🎤WHO: Gaku and Ellis Yaotome! Open to everyone! Gaku has personally handed out invitations to every single person!
🎤WHAT: Wedding!!
🎤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! )

[ Waiting outside the venue is Childe, outfitted in an exorbitantly long coat (very extra of him), not lacking in so much hokeyness that he won't wave Ellis over as soon as the opportunity presents itself. It's when their eyes meet that he speaks up. ]

Remember what you told me before? [ The matter of Ellis's unreality is something that's preoccupied for a while. ] I have an answer for you now.

[ Took him long enough to wise up to it, so he may as well spill the beans. ]

Want to hear it?

[framestory]

[ Wow, it's on the same tier as Kaeya's fluff. He didn't expect Childe to have the answer for him now, but he nods. Yes, he wants to hear it. Let it rip. ]

[sluice]

[ Here's hoping that he doesn't absolutely ruin the moment, as he reaches out of one of these humungous pockets to retrieve his Kamera and snap a picture. Click, click!

With that, he'll wait for the picture to develop, wiggling it a little, before he cheerfully holds it out. It's a pretty sight, Ellis haloed in so much light where he's stepped from the main gathering. ]

You'll know you're real now, because you'll always be able to see yourself reflected in someone else's heart. [ Sorry, Childe has no idea about the eye trauma, but he breezes on nonetheless. ] You'll be able to feel that you matter. You won't disappear, because I'll remember you.

[ Ellis is, of course, irreplaceable and special, the only one in the world that could make these choices, whether to marry Gaku or take the next step forward. ]

The world would be a much darker place without you.

[framestory]

[ Maybe with this picture, he can fool people into thinking he's some sort of divine existence. He looks at it a little more before holding it back out. Childe wants this back, right? Childe's words make Ellis smile a little though. ]

I didn't think you could be so cheesy. I still appreciate it though.

[sluice]

[ Just watch him go back and forget [REDACTED] happened because genshin lore waits for no man. Childe steps away, so unless Ellis is going to shove it back into his hands, he'll have to keep it. ]

What, that's all? [ All of this hokeyness, and for what? ] What a heartless guy. I can be plenty of things!

[ A murderer, a jackass, a brother. He's very talented that way. ]

So can you.

[framestory]

[ This photo is his now. He tucks it inside the pocket of his suit. ]

You sure know how to make someone feel better about themselves. You're many things, and I'd say you're one of the more interesting people here.

[sluice]

I aim to impress! Here's hoping I'll be more than interesting to you someday. [ Maybe even stupendous? Someone's got a big head. ] Don't go forgetting me now. If you're gonna talk like that, I want another picture.

[ One with him and the lovely couple, supposing time and the opportunity permits itself. ]

You'll definitely let me keep that one, right?

[framestory]

[ He supposes that's fair, so he nods regarding the picture. ]

It's hard to forget someone who has a killing reflex.

[sluice]

I wouldn't want to do away with a friend.

[ Here comes the snapshot, angled in to take the picture. Once, then twice. He's shaking out the polaroids in the snow, before he hands Ellis his own copy. ]

Things could've ended a lot differently for us, comrade. I'm glad they didn't.
