Arranged Marriage Meme
recognised as a social contract. Unions were entered into for many
reasons: to obtain property, to unite families, to carry on a bloodline,
et cetera. Whatever the reason, congratulations, you're getting married!
HOW IT WORKS:
❧ Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences.
❧ If there's a specific set of circumstances you like best, set the scene.
❧ Or leave your comment blank and let others use RNG to choose the scenario. Feel free to mix and match.
❧ Please note the prompts below are merely suggestions and you're more than welcome to come up with your own situation.
❧ Have fun!
POSSIBLE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE:
① Station → You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
② Feud → You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
③ Economics → Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
④ Empire → You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
⑤ Tribute → You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
⑥ Bloodline → Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
⑦ Disapproval → Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.
POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:
① First meeting → This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
② Courtship → To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
③ Engagement party → Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
④ Wedding day → The big day!
⑤ Reception → The big party!
⑥ Wedding night → Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
⑦ Honeymoon → Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

Combo of 2 & 3 and scenarios 1&2?
Re: Combo of 2 & 3 and scenarios 1&2?
Sam Winchester was fuming. He hated being considered a bargaining chip for anyone much less his family. But both sides the Winchesters and the Campbells had agreed that Sam was the one person from the family to be accepted by the DiNozzo's for this deal. "And Dean is needed to keep hunting," he mutters angrily, "Sam is just the nerd and he's expendable." He stood dressed in his best suit and trying not tower over everyone. "Let's just hope the first words out of his mouth aren't redneck."
Re: Combo of 2 & 3 and scenarios 1&2?
"Geez that guy sounds like a tool," Tony spoke, and turned and faced Sam, his shoulder still on the pillar.
"Why even bother?" He asked, clearly interested in the answer. There was a reason he was the best undercover agent NCIS had.
Re: Combo of 2 & 3 and scenarios 1&2?
"Because," Sam says with a sigh, "my family needs to keep doing what they do and this stupid feud is getting in the way." Sam and by extension his mother didn't really give a damm what the governmental families really thought of hunters. Ghosts and other supernatural beings were going to keep hunting innocents no matter what. But John, Samuel and the Hunter Council were getting frustrated with those families like the DiNozzo's who believed the law was the law and to break it meant you had to pay.
"At least by getting married to this guy maybe the govermentals will ease up a little bit when they see how hard hunting really is."
