THE WIDE AND WONDERFUL WEDDING MEME - 2021

[melplayspersonal]

 

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 you'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.

"Then why are you sweating up a storm?" Magica put her hands on her hips. "You know you suck at lying."

Poe chuckled in agreement. "He can bluff to any businessman, but when it comes to us, anything less than the truth gets him tonge-tied."

[richestduck]

"Because you two know me too well. You know all my tells," Scrooge groused, happy for the distraction. However, he sighed and admitted, "I'm just...nervous."

[lifesa_witch]

"About what?" Magica came to Scrooge's side, with Poe taking the other. "What could possibly wreck the nerves of Scrooge McDuck, the wealthiest man in the world?"

"It'd be cute, if it wasn't worrisome." Poe quipped.

[richestduck]

"I'm serious," Scrooge said, their teasing turning his insides into knots.

Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe they'd think it was just a joke but keep the gifts anyway. Oh, that'd just kill him...

[lifesa_witch]

The twins frowned. If he had to say it, then he really did mean it.

"You know you can trust us."
"You always have, and you always can."
"If you can't tell us, who can you tell?"
"We just want to help."

[richestduck]

"I know. I know." Scrooge took a deep breath. "I'm just nervous because...everything's already changed so much for the better. And I'm afraid that I'll ruin it all."

[lifesa_witch]

Magica almost called him a worrywart, but a knowing glare from Poe made her change her mind. She tried to find a more suitable way to say it. "There's nothing you can say or do that would change the important things. Like... us."

"You're stuck with us forever, like it or not." Poe said with a smirk.

[richestduck]

"I hope so," Scrooge muttered.

He took a deep breath and pulled out the box from his pocket. Kneeling before them was tempting but his bad leg would make him regret it. Besides, them being on either side of him worked just as well.

He hesitated in opening the box. It was a ring box but slightly larger than average for a very important reason.

[lifesa_witch]

Time froze as they saw the box. The twins, for once, said nothing - and even when they looked at each other, it didn't appear that they were saying to each other either.

In their mind, they were having the same line of thought.

This was inevitable. Eventually, he'd have to settle down and choose one of them. It was the mature, adult, reasonable thing to do. The world wouldn't accept all three of them. And hadn't life always been this way, everyone preferring one over the other?

But at that point, their thoughts differed - if only because they believed he was going to choose the other one. And it would hurt - but it was for the best. They wanted Scrooge and their sibling to be happy.

Surely, he was going to choose Magica.
Surely, he was going to choose Poe.

[richestduck]

Scrooge took another deep breath, his hands shaking, as he opened the box.

Inside was not one white gold ring but two: the smaller one was adorned with raven engravings while the larger one had tulips.

"I can't properly propose," Scrooge said awkwardly. "What I'd like to do is illegal in most states. I just...I can't live without you. Either of you."

[lifesa_witch]

Both of their jaws dropped. Both of their eyes widened.

Was this real? How could it be? Scrooge had been known for doing the impossible, but this... was on a whole new level. He was refusing to choose. This was an option that the twins didn't think was ever there.

It was Magica who broke the silence, always the more emotional one - throwing herself at Scrooge, trying to kiss him. Poe, accurately guessing that this would definitely throw Scrooge off in more ways than one, made sure to hold Scrooge from behind to steady him.

[richestduck]

Scrooge hated it whenever someone forced him to pick between two options. It always made him want to come up with a third, to defy expectations.

He was grateful for Poe's support as Magica nearly knocked him over. He used the arm of his ring box hand to hug Magica while his free hand went back to squeeze Poe's knee.

He kissed Magica and then turned his head to do the same to Poe. Then he asked lightly, "So is that a 'yes'...?"

[lifesa_witch]

"You stupid, greedy bastard." Magica giggled, tears in her eyes. She nuzzled Scrooge's cheek, kissing him there over and over again.

Poe squeezed Scrooge in his leg, resting his head on Scrooge's shoulder. "I think I can speak for the both of yes... it's a yes. A thousand times over."

[richestduck]

"Oh good because I had no idea what I was going to do with a king-sized bed by myself," Scrooge said, sighing with relief.

He still felt a little queasy from leftover nerves. Honestly, the little flips of happiness his stomach was doing wasn't helping the situation, but he was happy all the same.

[lifesa_witch]

"Give it here!" Magica suddenly snatched the ring box so she could slip her ring on. "Oh, it's perfect!"

Poe calmly took his own. "Marvelous designs, too. How long have you been planning this?"

[richestduck]

"A while," Scrooge admitted. "I've been carrying around that box for almost three months now."

And there were times he'd woken up in a cold sweat from nightmares of outright rejection. Yes, he was a greedy man who liked to keep his treasures close, but he wasn't only interested in collecting pretty things. He loved each and every treasure in his possession, the De Spell twins in particular. However, the dreams made him doubt himself, wondering if perhaps he was just "collecting a set" or some such nonsense.

He didn't sleep well those nights.

[lifesa_witch]

With the ring on, Magica snuggled into Scrooge's arms, purring like a happy cat. "Deceiving us for three whole months... such a naughty boy."

"I'm amazed the stress didn't kill you." Poe looked at Scrooge's face. "... Although it might now. You still look weathered. Maybe we should continue the party inside?"

[richestduck]

"I think I could use a little more fresh air if it's all right," Scrooge told Poe, stroking Magica's hair with one hand. "It feels good to finally get that off my chest."

He was still going to have a panic attack later but at least it'd be easier to ride out knowing that once he was done with it, he'd still have the twins.

[lifesa_witch]

"All right, but if you feel any change, you say so right away." Poe lightly chided, giving Scrooge's waist a pinch.

Magica was just content to say where she was, sighing happily.

[richestduck]

"Now who's the worrywart?" Scrooge teased. Still he reached back with one hand to touch Poe's cheek.

[lifesa_witch]

"Someone has to watch out for all of us." Poe took Scrooge's hand to kiss it. Magica was preoccupied, happily studying her ring and turning it over and over again.

[richestduck]

Scrooge had spared no expense on the two rings. He'd had his finest jewelers make them and the engravings were so intricate that one could almost swear they could see every feather on the ravens of Magica's ring.

He hummed with pleasure as Poe kissed his hand. He closed his eyes for a moment, basking in contentment. Everything was right with the world.

Of course, such a thing couldn't last. After almost fifteen minutes, he said, "I think I need to head back inside if that's all right with both of you?"

[lifesa_witch]

"Told you." Poe said, but he released his hold on Scrooge.

Magica did move, but only to take Scrooge's arm and hug it close. "I don't mind, as long as we go together."

[richestduck]

Scrooge happily walked with one on each side of him. Happy and content.

However, once they got up to their suite, he could feel impending doom. It had been brewing since he'd first started designing the rings.

"I'm going to use the bathroom. I'll be out in a few minutes," he promised as he broke off from the twins.

[lifesa_witch]

Poe saw this coming, and gently pulled Magica away from the bathroom, knowing she'd try to go in after him. "I'll get some ginger ale."

Magica just blinked rapidly, clueless. "Okay?"
