ceremony.

( Welcome to the wedding of Diluc, Kaeya and Amber! On the afternoon of Winter 24th, these three have decided to hold their ceremony and exchange their vows in the beautiful flowering fields. Hailing from a land worshipping the God of Wind, an open space with a pleasant breeze feels just right. As a nod to their home, handmade pinwheels can be spotted planted among the flowers, with red, blue, gold and white decorations lining the arch where they will be wed.

Waiting at the arch together are Diluc and Kaeya, anticipating the arrival of their bride. The music, provided by the fairies, begins to play when Amber walks down the aisle, with the long white trail of her dress following behind her. In her arms is a bouquet crafted by Ori, containing flowers in an arrangement of red, blue and white - a perfect representation of herself and her spouses. As another part of Ori's handiwork, she has flowers braided into her hair. She is escorted down the aisle by her best man, Aether, who hands her off into the arms of her soon-to-be husbands before the ceremony begins.

After pleasant words are spoken to honour their union, the three of them are all pronounced wed. With the all-clear to kiss their spouses: Kaeya and Diluc share a kiss, before each of them lean down to kiss their bride, Amber. The wind picks up right as they share a kiss, animating Amber's dress and blowing a several of the surrounding flowers into the sky. Whether it's a coincidence or what - the Outrider considers it a blessing from the God of Wind. There are visible smiles and laughter shared between this brand new married trio - it's apparent that they're all elated with their choice to marry each other. )

reception.

( When night begins to fall, it's party time! Naturally, the reception is being held at the business venue belonging to one of the grooms: Dämmerung Bar & Winery! The place is very well-lit and beautifully decorated. The bride has dressed down for the occasion into a lighter outfit, too (minus the bunny) - in order for her to move more freely and enjoy the party. Some of the decorations look incredibly on brand, as well. Food will be served once all of the guests have taken a seat at their table, marked with a pinwheel. At the open mic, guests are welcome to give speeches, if they like!

The meal - a three course meal featuring quality steak - is served with champagne to toast and a glass of wine or grape juice. Once food is consumed, the three spouses head up to cut their wedding cake together. In an impulsive burst of mischief, Kaeya spreads some icing onto Diluc's face and laughs at his husband's unamused scowl - to which Amber retaliates by asking Diluc to lean down in order for her to kiss it off his cheek. Kaeya then decides to smear icing on his own cheek to receive the same treatment from their wife!! These three are insufferable.

After food, cake and your beverage of choice - it's time to dance! The wine will be flowing all night long, because what kind of Ravngindr-Alberich wedding would it be otherwise? And those who choose not to drink are perfectly valid! In the manner of tradition, Amber will toss her bouquet! The guestbook is left open for pleasant messages, and Amber has crafted a wedding favour for all of the guests to take with them. Party on! Thank you for attending! )

[outride]

( It's party time!! Food, cake, booze, mingling and dancing all go here! )

[pyronic]

[A dance, you say? Allow Diluc to have the first, approaching Amber and outstretching a hand to her. Ah, his wifey.............]

Shall we?

[outride]

( HER HUSBANDY!! ) Yes, please! ( She places her hand into his, stepping onto the floor. Excuse her as a blush tickles her cheeks when they begin to move. )

You look so handsome. ( Like. Wow. How did she get not only one gorgeous husband, but two? None of this feels real. )

[pyronic]

[One hand settles low on Amber's back while the other lifts to caress her cheek. Diluc couldn't be happier and couldn't look much happier either, gently guiding her along.]

And you look more beautiful than I could've imagined. With each passing day, you charm me more than the last.

[outride]

Diluc ... ( She giggles - the corners of her eyes wrinkling as she smiles and laughs. )

C-Careful you don't make me cry. I can't let my mascara run again...! ( Because she absolutely cried during their ceremony. Wedding make-up is difficult! )

[pyronic]

Why not?

[Hehehe. Diluc knows she'd rather keep her makeup intact, but...]

You look beautiful both with and without makeup. If you cry, I'm right here to catch your tears.

a celebratory dwink with kaenya

[pyronic]

[After Diluc's gotten all the dancing out of his system, he turns to Kaeya who, unsurprisingly, is following up dances with booze. Diluc sighs.]

You can't shelve your alcoholism for a single day?

[That said, he shoos Kaeya's hand away from the bottle so he can pour it for him... and one for himself as well. Cheers, husband.]

[calla]

[ To no one's surprise, Kaeya has immediately beelined to the open bar. What's a better way to celebrate a joyous day with a glass of wine? Or a handful of glasses? He was just about to pour himself one when Diluc comes to judge him. Kaeya can only respond with his usual mischievous smile. ]

What can I say? Alcoholism is my middle name, my dear husband. [ Referring to Diluc as his husband makes his heart beat faster. Taking his glass, he holds it up so he can clink it against Diluc's. ] I'm glad to see that you're not being a stick in a mud today.

[pyronic]

[Clink! Diluc is going to slowly nurse his single glass of wine, thank you, but he'll be merciful on this day and allow Kaeya to drink as much as he likes... without getting too terribly shitfaced, that is.]

You only get married once. [divorce him and Die] I don't see the harm in having a little fun... so long as you don't get carried away.

[calla]

[ he's going to divorce diluc as soon as diluc cuts him off from drinking any more for the night. he'll be a loud blubbering mess on the floor, yelling about a divorce but only with diluc. he'll happily stay married with amber. ]

When do I ever get carried away?

[ Is there enough time to list all the moments? ]

[pyronic]

When don't you get carried away?

[But he says that with no small amount of fondness, making it implicitly clear for once that he likes even this side of Kaeya.]

How are you feeling? If my nerves were rattled, I imagine yours were too.

[hearthwarming]

[ Woops! She stumbled on her dress right at the bouquet toss and has found herself poised to catch it?! Unless someone tries to catch it purposefully, of course. Either way, if she ends up accidentally catching it, she will just. Laugh and hand it over to the closes person anyway. She doesn't need this bouquet!!

Otherwise, she will be drinking and chatting happily and occasionally casting spells to make the various floral arrangements around the reception bloom a little more brightly. ]

bouquet toss!

[pyronic]

[Diluc isn't much for lavishing the spotlight, so he's moved nearer to the crowd when it comes time for the bouquet toss to ensure all attention remains on Amber. Ah, and what do you know? Ori manages to catch the bouquet!

After the crowd celebrates her victory and disperses, Diluc steps in to personally congratulate her despite her handing off the bouquet.]

Looks like you'll be the next to marry... or you would be, had you not passed off the bouquet. Have you plans to marry already?

[hearthwarming]

Oh, um.

It's not anything like that, I just - I felt it should probably go to someone else...

[ ???? ]

[pyronic]

Are you sure about that?

[Ma'am.]

I find it hard to imagine no one has caught your eye. You needn't tell me if you don't want to, but regardless, I hope you've also found happiness on this island.

[hearthwarming]

[ Oh!! Oh, he thinks... Okay. She can't help but chuckle even as she's shaking her head. ]

That's - That's very kind of you to say, Diluc, but it's really alright! I just meant... I'm, ah... Already married, so...

[chronosynthesis]

[Syrlya's never actually been to a wedding before. His own affair with Trahearne was extremely casual, more of just a gathering--and Amber's is the first of three he's planned to attend.

He's dressed in a dress-code appropriate vest, over a white dress shirt and slacks, and a few pieces of jewelry all in silver (but otherwise don't match) that he cares to wear for sentimentally. Including the obvious wedding ring.

I.
He follows the pinwheels to his assigned spot (weddings really do have so many rules) and offers the other guests circling it a wide smile, prepared chat, eat, and drink with them.

II.
And once eating is done he joins the crowd circling the dance floor, and of course lining up for the bouquet. That he doesn't quite understand, and as Amber is turning to prepare to toss it, he leans over to whisper:] What does she throw the flowers for?

I! one last tree thread for the road... 🥺

[pyronic]

[This really is Amber's wedding, so while she basks in all the loving attention she wholly deserves, Diluc does the rounds to chat with the guests seated at the dinner table. It's no surprise to see Syrlya here, knowing he and Amber are well acquainted, and Diluc regards him with a warm smile. What a rare thing.]

Greetings, Syrlya. How are you enjoying the food?

[It is, in true Mondstadtian fashion, prime rib and potatoes with some seared asparagus on the side.]

🥺🥺🥺

[chronosynthesis]

[He is indeed mostly here for Amber. But he's happy to support Kaeya too and is... cordial with Diluc, at any rate.

So he offers a smile.] It's wonderful, thank you. I can see no effort was spared for the occasion.

[pyronic]

[Diluc has no intention of setting any trees on fire, at any rate. That's all water under the bridge, Diluc thinks, settling onto a chair beside Syrlya.]

Amber deserves that much, don't you think? I'm not one to lavish in the spotlight, but I'm glad she's enjoyed herself... and our guests too, of course.

[After all, you only get married once (Divorce Diluc And Die), so making sure it was a wedding to remember was Diluc's top priority.]

[chronosynthesis]

Of course. I trust you both will treat her very well in marriage. [Or else!

Well, anyway, he picks up his drink to hold it to Diluc in a toast. Even if Diluc doesn't have a glass.] To happiness for all three of you, then.

seeking out the newlyweds (the man ones

[pactmarshal]

[ It's hard being an introvert at a wedding. BUT.

Amber convinced him. Trahearne arms himself with a glass of champagne and quietly wanders the crowd in search of Kaeya and Diluc. Separately, maybe. Or perhaps at the same time. Who knows where he will find them. He owes both of them his congratulations, and hopefully...a mended friendship with Diluc. ]

here he is, Man #1

[pyronic]

[...Oh? Considering... things, Diluc hadn't expected Trahearne to approach him. Diluc had thought it best to leave him be after being the world's biggest pain in the grass, but when they meet by the dinner table, Diluc is visibly surprised to see him. That said, he doesn't look unhappy to see him, and that's progress when you're Diluc. Truthfully, this is an opportunity he'd been hoping for.]

...Ah, Trahearne. It's been quite some time.

he's man #2 actually

[pactmarshal]

[ Trahearne turns when he hears the voice. Oh, Diluc. You have no idea how shocked he was when he heard from Amber that she was marrying both of you. ]

There you are, Diluc. I was looking for you. [ He raises his glass with a small smile. ] Congratulations.

because he's a shit, u right

[pyronic]

[The shock is mutual, and while Diluc doesn't hesitate to meet Trahearne's toast, he's eager to call out the elephant in the room.]

Thank you, Trahearne. I'm surprised you've sought me out considering how our last conversation ended, but that's just as well. I owe you an apology for it.
