[Aleph looks remarkably pleased.]

So, does anyone know if their homes have non-religious marriages and wedding ceremonies? My girlfriend April - fiancee April now - proposed to me, and... well, we're both from post-apocalyptic worlds, hers doesn't have much in the way of traditions and mine had people who would gut you for trying to pervert a holy ceremony. I've never actually attended a wedding, either, so any help here would be nice.

Also nutrition bars are a terrible substitute for cake. At least I'm sure there's no connection between nutrition bars and Him.

I hope you all have a great day, Animus.

... M-maybe I could make a cake out of the bars? [She's going to be blushing for weeks probably.]

[alephbet]

Is the bride supposed to do work?

[technologic]

[Yep, blushing for weeks.]

... T-the b-b-bride could do a little bit of it?

[technologic]

Yeah, guess it would. Guess it might be better to wait until there is stuff to make actual cakes with.

[It's been too long since Diarmuid has last had the chance to talk to Aleph, and with how bad things have been in the Tower lately, he is glad to have something happy to speak to the man about.]

Aleph, you have my most sincere congratulations! I just met April. She helped me with getting the Tower Guide out, but I didn't know you two were so close. Please send my congratulations to her as well!

I don't have a lot of wedding advice for you considering how love has gone for me, but if I may suggest whatever you choose, make sure it means a lot to you and to April. It doesn't need to be something big. It doesn't need to be something formal. It just needs to be something that accurately reflects how you feel about each other since it's your love for each other that you are celebrating.

I will tell her, thank you - and that seems doable. Big things are hard to arrange here, but I don't think we'll let that stop us.

How have you been since we last talked?

Video

[oathshackledbird]

No, I don't expect that you will. I know I don't know April that well yet, but neither of you seem like the kind to let things get in your way. Especially since it is something so important to you both.

[Aleph's question gives Diarmuid pause. There is no way he can say things have been okay since the last time they spoke, but the last thing he wants to do is in any way dampen the man's happy mood. There is far too little joy in Tower for that.]

Things...have been rough, but at the same time, I am probably better now than I have been since I arrived here. Steps have been taken forward and back. It's pretty much how things in the Tower go, wouldn't you say?

uh i think theres a lot of like fancy decorations
and everyone dresses really nice even if youre not actually doing anything and the girls wear fancy white dresses that the bride cries and gets angrier than godzilla over?
and the grooms have to wear the right colored bowtie or shell like claw his eyes out
and the foods really expensive but i think thats the only part anyone ever cares about :V
idk i mostly got that from reality tv

[alephbet]

Thanks, Jade. I'll probably only adopt some of those conventions.

fuck you my ideas are the bomb diggity

[Xion's voice is very quiet]

I'm not... really familiar with wedding traditions but... I can tell you about the last one that was in the Tower, if that'll help.

[There's a pause, the she adds]

You should be careful. The admins... might be interested. Not always a bad interested but... you should know.

[She knows that Ruana interfered last time, kept the other admins - particularly Jason - from doing anything. She's not so sure that'll be the case this time around, especially with Ruana asleep and Jason in charge]

voice;

[alephbet]

I remember a little, but... any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

voice;

[attheclocktower]

[She's silent for a little while]

It was on one of the meadow floors and... the bride and groom, Elena and Reno, they got Gandalf to... to do the ceremony. Gandalf isn't here anymore though. They asked their friends to attend and... someone [read: Xion] asked others to help make sure the admins didn't try anything, though... Ruana said she wouldn't let anything happen.

Ruana and Zo were there, that time. They didn't do anything, they actually made the ceremony really nice. But Ganon tried to attack them at the end of it and nearly hurt everyone else.

[Her voice gets a little thick here]

They had a best man and a flower girl, I remember. [Then there's a quiet laugh] The groom and... a friend of his played a joke on the bride, but I wouldn't do that if I were you.

[She trails off there]

I'm sorry, I'm probably not explaining this well.

Congratulations, Aleph. I am happy to hear that you two are going to be married. It is always nice to see love, especially in this place. I have seen non-religious marriages and wedding ceremonies before. Those marriages usually just focused on the unity of two people.

As for customs..it is usually common for the men and women to wear formal gowns, for the husband and wife to-be to gather their friends and family for a feast the day or night before the wedding, and for there to be a ring bearer and a few flower girls. There is usually a wedding cake and a feast afterwards..as well as parties before the wedding for the men and women to have separately before the wedding.

It is also common for those in the wedding to throw rice at the couple when they are married for good luck. I am not sure how many residents will be able to do that though. Be careful though, Aleph. A few months ago, there was a wedding here in the Tower and the Administrators showed up, with one person trying to attack them. You might want to give your guests fair warning.

[Video]

[alephbet]

Oh, thank you. I'll definitely warn our guests if there are any.

[Video]

[lightofhumanity]

You are welcome. I do not know if anyone shall try to repeat the incident, but it is always best to be prepared. Let me know if you need any further help and give my best to April.

[crouching_sin]

[... Welp. He chuckles a little bit.]

I think I can help you two come up with something, as well as the decorations and such.

Congratulations, you two.

voice;

[alephbet]

Thank you. That's very kind.

[savedbyasong]

Congratulations. [His voice is quiet, like Xion he is also thinking of Elena and Reno. But he smiles] You might want to wait til next month though, Riki at least give's us pretend real food and it might be best not to provoke Jason... [He was already mad, Shion didn't see it as a jump that he would try to ruin something that should be a happy occasion]

[alephbet]

Jason can suck it. I'm getting married when I want.

[sawthelockdown]

Congratulations to the two of you!!

[Though it's just a voice, Asako means it. There needs to be something normal and happy here for a while.]

voice

[alephbet]

Thank you very much. You'll come to the ceremony, right?

voice and incredibly late BUT-

[repeatingsun]

Oh! Oh!! A wedding! They're just so beautiful!! Oh, congratulations, you dears!

[Solas is...interested. What.]

May I come? Oh - I'm good at conjuring things, if you want me to make a cake or decorations or anything!

[Pause.]

Perhaps it'd be best if I didn't make the cake, though, my sense of taste is a little off. But I can definitely make decorations!

[SO EXCITING]

voice no worries~

[alephbet]

You can certainly come. We're planning to have it on the 8th, in the crystal caverns floor, at around one in the afternoon.
