THE WIDE AND WONDERFUL WEDDING MEME

[blackmagicduck]

 

What's prettier than a June Bride/Groom? This meme is all about weddings and marriage! Get out the ring, send out the invites, and engage maximum fluff mode!

 

PRE-WEDDING/ENGAGEMENT

 

Proposal

You've got the ring, you've summoned the courage, it's the big moment! Time to get on your knee and pop the question! Or maybe this is spur of the moment – you're so overcome with feelings that it suddenly comes out.

 

In-Laws

Is it your first time meeting the family, or are you here to announce the engagement? Are they furious for you stealing their baby, or relieved that you idiots finally got together? Celebrate the union, or bring out the drama.

 

Maid Of Honor/Best Man

It's the next biggest question – bro, will you be there for me? Enjoy some fun platonic friendship – or if you like pain, is the MoH/BM in love with the person asking them? Ouch.

 

THE BIG DAY

 

Cold Feet

It just hit you – you're going to be spending the rest of your life with one person. It's reasonable to get a little nervous – does your intended break tradition to talk to you and help calm you down? Or will a friend/family member give you the hugs you so desperately need?

 

Runaway Bride (or groom)

You thought you would be okay as long as your beloved would be happy – turns out, you're not. Do you burst into the chapel movie-style with a loud I OBJECT! Or are you the one wearing the ring and deciding “nope”, fleeing to find your real one true love?

 

Here Comes The Bride (or groom)

Skip the drama and walk down the aisle – this is the actual wedding part of the wedding meme. Exchange rings, speak vows, get out the tissues. (Why not make it a rainy wedding day too? I hear the hip youth are into that.)

 

Skip The Party

Who needs a church and all that hullaballo when eloping is just as good? Are you running away together, or just want a quiet, simple ceremony?

 

POST-WEDDING

 

Wedding Party

Time to get drunk and make some embarrassing speeches! Whoa, did the MoH and BM hook up? Look who caught the bouquet! This is the fun for all option – but no one will be judged for some sad “the one that got away” moaning.

 

Honeymoon – SMUT OPTION

Okay let's be real, we can't stop you from making any of these smutty, this is just the one that was intentionally chosen. Anyway, you're away from the world and all alone, or maybe you're carrying your bride over the threshold at home sweet home – make that big night count!

 

Drunk Vegas Aftermath

Whoa, what did you drink last night? And... who's that in your bed?! Why are you both wearing wedding rings?!?! This is the hangover option, looks like you two have some regrets besides tattoos. Do you regret it...?

 

EXTRA – add these to your recipe for extra spice!

 

Fake

Trying to get out of a sticky situation or shut up the family? Nothing works like a good ol' fake marriage. And it's not like you two will actually fall in love, right...? Oops.

 

Arranged

Be it a business transaction or some fantasy AU, your fate was decided for you, as was your intended. Have you met before and decided to simply go through with it, or is the wedding the first time you ever laid eyes on one another?

 

Accidental

Maybe your partner misconstrued things, or this is all your fault, but one way or another, you either accidentally proposed or accidentally got married. Can you take it back without the other person murdering you, or do you decide to keep going?

 

Childhood Promise

The adorable kiddo option – you're not entirely sure you understand what a marriage is, but you want to be with your BFF forever, so let's promise to get married when we're grown up! Or you can timeskip, reminisce about that silly promise you made as a kid... except maybe you don't actually think it was silly.

"I don't watch mortal television," she explained. "With witch television, we can change the ending if we don't like it."

[richestduck]

Scrooge snorted. "There are plenty of people who'd be jealous of that."

[lifesa_witch]

Magica sniffed. "If it doesn't entertain you, it shouldn't be considered entertainment. There are way too many bad endings out there, all for the sake of 'realism'!"

[richestduck]

Scrooge actually chuckled at that. "Well, isn't that incredible: Something we actually agree on."

[lifesa_witch]

She snorted. "There, see? We'll get away with this scot-free. My family has one brain cell and they have to share it."

[richestduck]

"I'm surprised you consider Rosolio 'family'." He paused as something occurred to him. "You aren't distant cousins, are you?"

[lifesa_witch]

"I wouldn't be surprised if we were," she admitted. "The witch and warlock world shrinks every year, and there are families desperate enough to twist a few family branches."

She then shook her head. "I just lump him in with the others because that's how long I've known him. He tags along with Granny and Minima whenever there's a chance."

[richestduck]

"And I suppose breeding outside the magical world is something that's greatly frowned on," Scrooge noted. "Sounds familiar: It's a similar reason for why so much of European royalty is hideously inbred."

[lifesa_witch]

"You got it. Mingling with mortals makes us seem weak." She looked at the bubbling water of the cauldron. "They really don't get it... that deep down, there's not much difference between mortals and magics."

It was a deep, thoughtful sentiment...

... That was ruined by an explosion at the window. Magica yelped, the cauldron splashing her with multicolored water. Ratface cawed, trying to hide, and the smoke began to settle, revealing three shadowy figures - a taller, older woman, a small child, and...

"MAGI-POO!"

Magica froze. "... Oh, my luck cannot be this bad."

[richestduck]

"It'd work to you all's advantage to at least inject some new blood into the--"

He jumped at the explosion and raced to the window, leaning out it to take in the trio below.

"Are you out of your minds?!" Scrooge demanded hotly. "Suppose you killed someone doing that nonsense!"

[lifesa_witch]

Down below, the blonde elderly woman blinked, and then waved. "Oh, hello there! Transportation spells are still a little tricky for Minima dear here." She affectionately pat the head of the little girl with her. "May we come in?"

"MAGI-POO!" Rosolio called out again. "I'm here to save you!"

Magica squeezed her hair, trying to get the water out. "Here we go..."

[richestduck]

"Just a minute! There was a bit of an accident in here after that explosion!" He looked back at Magica. "Are you going to be all right?"

After all, he had no idea what would happen with the potion in the cauldron being half-finished and poured all over Magica.

[lifesa_witch]

Magica sighed. "No, but at least the ingredients weren't costly." So far, the only affects were the bits of lightning coursing through her hair.

She then marched to the window and snapped. "I TOLD YOU IDIOTS THE WEDDING WAS AT THE END OF THE WEEK!"

"Come now,bambina, that's hardly enough time to get to know our future-in-laws!"

[richestduck]

Scrooge rolled his eyes. "Go get yourself cleaned up, my Black Pearl," he told Magica smoothly, loud enough for the people below to hear. "I'll go greet our unexpected guests."

[lifesa_witch]

"Right, right, I-" She jerked - Black Pearl? She stared at him, cheeks reddening. That was quick! She didn't expect any pet names in this ordeal. She cleared her throat, hoping to disguise her fluster, and fled the room.

"Awww, how cute!" Granny cooed while Rosolio grumbled.

[richestduck]

Scrooge left the window and walked down the hallway, Duckworth appearing as if summoned by a thought.

"Tell the others that it's showtime," Scrooge ordered him swiftly. "Our 'guests' are early."

With that, Duckworth disappeared to inform the rest of the family.

Scrooge himself opened the front door, walking out onto the front steps with a congenial and slightly apologetic smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Sorry for the outburst. Magica was working on a rain potion that spilled all over her because of the explosion. Seeing lightning crackling in her hair was a bit startling but she doesn't seem the worse for wear."

He looked over the group, taking them in. Well, three people he could handle. Yes, they were magic wielders, but he wasn't entirely helpless. Time to up the charm a bit.

"So you three must be Minima, Rosolio, and..." He paused, allowing an expression of confusion to cross his features. "...forgive me, but I thought her grandmother was coming. You can't be much older than Magica, miss."

Flattery. The best way to get someone on the back foot.

[lifesa_witch]

Granny blinked, and then laughed wildly, very charmed indeed. "My, my, my! All those silver mines and a silver tongue! Aren't you a clever one! Yes, yes, please call me Granny!"

Minima wasted no time, running right inside the mansion. "Wooow, it's so big! A lot bigger than Auntie's cottage! Do you have a bajillion servants?"

Rosolio said nothing, crossing his arms and glaring daggers.

[richestduck]

Precisely as predicted: While men had a tendency to desire to look older, women were precisely the opposite. Fifteen decades of life had given him ample time to learn about dealing with others. On top of that, he was born in the Victorian Era where manners and courtesy were refined into what was now a dying art, and the older set--both male and female--loved to see that art on display while directed at them. True, he hadn't been a proper gentleman back then, but that didn't mean he hadn't learned a thing or two.

He offered Granny his elbow to guide her inside as he smiled with genuine indulgence at little Minima. He liked children, after all. "No, just two, but they're the very best at what they do. Quality over quantity."

He glanced at Rosolio out of the corner of his eye. The warlock was the real threat of the group. True, Magica didn't think much of him, but desperation could drive even the harmless to causing harm if someone else sought to take the object of their affections. He was a teeny bit grateful that Rosolio was male (not that he'd expected otherwise) because a jealous man was very direct in trying to deal with you. (Scrooge had a scar from a previous stabbing that more than proved that.) Women, on the other hand, were far more devious since they typically didn't have the physical strength to overpower a man, and he'd hate to waste even one of Beakley's excellent meals due to concerns over poison.

[lifesa_witch]

Granny was more than happy to take his arm, following along. Minima was, in a way, like Webby - crawling all over everything, picking up things to inspect them, asking a million questions while barely taking a breath in-between sentences.

Magica came down mere moments later, a few more sparks still emitting from her hair. She didn't get in one word before Granny cried, "Ah, bambina, my little girl is getting married!" And threw herself at the young woman, trying to kiss her cheek.

"Back off, old bat!" Magica snapped, putting a hand to Granny's forehead to reel her back. "If you idiots are going to stay here, you're going to be on your best behavior, for once! Minima, you leave Ratface alone!"

"Aw, bummer."

"Granny, you only sleep in the guest room I choose, and AFTER I put on the spell to stop your dragon-snores!"

"A guest room, how fancy!"

"And Rosolio?"

"Yes, Magi-poo?"

"Stop calling me that."

[richestduck]

Scrooge's eyes went wide with startled surprise. Well, this was unexpected. He'd thought the most excitement would be from her relatives.

He walked over to Magica, standing beside her. "Now, lass, it'll be fine. No need to get so riled up just because they came a bit early."

[lifesa_witch]

"Easy for you to say," she hissed. "You never lived with them."

"Awww, so many pet names!" Granny cooed.

Minima turned back around, and smiled up at Scrooge. "Gee, mister! You really are just as cheap as Auntie Magica said!" Her innocent smile then turned downright devious. "'Cause I don't see any fancy wedding rings on your fingers."

[richestduck]

Minima was another one to watch it seemed. Well, let's see how she handled this.

Scrooge didn't wait for Magica to have a coronary. Instead he bent over to meet Minima's gaze without a single flinch, giving a wicked grin of his own.

"Aye, I'm very cheap. I don't see a reason for engagement rings if you're just going to replace them with gold bands following the wedding and putting the engagement ring in a box to collect dust. Besides, given how every paparazzo on the planet would be storming the front gate if anyone caught wind that I was engaged, avoiding a jeweler as long as possible would help keep it quiet. Your aunt and I were going to get our rings fitted separately the day before you lot were supposed to arrive."

[lifesa_witch]

Magica clutched her chest, relieved Scrooge thought so fast before she had a heart attack. That little brat...! "R-Right, just as he said! You know how I hate wearing jewelry anyway! That's how well he knows me!"

Granny kept going "Awww", eating all of it up, while Minima eyed Scrooge carefully. She then cocked her head, going innocent again - or at least feigning innocence as best she could. "Oh, I see! I guess that would save you lots of money." She even threw in a girly 'teeheehee'.

"You know, there are children your age living here." Granny said, affectionately stroking Minima's head. "Why don't you go make some new friends?"

"Yay!"

Magica jerked. "And you are NOT allowed to cast any spells, curses, or hexes on them!"

"Aw."

[richestduck]

Oh, he knew better now. The innocent act was just that: an act. It seemed witches started getting whily very young.

"And no playing Dungeons of Eternal Screams, Webby," Scrooge said loudly as he straightened up, knowing that the girl in question was likely in earshot for that. If the little lass wasn't somewhere nearby, he'd be incredibly shocked. "Don't forget that the last time you and the boys played that, the ER called the police."

[lifesa_witch]

Off in the distance - "They never gave me a chance to explain! And I didn't know Huey would pass out so easily."

At least Minima seemed intrigued to play with another girl her age, skipping off to find the voice. "Boys are so weak, aren't they?"

Granny chuckled. "Oh, Magica was so adorable at that age too! Wasn't she, Rosolio?"

Rosolio sniffled. "I knew I loved her even then!"

"Now now, Rosolio, I said I'd only bring you along if you didn't make a scene." Granny quite casually dismissed the young man. "Now then, Scrooge! I don't want you to feel you have to ever hold back on my account. I may have a few centuries under my belt, but I'd like to think I'm a modern woman of today!"

Magica didn't like that implication at all. "Oh, gods."
