Wedding! WIDE OPEN* -- muse will be pushy -- Gather Style (Tag Chuck, Faramir, Death, and friends)
*[Forward dated to Saturday. Late and slow tags welcome as always. The bride will tag everyone, unless requested not to. put tag requests for other people in subject line. State whether is before or after ceremony.]
The Ribbon is arrayed in flowers, and its door is wide open, there is food and drink, and music and dancing. Everyone is invited in, including children and dogs.
The bride wears a regular dress, not a wedding gown. Her dress has a simple peasant-style white top, and a blue patterned skirt, falling from a waist high enough that it skims easily over her five month pregnant belly. She's very happy, and wants to share it with everyone. She'll accost passers by to invite them in. Her groom is a short, insignificant looking man, wearing khakis and a button down, but judging by the way she's looking at him, he's prince charming, and superman rolled into one.
There aren't many trappings of the traditional American wedding. The bride's bouquet is a bunch of flowers and herbs from the garden behind the Ribbon. And it isn't thrown -- instead the bride will share a flower with every lady. There's no march down the aisle, no father giving away, just the two coming before the officiant, and Faramir standing up with the bride as her brother would at home. There's no Best Man's toast, just the elder brother offering words of wisdom.
There's no DJ or band, no father daughter, or couple's first dances, just a very large collection of music and a sound system, so guests can play what they want, and everyone dancing as they wish. The bride and groom both play and sing, Sam and Dave's Soothe Me, She's All I Need, and others on request.
There's no decorated wedding cake -- instead there's a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing, and a pineapple upside down cake, and pies (cherry, apple, and peach). There's no sit down meal, just sandwiches and finger foods. There is beer, and wine and soda and cider and lemonade and milk and iced tea in plenty. Anyone who shouldn't have alcohol (children, etc.) will find their glasses full of something non-alcoholic even if they try to sneak something else in.
The officiant at the wedding is rather more sepulchral in appearance than the usual judge or priest, but it's just two regular people getting married.
If the food and drink never runs out no matter how many helpings are served, and if the bride singing about love and happiness makes everyone who hears it feel loving and happy, that's doesn't mean there's anything unusual about them. >_>
