Semi-Open Mingle ~ Wedding time
🧙 WHO: Jean, Mikasa & guests & an appearance from King Arthur (and Merlin)
⚔️️ WHAT: Jean and Mikasa get married
🕒 WHEN: Saturday, July 30th
🗺️ WHERE: Camelot + Atys (Lord Zidane's castle)
⚠️ WARNINGS: none I can think of
Before the wedding
King Arthur is around to meet with people at the wedding and talk with anyone who would want to do that. (OOC: However, to thread with Arthur you have to reply to someone else inside the log before that. This is to ensure Arthur doesn't take the spotlight out of the wedding.). Merlin is also around but won't have a thread to interact with (but you can assume he said hi).
The ceremony
A sacred circle has been made. Jean and Mikasa gathered the needed materials for the circle a week before the ceremony. There are items that represent all of the different magic types in a symbolic way. One of the items was gifted by a family member, one by a close friend. All of them are mostly simple items that somehow represent the different magics, like a herbal leaves for Healing magic or a potion for Alchemy.
King Arthur begins the ceremony by blessing the circle and anyone who is close to either Jean or Mikasa will be invited to gather around the circle. Jean, Mikasa and Arthur take their positions in the circle and the guests around the circle are asked to hold each others' hands.
Arthur then ties both of Jean and Mikasa's wrists together with a red ribbon dyed with ground crystals and quickly prick them with the tip of a spindle through the ribbon. The blood on the ribbon is said to tie their souls together, so that even if they are separated, they will always be able to find one another again even across the universes, life, and death. Guests at this point start to sing an acapella version of the couple's chosen wedding song, which is A Thousand Years (which was given to everyone with the wedding invitation when they were sent, even if not everyone invited was around the circle necessarily).
During the song, Arthur performs a wedding-specific spell that calls the ribbon off of their wrists and folds it into a rose, which is then alchemized so the crystals solidify and create the couple's wedding rose. Jean and Mikasa exchange rings at this point (given to them by Mukuro, who is Jean's bestman) and kiss, and with that the ceremony is complete.
Wedding Reception/Afterparty
After the wedding ceremony is concluded, Merlin does some magic and sends Arthur home and the wedding guests to the wedding reception. He doesn't do something like often because the ritual of transfer takes a lot out of him, but weddings are special occasions and full of love energy (Love is the strongest force of all, that's one thing he agrees with Morganna. Merlin will also be at the party in a disguise.
The party is more open to anyone who knows Jean or Mikasa or knows someone who knows either of them. It's held at Lord Zidane's Castle in his lands, Atys, near the Ruins of Celliwig.
There are beautiful flowers around the party from Moondrop. Various kinds of dishes are on buffet tables and, of course, desserts and the Cherry Blossom-themed wedding cake are both on their own table.
Both Jean and Mikasa's dogs (Snow & Hazel) are at the party with cute pink ribbons tied to the collars and they accept all sorts of attention as well. Their cat (Sakura is lounging in a special pet corner with a cat tree and other entertainment for any animals (pets or familiars) to use. There are also cakes and other types of food meant for animal companions so they don't get left out of celebrations.
The rose that came with the ceremony is on its own table and anyone who touches it will be able to physically feel a sensation of love Jean and Mikasa have for one another.

But even when Minako dresses in a way a more ordinary person might dress for once, you can't fully take the Minako out of.. well, Minako. Which means that when she spots Jean greeting people, she's quick to just run through the crowd towards him, grabbing one of his hands with both of her own and shaking it with entirely too much energy. ]
Jean, I'm so happy for you..! It's such a beautiful ceremony!
[ Yes, even the volume of her voice is entirely Minako. Way too much.
At least it does seen like she is very genuinely excited for him. That's where all that energy is coming from in the first place. ]
no subject
Thank you, Minako. The ceremony definitely went exactly as planned... this day just has been perfect.
no subject
[ After all, how awful would it be to have the most important day of your life ruined by something? And it's not even like the chance of that is small when there's always so much going on in this place..
So she's definitely glad that things ended up going so well. ]
I can see how happy it's made you though. You're practically shining!
no subject
Yeah... I've dreamed of this day for a long time. I never thought... I'm just glad we were able to do this.
[Marriage isn't a thing you got to dream about back home. At least not when you were a soldier it wasn't a very realistic dreams.]
And I even got to share this joy with my friends.
no subject
.. and then giggles, at least semi-deviously. Maybe even more than that. ]
Sooo.. do you guys have any fun honeymoon plans?
[ Not that it's quite as easy in this place as it would have been back home, but.. still... Like Minako could resist bringing that up, really. ]
no subject
Ah, yeah. We're going to go relax in Fleur, Taichi's lands. Just the two of us, leaving our pets home.
[They both adore their pets, but this would still be a nice chance to be completely alone together.]
It's not that far away, but it's away enough to feel like a proper vacation.
no subject
[ Especially since it's one of the few options available in this place - at least, if you want to make sure that you stay safe and don't run into some lethal encounter in the middle of your honeymoon, anyway...
That sort of thing is bound to ruin the mood.
Speaking of the mood, of course Minako is going to wink as she continues to add: ]
In that case.. make sure to have lots of fun together!
[ Slow your roll, girl. ]
