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! )

[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.

[outride]

( Ehehe ... ) I know you will.

( What a wonderful thought. They're married, and he's her solace now. Along with Kaeya ... what a lucky woman she is. Amber closes her eyes and smiles warmly, swaying happily with the music. A tear does escape, but it's easy enough for her to swipe away with her thumb. )

Thank you. For everything. For today, for marrying me ... for allowing me to be your wife. I feel so lucky. I don't think I've ever felt so happy before. ( After suffering in silence for years, it's momental. )

[pyronic]

Mm. I should be the one thanking you.

[Amber manages to swipe away that tear, but Diluc is quick to lean in and follow it up with a kiss on her cheek.]

You've more than earned your happiness, Amber, and I want to thank you for helping me find mine. Had we not met, I doubt I'd ever know bliss like this.

[outride]

I feel exactly the same as you ... there you were, under my nose the entire time back home in Mondstadt, working behind the bar at Angel's Share ... to think you were the love of my life and I didn't even know it.

( Alongside Kaeya, of course. She giggles. )

I always did hear words of praise about you while running errands in Mond, you know. Everywhere I went, the women would sigh and swoon over how attractive you were. ( Another giggle! ) I suppose you can say I've learned the appeal ... here's hoping there won't be a mob after me when I go home! ( She takes a breath, and gazes deeply in his eyes. ) But there's so much more to you than your money and your looks. Wealth doesn't matter to me ... all that matters to me is love and family. And now with you and Kaeya, I have a family again. ( She might cry, actually. )

[pyronic]

[Oh dear... Yes, he's aware he garnered quite the reputation without even intending to. Diluc chuckles, tucking soft strands of hair back behind Amber's ear when the gentle breeze guides it astray.]

The three of us know too well how much it aches to lose family. I consider myself blessed to have married the two people who matter most to me, but more importantly, to finally have a family again. Amber... I can't wait to watch our family grow throughout the years.

[translation: babie time]

[outride]

( It's true: The three of them have some kind of hurt in their pasts. This ceremony is the promise of a bright future for all of them. For Diluc, Amber, Kaeya, and ...? )

Grow ... ( HEHEHEHEHE ) You mean...?

[pyronic]

[No need for ambiguity! Diluc's almost playful smile gives him away before his words do.]

You like children, don't you? Why don't we have a few of our own?

[outride]

( Amber turns the brightest shade of red possible. Wow!!! That's quite an accomplishment, considering all of the other ways these two have made her blush in this place. )

Oh...! ( She glances around sheepishly - it's not as if they're talking about anything dirty! But the implication is certainly there. ) Well, I always did hope to be a mother one day...! ( BLUSH. ) And in a way it's kind of expected after marriage, right...?

[pyronic]

[Hey! He's keeping it all above the belt during the ceremony!! But he does chuckle knowing they're both thinking along the same lines.]

I'd understand if you said you weren't prepared to make such a commitment just yet, of course. But I believe we're all on the same page here.

[And if Kaeya needs convincing? Don't worry. Diluc has a plan for that too.]

[outride]

( She can't stop smiling. And then, she nods. )

Y-Yeah ... we'll figure all the details out when we get home. ( Her grip on him tightens, and there's a flash of mischief in her eyes. ) I'll go back on birth control to keep things safe until we decide ... this'll be the last night we have without any responsibilities, hm? ( She squeezes his hand. Ohohohoho. Yeah, their wedding night is gonna be a riot, babey. )

[pyronic]

[Well well well. He wasn't gonna get spicy, but he'll say this so only Amber can hear:]

Let's take full advantage of it. Freedom like this is hard to come by even back home in the city of freedom.

[outride]

( Heheheheheheheheeeeeeeeee. )

You're telling me. We'll be back at work, won't we? No simple farm life ... ( whisper whisper ... ) No impulsive get-togethers ... ( is she sliding her hand up his arm and brushing the skin beneath his tux? mayhaps. ) We ought to savour it before it ends.

[pyronic]

[Ma'am? Ma'am?! Diluc knows he'll allow himself to get carried away if he doesn't curtail her playful advances right now, so he eases out of their dance to capture her hands as if he intends to arrest her.]

Don't get too carried away. I'll spoil you properly once all is said and done here, but until then? You only get married once, [divorce him and Die x2] so you'd better make the most of it.

[outride]

( Ruh roh!! She's been caught red handed! Amber can't help but laugh in glee. Jeez, she never imagined herself to be so forward like this. This place has certainly awakened a brand new side to her! Good luck being married to her and Kaeya. Is this what love and attraction does to a person? )

I so wasn't doing anything mischievous...! ( GASLIGHTS HER HUSBAND AFTER BEING MARRIED TO HIM FOR LESS THAN A DAY, IT'S FINE )

[pyronic]

[DAMN, THE DIVORCE PAPERS ARE ALREADY WRITING THEMSELVES,]

So you say, but I know you better than that.

[Diluc chuckles, releasing just one of her hands so he can lace their fingers together with the other.]

I think some of our guests are getting eager to sample the cake, so let's go cut it.

[outride]

Sounds great! Just ... one small thing, first.

( She bats her eyelashes. )

Would you give your new wife a kiss?

[pyronic]

[Ah... Diluc lights right up, a smile on his lips and a twinkle in his eye. Amber knows how to effortlessly brighten him up, doesn't she?]

I would love nothing more.

[He palms the curve of her jaw, holding her like one might hold a small nesting bird, and kisses her lips. He's always loved kissing her, but there's nothing more heartening than knowing the woman he's come to love so much is now his one and only wife.]

[outride]

( Diluc will feel Amber's lips curve into a smile when she kisses him back, unable to contain her joy. She doesn't deepen it - see, she can behave at times! Instead, she savours the moment, dark lashes fluttering when she casts an adoring gaze up at her husband after they break apart. )

I love you. ( Ah, she may never tire of telling him that. She offers him her arm so that they can go and head to the cake together. )

[pyronic]

[Don't worry, he's always tempted to deepen their kisses, but Diluc manages to resist while they're among friends. He'll have his "cake" and eat her too later, after all.

Taking her arm, Diluc walks them over to the cake and picks up the cake... sword...? Cake sword. Naturally, he hands it to Amber.]

Go ahead and make the first cut.

[Sure, Amber can't exactly cook, but surely she can slice a cake???]

[outride]

Okay!

( Look, she can't cook, but she can handle a weapon! Amber lowers the sword into the cake, allowing it to glide neatly through the fondant, making a perfect cut. Success! )

I think this is the part where you, Kaeya and I feed each other a piece of this slice, right?

[pyronic]

[Impressive! Should they ever happen upon a killer take, Diluc can rely on his wife to cleanly slice it in twain. With that, he nods.]

Indeed. Let me call him over.

[Diluc goes to do just that, returning with Kaeya not long after. Ugh. He smells like wine...]

Alright then. Allow me to do the honors of feeding Amber the first bite.

[Plating their piece of cake, Diluc trims off a bite of it with his fork and pops it into Amber's mouth.]
