That Sacred Arrangement....

[all7seas]

Who: wise_maiden and lists_to_port; We are leaving this log WIDE OPEN. So if you are family or friends, you are invited and may mingle or gossip or be all dressed up or get drunk or do the electric slide or WHAT HAVE YOU. Are there any Wedding Crashers in Luceti? Ha!
What: Wedding
When: Monday afternoon
Where: That spot with the lilacs by the river in that meadow west of the village. You know that spot---we know you know that spot.
Summary: Jack and Raine get married, and everyone ships it hard forever.
Rating: G I expect? It's so hard to tell sometimes.



On the morning of his wedding, Jack sat bolt upright in bed and then vomited onto the floor. Several minutes after that were spent dry-heaving and gasping for breath, and then another several minutes crawling to the bathroom to put his head under the shower. Cold water---it brought back reality and rationality, and erased dreams of being a pirate and dying in some war and having a best mate and a lover who had always been forbidden him---ever since Jack Horner's lesson and the two weeks following it.

Sparrow figured it was a case of wedding nerves. Strange dreams were a new thing for him, after all--normally he slept dreamlessly and woke up alert.

Later, as he stood in the quiet meadow he and Raine had chosen for their ceremony among the fragrant lilac trees, that morning dream was forgotten. Sparrow was calm. Happy. Clean-shaven and dressed in the attire Buffy had picked out for him and eagerly waiting for his beautiful bride.

Unlike the man he nearly had to drag out the door to get here, Sanji is completely at ease drinking in the atmosphere, shuffling around exchanging well-wishes and pleasantries. He has a fondness for weddings and that ol' fairytale flair that seems to accompany them. It's like nothing can go wrong with this much love lifting the air.

It's once he's abandoned Ginko to the wolves (the man can handle himself for ten minutes, right?) that he branches out and looks for the bride, intent on extending her congratulations; the groom too, despite not knowing him well.

At some point the said bride will be within reach for him to greet; she is making her way through the guests for the express purpose of thanking them, among other things. And seeing her Uncle's closest friend among the guests is certainly a good thing.

When he spots her, Sanji grins slightly and waits to gather her attention by making himself visible in her line of sight.

"Congratulations, Raine-chan." His usual enthusiastic flair is toned down; even he's got a sense of propriety. "You look lovely~!"
