[he's going to try to keep this short but he's also wei wuxian, so...]

Lan Zhan and I are finally getting married this month! If you can see this, consider it your invitation to celebrate with us and see how beautiful he looks in red.

[strangers too, and there should probably be some caveat here about not causing any trouble. but when one of the grooms is the yiling patriarch, things like that don't automatically spring to mind.]

Oh, and if you're a priest or a shaman or a holy woman, you're doubly invited, otherwise I'm really going to have to find someone to do the ceremony.

[now for the real reason that he's here:]

It took us a little longer than we thought it would to get to this point. I was impatient, but now I’m grateful, because so many members of my family have arrived to see it. My brother Jiang Cheng is here now - Sect Leader Jiang Cheng. [yeah, just gonna slip that in there.] He helped raise his nephew from infancy so I hope he can finally take a break and have a little fun.

[does thinking about a man raising a small child make him more attractive? it worked in lan wangji's favor, he's assuming it will work for his brother too.]

Before he came, I relied solely on Chifeng-zun - eh, Nie Mingjue to most of you. He agreed to stand for me when I didn't have anyone else to count on. Spending time with him, I realized that he’s just as fair and just as ever, not to mention generous. How do you repay someone who helped make the happiest day of your life possible?

[does he mention his muscles too, would that be weird? perhaps the better question, would it make lan zhan jealous?

he clicks his tongue.]

It's hard to believe that neither of these upstanding men is married yet. Or even have a date to the wedding... [let that sink in. he’s hoping it does. wei wuxian sighs and shakes his head at the tragedy of it.] I keep telling myself that surely there's someone who would like to attend and are in need of escorts themselves.

Did I mention that there'll be food and alcohol? Plenty of both.

Oh, one last thing. I've seen a lot of questions about dating lately. You can always send them my way. As a married man, I'm happy to share my knowledge with the junio--err, others.

[and with that, the puca is (finally) out.]

Lan Zhan, how was that? Do you think-

[lotus_of_rage]

Really? Is that what that sounds like?

Well, it is. I have a date for your wedding.

[And he got it all on his own]

[headshaking]

You found someone to say yes?!

woohoo!

[lotus_of_rage]

I did. Is that so surprising?

[The answer is definitely yes]

[headshaking]

[ .................... ]

N...no! You've always just had very, ah, specific taste, Jiang-xiong.

[lotus_of_rage]

Well, she is a nice young lady. Perhaps she doesn't fit all of the requirements I set, but I'm not trying to run a sect here.

[headshaking]

....This place truly is magical.

[ wao.

fanning himself on camera: ] I wish you the best of luck, Jiang-xiong!

[lotus_of_rage]

And why do you say that?

[Surely not because he's actually dating a woman who he admits doesn't fit all of his requirements...]

Thank you. You will meet her at the wedding.

[weiward]

Jiang Cheng, that's- [unbelievable? maybe a little. wei wuxian was ready to take the task on, after all, and tackling the impossible is his thing. but anyway.] amazing!

Who is it? Someone smart? A good cook like we talked about?

[lotus_of_rage]

What if I prefer to keep her name a secret and let everyone be surprised at your wedding?

[He's going to be smug about it for as long as he can]

Very smart. Back home she held a position that required the use of the sciences. And yes, she can cook.

[weiward]

Jiang Cheng, shouldn't I be focused on other things that day? If you don't at least tell me, I won't be able to think of anything else until then.

[lotus_of_rage]

Will it really keep you up at night not knowing who I have a date with? I suppose I should be impressed that it will distract you from something so important.

[He's certainly playing it up, but he does eventually answer]

It is Nami.

[weiward]

It might, and then what will I do about the dark circles under my eyes? I'll have to keep wearing the veil!

[he blinks at the name, eyebrows lifting.]

The pirate girl?

[lotus_of_rage]

That would be such a shame to hide your face on your wedding day. And for such a reason.

[He's really enjoying this actually]

Yes. Do you know any others?

[weiward]

And it would make it that much harder to deliver a kiss to my dear brother's cheek just as Prompto takes the family picture.

[more mischief betwen them is always good.]

No, I just- [had already harbored thoughts of the couple they'd make, but cuts himself short with a smile.] I like her. And I can see how she'd be your type.

[lotus_of_rage]

Well, in that case, maybe I should have held out longer before telling you.

[If there is no one Jiang Cheng loves being a smart ass to, it's Wei WuXian.

Yes, please don't tell him you've already been considering this]

Hmm... at least you agree with the choice. And I saved you some work you felt necessary rather than preparing for your wedding.

[weiward]

[of course, this is how they show their brotherly love. what other way is there, talking things out? please, they're not lans.]

There's only details left. Honestly, I've been prepared to marry Lan Zhan for a long time now. I have our bond to thank for that.

[lotus_of_rage]

[Talking? How is that healthy? It's much better to harass each other relentlessly]

Well, still saved you time rather than letting you waste it.

[Just admit that he did. He will be so much happier with that]

[weiward]

[would you, jiang cheng? would you be happier with that?

let him think about it and hum thoughtfully for a moment, arms crossed over his chest.]

I guess that's one way of looking at it.

[lotus_of_rage]

[Okay, close enough. He'll take it]

But you are prepared at least. I suppose waiting until the last minute for your wedding would be a bad idea.
