PROMPTS

1. the proposal: how will you pop the question? is it something you've been rehearsing for weeks, or something unexpectedly blurted out during an argument or drunken spur of the moment? something simple or something grand? however you do it, let's hope they say yes!
2. the planning: whether it's something you've been dreaming of forever or something you never even considered before, it's time to get all those little details ironed out. venues and flowers and seating charts, oh my!
3. bride/groomzilla: your soon-to-be spouse isn't normally like this, you swear... it's just all the stress getting to them, they won't stay like this! ...hopefully.
4. let's elope: disapproving family or friends? not a problem if you run off to vegas, or where-the-heck-ever else.
5. destination wedding: aruba, jamaica...♪ make it a wedding no one will ever forget by having it somewhere beautiful and exotic! or maybe you're getting hitched away from home because it isn't yet legal where you live.
6. shotgun wedding: no long engagement for you. gotta make it quick while your dress still fits over that baby bump!
7. arranged: maybe you've known them since childhood, or maybe you're just meeting them for the first time - either way, your spouse has been chosen for you and now you're tying that knot.
8. bridal shower/bachelor party: strippers? strippers.
9. cold feet: days, hours, mere minutes before the ceremony, your mind is racing with "what if's" and you're having second thoughts. let's hope someone can find you some warmer socks because...
10. today's the day! : time to walk, dance, skip, or fly down the aisle!
11. wedding disasters: what happened to your veil?! who let your crazy ex inside the church?! it's raining on your outdoor setup and your minister is sneezing on everyone! luckily your videographer never showed up, so there'll be no evidence.
12. jilted: you've been left at the altar...or you're the one doing the leaving.
13. traditions: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. jumping the broom, breaking the glass. a white wedding dress, or red. throwing rice, peas, or red beads. every culture has its own traditions!
14. always a bridesmaid: you know the cliché. always in attendance, always there for their friends, but never having that special day of their own. but maybe their luck will change! after all, there's always a chance they'll...
15. catch the bouquet! : but be careful out there.
16. sunrise, sunset: you're the father of the bride, or mother of the groom, or vice versa. or anyone else who raised the person getting married today. and you're asking yourself, "is this the little girl I carried? is this the little boy at play?"
17. the reception: band or dj? the chicken or the salmon? are the guests getting happy and wasted or bored and wasted? is the happy couple in their own little bubble or already forgetting what marital bliss feels like?
18. wedding crashers: whether or not you're following the specific example set by Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, you're getting in on that free food, booze, and dancing.
19. the wedding night: where would this meme be without the most obvious smut option?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ ~~ALL OF IT~~ seriously any of 2/5/10/17 situations???? I don't know if you wanna skip around or something but but but-- aaaahhhhhh *U*]

[I really like 2 or 17! HAHAHA complete ends of the spectrum but...skipping around is a good idea so we can do all the numbers \o/]

[It's been a long time since that off-the-cuff, weird proposal back in high school. Some may have worried if they'd still hold the same feelings for each other-- high school romances and all that-- but as time passed and the idea of actually getting married became a real, plausible thing, Yuu's just become more confident that he's made the right choice with Makoto.

The reality of the situation's starting to sink in lately now that they've started taking time to plan the actual event. Yuu's beyond excited, of course, and trying to be as helpful as he can...

...but geez, thre's a lot more preparation that goes into this than he initially thought! Excitement or no, it's kind of making his head spin.]

Okay, so!!

What part are we lookin' at today, babe?

[He's probably asked this question a good few times today alone. He's trying, bear with him!]

[Sometimes, Makoto feels like he's on the outside looking in at his life in disbelief at how incredibly lucky he is. He's happy and he's going to marry his best friend and boyfriend since high school -- a milestone that no longer seemed so far out of reach. Especially now that they're planning for it. Really planning for it.

Just the thought of it makes something in his belly flutter.]

Um, today...?

[Makoto flips open a small notebook containing lots of scribblings, cross-outs, and little marks made by his mom and an aunt or two. There's also a little planning calendar he copied from a website with its own slew of notes.

Apparently, there are a lot of must-dos for weddings.]

Oh! It's an easy day! We get to go to the bakery and do tastings for the cakes!

[Yuu has to lean over and stand on his toes to check the notebook for himself-- some things never change! -- but still can't make heads or tails of it no matter how hard he squints at the pages.]

I have no idea how the heck you can read all that stuff-- cake!!

[Oh, there, his brain caught up to his mouth.]

That does sound easy!

It is! With some help, I narrowed it down to three bakeries. So we're just going to have small bites of cakes at each one, and then once we decide which one we like, then we can go home or somewhere to plan for how they're going to look and everything!

[Cake is good. Taking it easy is good. This day is going to be good.]

And if we have enough time, we can start planning for honeymoon stuff!

[It's been good from the get-go, in a certain crow's opinion. Yuu's always been a morning person, so when he woke up with the sun shining and full of energy and next to Makoto, his boyfriend-no-wait-fianceé and oh my god they're actually going to be married soon, the dial for the day's already been set to fantastic. He's been bouncing on his heels ever since!]

You're really on top of this today, heheh~ okay, awesome!

Should we head to the closest one first and work our way out, or go the other way around? I mean, I don't really mind either way, but if you had somethin' in mind...!

Hm. How about we do it the other way around? That way, when we're done and tired, it's not that long of a trip to get back home and rest?

[He doesn't doubt Yuu's energy. He was there for the early college days, after all. Still, stress and mental exhaustion's nothing to sneeze at; they've got to be careful!]

And the last place is near the bank and the travel agent's office, so...

[Planning for all this stuff awakened his latent secretary, apparently.]
