🎤WHEN: Winter 20
🎤WHERE: Town Square
🎤WARNINGS: None! Will add if needed!

[ Welcome to the wedding of Gaku and Ellis Yaotome! The ceremony is scheduled to take place in the late afternoon so that the reception can lead right into the evening, making it the perfect time for dancing until the wee hours of the morning. The Town Square is done up nicely, with sleek benches decorated with beautiful flowers for a bit of flare.

The ceremony itself is not drawn out, as Gaku and Ellis are both the kind of people who tend to get right to the point. Both Gaku and Ellis are dressed in nicely tailored suits that invert each other's colors—Gaku's suit is a dark, cool-toned blue with a cream colored vest underneath, whereas Ellis has on a slate gray with a dark blue vest. Their vows are personal and sweet, filled only with promises that they know they can keep. Gaku is a little bit nervous and definitely emotional, but Ellis' calm attitude is contagious enough that he's able to rein his emotions in. Having Lucia by his side as his Best Woman is also a big help, her support meaning everything to him.

With a kiss to seal the deal, the reception is on! ]



[ The tables are neatly set up, and dinner is just as nice, with plenty of options between steak, pasta, and salads. Outside of Gaku and Ellis, along with two seats labeled Tenn Kujo and Ryunosuke Tsunashi right next to Gaku's side, everyone is free to sit wherever they like, and there is no strict schedule when it comes to the time they choose to eat. It seems that although Gaku and Ellis were strict on their fancy dress code, they don't want to keep to a tight schedule. The desserts are also plenty and located on a single table near the cake, an assortment of macarons, cream puffs, and cookies accompanying it.

The reception is filled with music and a light atmosphere, and Gaku will encourage people to dance. He'll also encourage all attendees to take photos at the designated spot. ]



[ Sometime after most people have eaten and at Gaku's insistence, Ellis will be tossing the bouquet! Sure, a lot of people are getting married in a short span of time, but why not? There will also be a guestbook for everyone to leave messages or polaroids taken at the photo wall! ]

( ooc: only one person can catch the bouquet, so that one is first come, first serve! otherwise, feel free to do whatever you like! )

[ She looks down at the cream puff, and then looks back up at him like, are you sure? But she does take it and smiles before she takes a bite.

From the look on her face alone, it's clear that she thinks it's delicious, too. She doesn't need words, signed or otherwise, to convey how much she likes it. Though she'll still offer her very expert, professional assessment after she's through with the cream puff: ]

"Delicious!"

[ And then she chuckles. ]

"How many of these have you had? Did you eat a proper meal, too?"

[framestory]

[ Indeed. How many did he have... ]

"I didn't count."

[ But in order to assauge Ori's possible worry: ]

"But I ate a meal. I didn't starve."

[hearthwarming]

[ She has to chuckle, at that. And she makes a mental note to herself to learn how to make cream puffs. Maybe the next time they'll get to meet after all of this, she can have some ready for him. ]

"That's good. I would have been worried if you hadn't... Plus the food was so delicious, it would have been a shame for you to have missed out on it!"

[ Her gaze flits down to his hand, where he wears his ring. ]

"How are you feeling?"

[framestory]

[ How is he feeling? Well... he takes a moment to think about it. ]

"It's nice, watching everyone have fun. I didn't think weddings could feel so busy."

[hearthwarming]

"I've never been to so many weddings all at once! But I have to admit, yours is one of the ones I have been looking forward to the most."

[ They are both special to her!! ]

"It's wonderful to see you so happy, Ellis."

[framestory]

[ Oh, she was... looking forward to it? Ellis looks surprised, even though he shouldn't be. It's not the fact that looking forward to it is strange for Ori--he knows it isn't. It's the fact that someone had been looking forward to it... the most, even. ]

"Seeing other people happy feels nice. I guess it's my turn, then."

[hearthwarming]

[ She nods, her smile widening enough to reach her eyes. ]

"Exactly! You and Gaku both have been supporting other people in your own way, haven't you? So now it's our turn to support you both!"

[framestory]

[ Supporting... He really did that, huh? Despite thinking that people are too much work. Many things sure happened throughout his several months in Crescentview. ]

"Having support is nice."

[ He pauses. ]

"It's weird, since I'm not used to having it."

[hearthwarming]

[ While Oriphi hadn't been around when many of the other farmers had arrived in the spring... She can only imagine the kind of adjustments Ellis must have had to make, given what she'd seen in that dream... ]

"Hopefully you won't ever have to go without it from now on. You have a husband, after all!"

[framestory]

[ A husband. In sickness and in health. Till death do you part.

Ellis wonders if the gravity of it all hasn't sunk in yet, because he really doesn't feel any different. ]

"That's true. Gaku is very supportive... I hope M-21 will be the same to you."

[hearthwarming]

[ If how she's been feeling in the days since she eloped with M-21 is any indication... It may take some time yet, for it all to truly sink in. She still fees like she's been floating around on a cloud. ]

"Don't worry. He already is. He's even started helping out at the flower shop!"

[ Can you picture that man surrounded by and working with flowers, Ellis!! ]

[framestory]

[ Ellis pretends to be shocked, gasping while covering his mouth and all... then he laughs. M-21 helping out at the flower shop... He can see it so easily for some reason. ]

"I'm really glad. I bet he's learning a lot from you too. I expect a flower proposal with meanings and stuff on an anniversary date."

[hearthwarming]

[ Oh. Haha. ABOUT THAT... She laughs shyly and rubs the back of her head for a moment as she tries to remember how to sign this: ]

"The proposal didn't quite play out like that, but maybe for an anniversary..."
