the wedding planning meme

[notwhatitmemes]

wedding bells are ringing! maybe not for your character, but for someone, they are, and you're here to help them navigate the confusing, expensive world of wedding planning.

rules

1 character, fandom, and your preferences. for the sake of this meme, we are going to pretend that all people are able to get married to the consenting adult of their choice.
2 tag around. use rng first to choose the type of relationship you'll be playing out, and then the type of scenario. or, you know, just pick. no skin off my teeth.



relationships

1. two halves of a couple. this is self-explanatory. you'll play two members of an engaged couple who are planning their wedding and possibly fighting over certain aspects of it.
2. an affianced person and a member of their wedding party. maybe natasha romanoff has chosen pinkie pie as her maid of honor! bitching about bridesmaid dresses, helping address envelopes... it can all go here.
3. an affianced person and a vendor. it can be hard to pick a caterer, photographer, florist, venue, officiant, cake baker, stationer... the list goes on and on. cake tastings, invitation proofs, day-of meltdowns... the sky's the limit when you're excited to plan your wedding... or when a bride- or groomzilla strikes!
4. two members of a bridal party. what the hell has happened to your friend to make him or her so obsessed with the wedding?! why would the groom pick pink tuxes? doesn't the bride realize that clone bridesmaids are no longer the thing?

scenarios

1. attire and accessories. you're shopping, getting alterations, looking through bridal magazines, or just discussing attire for the wedding. try not to get stuck with too many pins!
2. beauty. oh shit, did your spray tan turn you orange for your wedding day? can't decide on a hairstyle or nail polish color?
3. music. maybe you accidentally hired the worst dj ever for your wedding and all he's playing is the chicken dance. or you're auditioning bands to play your black-tie event! whatever it is, you have to have something to keep the guests dancing.
4. guest list and seating chart. do we really have to invite great-aunt alma? if we do, we can't seat her next to great-uncle mortimer since they hate each other...
5. invitations. now that that's squared away, it's time to order the invitations. misspelled names, fights over whether to go formal or whimsical, the monotony of stuffing envelopes... it can all go here.
6. food and cake. everyone loves a good meal and an elaborately-decorated cake! tastings, decorating disasters, attempts to diy the food... the sky's the limit.
7. flowers, linens, and decor. make that ballroom sparkle! deciding on centerpieces, tablecloths, and other decorations can be daunting... especially if you've decided on an offbeat theme.
8. wildcard. got a scenario in mind that isn't covered here? go for it!
