[he's going to try to keep this short but he's also wei wuxian, so...]

Lan Zhan and I are finally getting married this month! If you can see this, consider it your invitation to celebrate with us and see how beautiful he looks in red.

[strangers too, and there should probably be some caveat here about not causing any trouble. but when one of the grooms is the yiling patriarch, things like that don't automatically spring to mind.]

Oh, and if you're a priest or a shaman or a holy woman, you're doubly invited, otherwise I'm really going to have to find someone to do the ceremony.

[now for the real reason that he's here:]

It took us a little longer than we thought it would to get to this point. I was impatient, but now I’m grateful, because so many members of my family have arrived to see it. My brother Jiang Cheng is here now - Sect Leader Jiang Cheng. [yeah, just gonna slip that in there.] He helped raise his nephew from infancy so I hope he can finally take a break and have a little fun.

[does thinking about a man raising a small child make him more attractive? it worked in lan wangji's favor, he's assuming it will work for his brother too.]

Before he came, I relied solely on Chifeng-zun - eh, Nie Mingjue to most of you. He agreed to stand for me when I didn't have anyone else to count on. Spending time with him, I realized that he’s just as fair and just as ever, not to mention generous. How do you repay someone who helped make the happiest day of your life possible?

[does he mention his muscles too, would that be weird? perhaps the better question, would it make lan zhan jealous?

he clicks his tongue.]


It's hard to believe that neither of these upstanding men is married yet. Or even have a date to the wedding... [let that sink in. he’s hoping it does. wei wuxian sighs and shakes his head at the tragedy of it.] I keep telling myself that surely there's someone who would like to attend and are in need of escorts themselves.

Did I mention that there'll be food and alcohol? Plenty of both.

Oh, one last thing. I've seen a lot of questions about dating lately. You can always send them my way. As a married man, I'm happy to share my knowledge with the junio--err, others.

[and with that, the puca is (finally) out.]

Lan Zhan, how was that? Do you think-

( soft around the eyes, lan wangji offers a ghost of a smile. )

We both are. ( ...kind of? )

[You know, despite the fact she knows, intellectually, that she shouldn’t be, Sae’s surprised anyhow.] I can come too? Are you sure? [She smiles a little, looking a bit more excited.] Ribbons that match you and Wangji-nii.

[It takes her a moment to try and figure out what red veils have to do with anything. He HAD mentioned Wangji in a red outfit too...] Do you wear red for weddings where you’re from? Here, the bride wears white and the groom typically wears black.

[She looks a bit surprised and then smiles a little back.] And both the groom. [Although she’s a bit confused about all that, but also like... Whatever man. People are weird. Being alive is weird. She wanted to be together with her sister forever, does she have room to judge here? No.]

Although, that makes it a bit difficult... there are different traditions for a bride and for a groom... Are you just going to do all of them?

I trust you.

[And he does. Wei Wuxian has had some... well, questionable moments that Lan Xichen did not quite understand in the past, but now that everything has been made clearer, he really does trust his brother to Wei Wuxian. It's a little painful to let go of his younger brother, but they've already proven how much they support each other.

There's only a slight shadow crossing Xichen's face at the last part as he lowers his gaze and smiles.]


Are you certain that is wise?

[personal profile] thisisamazing 2020-07-20 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, sort of like that, I guess! [At least from what he knows of Sects from Lan Xichen.] I don't really know what weddings entail where you guys come from, but I'd be glad to help however you need me to! Getting married is- it's big, you guys must be excited.

[He loves love, okay.]
taciturnly: (i think about your voice)

[personal profile] taciturnly 2020-07-20 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
( people are definitely weird. lan wangji never pictured himself being married at all, let alone to another man. to wei wuxian, of all people. yet here he is, exuding sheer bliss. oh, how things have changed. )

To the best of our ability. Wei Ying insisted on following tradition. ( which requires some adaptation, but so far so good. cut-sleeve marriages aren't traditional to begin with, so. ) We are looking forward to your attendance.

[ he gets up and locks his door. ]

Well-- you certainly aren't looking!

They're soft, Wei-xiong.

[One might have expected an immediate response from Jiang Cheng when this post was clearly trying to set him up with someone. But there wasn't. And for a long time, there wasn't.

Finally though, he did respond and he actually doesn't look like he's ready to punch WuXian]


It seems like I won't actually need your help in getting a date for your wedding.

[Does he seem smug about it? Because he certainly is]

[Wow. Rude. Don't lock your brother out!]

Having my family is enough, I do not need to look for someone right now.

[Wei Wuxian, please! Bless this man. He's just too good.]

I think you should have tea.

[Ah, how to even express his thoughts. He frets over this for a bit before managing to adjust the privacy on his device.]

[Locked to Wei Wuxian]

I don't want to encourage any more disputes between anyone. Last time was already difficult for you both.
lotus_of_rage: (cql yes jiejie)

[personal profile] lotus_of_rage 2020-07-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Is that what that sounds like?

Well, it is. I have a date for your wedding.

[And he got it all on his own]

Oh, right, I know I'm the photog and everything, but am I allowed to bring a plus one?

[A beat, and then, because he's not sure either of them would know what a "plus one" is:]

I mean a date or a friend?

[ He almost doesn't respond. Yanli would surely prefer it if he let this one slide.

But... ]


Really? It's not enough to have your own wedding, you have to play matchmaker, too?

[It’s almost embarrassing just how happy those words make her, but she’s smiling even through her blushing.] it’ll be your happiest day regardless, so long as Wangji-nii is there.

[She supposed that makes sense though, sort of. The dead were often dressed in plain white too where she was from, so maybe it’s just got its associations there in other places... she’s not about to think too much about funerals and the like though, not right now. It’s supposed to be a happy occasion!]

I didn’t know it could at all! I saw a camera once—a man visits the village had one. I could take them too? [She’s also aware of the camera obscura and its exorcising abilities, but she’s still never been able to actually use a camera on its own. It’s kind of... exciting?]

Who else will be there? Will there be anyone close to my age...?
shinkunochou: (023)

[personal profile] shinkunochou 2020-07-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[like with Wei Wuxian’s casual inclusion of her, she looks pleasantly surprised that Wangji’s done so too.] ...Mm! [She nods, smiling.]

I didn’t really take him as the traditional type... I thought that’s be more on Wangji-nii.

[ he's seen a few matchmaking disasters his Jiujiu has gone through during Jin Ling's childhood. good luck, Wei Wuxian. but also he can't help himself: ]

You, giving advice?

[ you're just embarrassing. ]

So - Wei-xiong is simply helping you to look so the burden is off of your shoulders! I'm only agreeing that you're very qualified and worthy of a match!

[personal profile] lotus_of_rage 2020-07-20 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I did. Is that so surprising?

[He rattles the door handle a little before he gives up.]

You're both meddlesome! What if I started trying to match you? Huh? [A threat that Wei Wuxian is safe from because he's getting married but you, Nie Huaisang!! Okay he wouldn't actually, but still.]
