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! )

[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.

[pyronic]

...Indeed.

[Diluc raises his glass to meet Syrlya's toast, but!!]

I owe her quite a debt. She's opened my eyes in ways I'd never imagined they could be, and through her, I've had to question my own beliefs in a way I've only benefitted from. With that said, I believe I owe you an apology for the way I treated you before.

[chronosynthesis]

You do? [He raises a brow, not expecting that. He can take a guess which moment Diluc means even if Syrlya was more the awkward middleman of the affair.

Still, he'll let Diluc actually confirm it.] Which part of it?

[pyronic]

I do.

[And Syrlya knows it too, doesn't he? But it's evident he's left the floor open for Diluc to disclose and apologize for his numerous sins, so he'll do just that with no ounce of hesitation. This is important.]

All of it, naturally. I've treated you unfairly by trying to rope you into a problem you had no hand in creating. What's more, I've treated your partner quite unfairly. I feel I owe you an apology for that as well.

[But also! Also!!]

I intend to apologize to Trahearne. He took the brunt of my insecurity and poor behavior.

[Pussy really does change a man..................]

[chronosynthesis]

[Syrlya wouldn't know..........]

I won't say it wasn't petulant. [Because it was, and he only didn't relay it to Trahearne so as not to burden him. But he shouldn't be surprised Diluc was not on better behavior with Trahearne directly.]

I'm sure he would appreciate that, as his fondness for Kaeya was innocent. [Well... he did have a crush but given the way he talked about it, it must have been something he felt he could or would not pursue. But still, without intentions.] Well, I'll accept your apology on my end.
