the first order of business was to cut the wedding cake. A large multilayer cake that had been prepared by Snow White. The green ribbon and the roses matched the colors and the decorations that were used throughout the ceremony and that were very much reminiscent of Makoto and Usagi. The inside was just as much a blend of the two; vanilla frosting, vanilla cake, and then a layer with chocolate filling and one strawberry jam filling. It certainly made for an interesting first bite between the brides feeding each other the initial piece. And a small impromptu second kiss to get a bit of runaway jam.
Of course with the cake there was dinner! As well as drinks of all kinds for all ages, and more desserts. And to work off all of the sweets, was the dancefloor which had been set out, along with a pretty interesting selection of music which they'd managed to find in the last month, including a few live performances here and there.
Both brides can be found at the reception, mingling among those who came, thanking them for everything and celebrating how wonderful the night was going.

"Zero G?! Wow! Yeah, you DO have to show me that! I've actually been training a little more with Paimon, the person in Peter! Also, I kinda got possessed by an evil Sith lord a few months back, so I might have...probably picked up something? I hope not."
Luz didn't even want to think about that. Also, Cider RULED, especially if you had it fresh and dark!
"Thanks! I wish you could have been there, it was one of the best days I've had in a while! I know its not for everyone though. I mean sure, some people can do it and its very meaningful, but I get that it's not the easiest thing, to share that much with someone."
no subject
And honestly? It's for the better. As much as Ochako adore her friend, he's simply too much in his own head for her to sort of slot in comfortably. He has things he needs to work on, things he needs to change. Ochako is much happier being Deku's friend than she is fawning over a romance that was doomed from the start.
"Ehehe, of course!! It's really just making use of my quirk, but it's really fun to go up high sometimes, and my boots and wires let me propel and maneuver now." There's also little latches on her wrist guards that are specifically for people to hold onto and free up her hands, so. "Ah...eh? I-I see. It seems I missed a lot before coming back here, ahaha..."
Definitely of the less enjoyable things about Trench - the craziness. And how things can turn dark or go south at the drop of a hat. Definitely did not miss that at all.
"Mm, well...if you're both comfortable, and happy with the decision, it's yours to make, ne? It's not my or anyone else's place to say anything otherwise, y'know? But I know there's things both me and Katsuki want to keep to ourselves, and I respect that, so it's probably not for us. ...Buuut that doesn't mean I don't want to see pictures of the ceremony!! Ah, that's right, I should be taking pictures of the reception here, too!" Brb, she's fishing in her little side purse for a disposable.
no subject
"I have two different ways to fly, but I'd still like to do it like you do! I still need to rely on other things to make that happen, but you? You can do it all on your own!"
Here Luz just laughed. "Look, miss some of the crazy stuff, come back for the good stuff! And don't worry, we DO have some pictures, although I'm pretty wet in some of them. I wasn't going to miss a water fight, dedication ceremony or not!"
She nodded, smiling. "I get that. It's a big decision, and not one to make lightly. Not everyone can get into a person's head and be fine with it."
no subject
"Ehehe, well, technically mine isn't really flying. If I didn't have all my Support Gear, it'd just be floating around. That's how Zero Gravity works, after all - both my quirk and the actual thing. I added the additions to my suit for movement."
It wouldn't really be all that helpful for her being a Rescue Hero if she could get to someone as quickly as possible, right? The additions were a necessity, and Hatsune-san actually did a really good job with the specs. She's...eccentric, but reliable. Hopefully she, any everyone else, is doing okay...
"No lie, I'm actually really happy I came back to things being, well...about as 'normal' as Trench can be, but so many nice things happening, or have happened! I'd really love to see those pictures sometime, and we need to catch up in general. I'm going to be busy for the next few weeks - it's, um...i-it's my and Bakugou's anniversary at the end of June, hehe. B-But after that, I'll be free!" Until Deku's birthday party mid-July, but you know.
"Mm, it just depends on the person, I think. Bakugou's more private than most people, and I respect that. He doesn't have to tell me everything if it makes him uncomfortable. I trust him no matter what - just like you and your girlfriend, Luz-san. You trust her in a different way, and that's still beautiful. Ne, but let's get some snacks or something, I'm getting hungry again!"
no subject
A year ago, it was coming HERE, so who knew what was going to happen next?
"Either way, I do sort of wish I could be floating myself! But then again, I guess I've gotten pretty used to that being managed by the staff anyway. So for you, its the suit that keeps you from floating away. It's still pretty neat though!"
Luz chuckled and clapped her hands together. "No way! I'll have to make sure to get you guys something at the end of the month then! It's really nice that these relationships persist even when the world around us can be pretty difficult."
Relationships, after all, took work, and with all that happened, either eventually ended or just allowed those involved to mature with the world around them.
"Good point! And honestly, I just can't wait to continue living with and learning more about her anyway! Oh, and I've seen the snack spread. I think I'll join you!"
gonna wrap here!! ♥
"Mm, a little bit, yeah." Ochako nods. "When I'm floating, I'm pretty much at the mercy of any wind currents or updrafts unless I release my quirk myself. That can be dangerous, so I added an upgrade to my costume's boots to include some jet boosters in the heels for movement."
Oh goodness! Laughing again, the young brunette holds up her hands and shakes her head, a little embarrassed by the declaration. That wasn't--...jeez, she really doesn't have to get her anything!! It's really not a big deal (it is, she's very happy about it), and she and Katsuki are probably only going to hang out like they usually do, or something...
"You really don't have to!! Just a card and some well wishes is fine!" She really doesn't need much anyway...and isn't used to getting gifts like this, either. It's very sweet, but she feels a little embarrassed, too. "Mm, then let's take a look before it's all gone, ne?"
Ochako offers her hand, tugging Luz along to get some tasty treats. What a wonderful day...her cheeks are going to hurt by the end of it from smiling so much. ♥
That's good! Thanks for the thread! It's fun to do them again!
