[Embarrassing as it is for Diarmuid to admit, it's only natural that he's been thinking about this kind of thing recently, right? It's not really something he'd had much say in the first time around- largely of his own volition- but now that he doesn't have servants to do most of the organisation... well, he's going to have to be a little more hands-on.]

A question, if you will. What kinds of marital traditions did your people observe in your homelands? This world has much in common with my own so we share some of the same customs but with so many of us from so many places I'm curious about others too. What kinds of ceremonies do you hold? What brings the couple fortune?

Forgive my superstition but let's just say that the betrothed aren't exactly blessed with great luck. It might take more than a horseshoe and some rye to ward off misfortune in their case.

[sorry friend, he'd already pretty much figured it out. the 'asking for a friend' energy was strong.]

if bells won't do the trick, might i suggest drums and dizis? there's always fireworks too.

i'm sure that the betrothed will get off to a lucky start no matter what.

[Bless whoever this is for not calling attention to it anyway. Still, there doesn't seem much point in trying to keep up the charade in this particular conversation anymore.]

Dizis? Are they a kind of instrument?

I don't have the best of luck with weddings: one nearly ruined my life and my own first marriage was doomed from the start. Forgive my unease.

it's a type of flute. i can show you one if you want.

...and buy you a drink while i'm at it.

[because that is a lot and wei wuxian can see why he'd be spooked.]

but it's all over and done with now, right? forget the past if you can. you have another chance here, one that i bet you'd regret not taking.
