I. THE CEREMONY


                     Very thankfully, none of this weekend's craziness has extended to the weather. There might be a few light sun-showers later in the day, but for the morning, the sky is calm and mostly clear, only dappled with a few clouds, the lingering cool from yesterday's rain tempering the tropical air. ... Hopefully the teleportation shenanigans will behave, or Allura will have WORDS with Arceus. (They've already had to deal with emergency fridge repairs this weekend...)

The stretch of beach just outside the house has been decked out to the nines, the seats for trainers, cushions for Pokemon, and the arch facing the sun-kissed ocean not just in Keith and Allura's usual colors of pink, blue, red, and purple, but deep green Monstera leaves and bright flame-colored bird-of-paradise flowers; all the Voltron colors, even if a few members are missing in this world. Guests are urged to sign the guestbook next to the gifts table before taking their seats; thankfully, the programs have been printed on sturdy paper and given little wooden handles so they can double as fans.

Soon enough, Keith arrives with his party, including Captain Shiro taking his place as today's officiant. And after a brief interlude, a long clear trumpet note rings out, and the bridal procession makes its way down the sandy aisle.




II. THE RECEPTION


                     Rings and vows exchanged, bride kissed, now it's time to party! Everyone is ushered back to the house for a feast prepared by Hunk and Jane, food stations scattered in and around the property.

Chips and pink-tinged flatbread with queso dip, mango ceviche, and a variety of salsas and fruit chutneys; deviled eggs; skewers with coconut shrimp and pineapple, Southwestern chicken, or miso-glazed vegetables; and for the entrees: berry-glazed pork, beef with a red wine sauce, seafood, ears of corn, and sweet potatoes, all slow-roasted in an umu dug into the sand by the house. For drinks- the only station Shiro was allowed to touch- there's wine, champagne, sangria, beer, sake, as well as a few flavors of lemonade and fruit punch for the teetotalers. The dessert table is just as bountiful: miniature galettes in sweet and savory flavors, sopapillas with honey and chocolates for drizzling, and cupcakes filled with a bright green custard. (It's matcha, mint, and basil, don't worry). The centerpiece, of course, is a beautiful, rustic cake, topped with a Litten in a top hat and an Alolan Vulpix with a veil. The cake itself is a marble of chocolate and strawberry, filled with a rick dark chocolate ganache and strawberry compote.

In between bites, there's plenty of music and dancing to be had thanks to a collab band of Kazuki Hihara, Chicken Choice Judy, Misaki Yamazaki, and Super Sonico. Starting off from the bride and groom's first dance, the music for the evening is an excellent balance of classical, classic rock, and modern hits from across the regions and the multiverse, playing long into the evening.

Of course, if dancing isn't your thing, two other stations have been set up: two rings drawn into the sand, and one featuring a corner with a makeshift rack of protective padding and foam weapons. Yes, there's going to be sparring and Pokemon battles at this wedding. Suit up, battle to knock outs or duel to three points, and try not to get hurt, nobody needs a paramedic visit at the wedding.

So eat, drink, dance, duel until Allura tosses the bouquet and the couple head out for their honeymoon. And don't forget to grab a wedding favor before you head home, custom-made by the bride herself.

Romelle smiled wanly.

"I appreciate the sentiment," she said. "It was hard, but... the person responsible for it has been... taken care of. I suppose that's all I can hope for."

"It's good they can't harm anyone else," Radley said, sounding far away. It still didn't make up for those who had suffered.

And Radley didn't even know the half of it.

"It is." She took a deep breath, trying to shake off the pall. "We're here to celebrate a wedding, though, so... let's focus on that, yes?"

He smiled. "Yeah, that's a good idea.

"It's really beautiful here. All of you must have worked really hard to get it ready."
questioneverything: (That Means It Worked!)

"Oh, definitely!" Romelle laughed a little. "It helps that it's a beautiful place to begin with. This was my first time experiencing an ocean beach like this, and it's really quite lovely."

"Oh? You don't live here with the others?" Radley curiously asked.

"When I'm not traveling, I do," she said. "I have a room. But I also spend a lot of time at the Silver Horn helping Kazuki with the Pokémon sanctuary he has there."

"Oh cool. He has a really neat place," Radley said. "We finally got to see it in the spring."

"Oh! Did you stay there during the contest? A lot of people did because of how close it was to the location in Ilex Forest." Romelle smiled. "It's a wonderful thing. I know that Armen has something similar for Lapras, as well."

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2023-07-01 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, we did! It was pretty busy, but it was nice being there."

He nodded thoughtfully. "Lapras are pretty cool. It's sad Pokemon are hurt, but it's good there's people out there to help them."
questioneverything: (Glad You're Okay)

"They seem to be one of Shiro's favorites." Romelle chuckled a bit. "But, yes... they're quite lovely. They like to sing, apparently." But she looked proud of the comment about the Silver Horn.

"I'm glad you thought so! We worked hard to make sure everyone was comfortable and had a comfortable stay there."

"I rode on one last year. It was pretty cool. I know my friend Scotch would have loved it."

He smiled. "All of you did a bang-up job."

"That sounds exciting!" Sometimes, adventures weren't so bad. Romelle was pretty sure riding on a Lapras was loads more fun as an adventure than being shrunken down to the size of insects and getting chased by a Yalmor.

"Thank you."

"It was. Maybe you'll get the chance to do it too sometime."

Radley smiled. "Sure."
