The Wedding of Snow White and Bigby Wolf

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*Out by the lake, things have been carefully prepared. There's a beautiful spot, right at the edge of the forest, where the sun's rays passing through the trees leave a breathtaking effect. The ground is fairly level here, and there's a few scattered flowers growing naturally. Chairs have been set up for everyone in neat rows, and a hardwood dance floor has been created off to the side. A wedding arch and a simple runner form the aisle for the procession. A gentle breeze is enough to keep formal wear from becoming excessively warm. All are welcome, but disrupt things at their own risk*

Dream is present. He is wearing something that looks appropriate for conducting a ceremony. What, exactly, he's wearing changes with who looks at him. For the non-humans, he looks well groomed. For those who see him human, he is in shoes. Moiraine reminded him.

He manages to give the impression of having a podium with the ceremony on it, despite not having a podium or a copy of any ceremony.

*Bigby arrives first, dressed immaculately in a sleek, black tux. A small silvery white handkerchief sticks out of his breast poxket, next to which a red corsage is neatly pinned. The black buttons on his white shirt lead right out to a well-tied bowtie. Of note, there's a long, black scabbard at his hip which he's obviously spent some time getting accustomed to walking with. "Bigby Wolf" is engraved on it subtly so that it shows up only at certain angles. The black leather hilt sticks out, and the very observant can see his name engraved on the interior of the bell guard as well. For those truly hawk-eyed, the pommel has a winter scene of a wolf in the snow, along with the date of the wedding.

He appears at the back of the seats, meeting his musical cue and striding slowly down the length of the "room" until he reaches the front and takes his place by Dream.*

Claire allows Nick to take her arm and lead her down the the runner until they get to the front. Then, she moves to take her place on the bride's side, turning to face the guests with a smile.

Svava takes Tim's arm, and together they walk down the runner, groomsman and bridesmaid, til they reach the front. She moves over to take her place next to Claire.

*Tim walks down the aisle with Svava with the confidant stride of someone who has already made the difficult version of this walk. His sabre matches the tux nicely, and he slips over to take his place beside Nick with a minimum of fidgeting.*

The next groomsman in line is a bit different from the first two.

She has tits.

Faith and Meg are arm-in-arm on the stroll down the aisle, Faith's lips twitching with amusement, her shiny new stabby-toy neatly in place on her back.

When they get to the end of the aisle, she waggles her eyebrows at Meg, winking, before releasing her hand and going to stand next to Tim.

*Not only that, the groomsman's tits are bigger than the bridesmaid's.

Meg is trying very hard to keep from giggling; fortunately, it merely shows up as a beaming grin that she aims at Faith, her own stabby-thing hidden somewhere underneath the dress - after all, it doesn't do to be too shiny if one's not the bride. She goes to stand next to Svava, standing - as tall as she can, anyways.*

*Virginia and Alanna follow soon after, making their way to the front before taking their places.

Shortly after that, Violet makes her way down the aisle before taking her place at Virginia's side*

*Millie is beaming.

She is a Big Girl and walking in human form today and got lots of chocolate. She's still a little nervous, though, so petal-scattering is sporadic for the first half of the runner or so. By the time she gets to the front, she's better at scattering petals but still nervous, so she starts over to Daddy. Then she notices Seth's mommy is holding out chocolate . . . chocolate helps her remember she was s'posed to go over there. Millie trots over with a grin, but panics momentarily when she realizes there's still flowers left in the basket. So she quickly dumps them out. Problem solved! She moves next to Claire and takes the chocolate happily. Fortunately for her dress, it's a small piece so there's a minimum of potential mess*

Bruce is sneaky like ninja has managed to get up the aisle just before Millie, and now is fidgeting with the rings up front, with the other groomsmen.

*From the side of the wedding area, Yrael begins to play his violin. The Wedding March sounds nice on the violin; different, but still beautiful.*

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*and finally, as the music swells for the bridal march, Snow proceeds down the aisle. Most present have likely never seen her smile this much before, really, and her eyes are a tad damp. She takes her place at Bigby's side, beaming at him, and finally relaxes a bit. The butterflies that were in her stomach for the past few days have settled down. This feels right*

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

"There are many, here, who have journeyed to Milliways and there found love. Bigby Wolf, however, knew that only one woman would ever be right for him, and thus he followed Snow White until he found her, Bound here. However, Snow did not simply wait for him. She spent her time fighting to get to him as strongly as he fought to get to her.

In many ways the ceremony which we are about to bear witness to is a formality. There are no words or gestures to make the bond between Snow White and the Bigby Wolf any stronger.

All of you know them. Snow is the first face that many of you saw upon coming to Milliways. She greets the new, and gives them the rules. Snow balances this unofficial care of patrons with devoted care to her children. What many of you may not know is that she was, before being Bound here, the coordinator of all those that her world calls Fables. At first she moved freely between worlds, her own and this place. Then an accident rendered her Bound.

At the time, Snow was pregnant. She dreamed of getting home before the babies were born, rejoining with her beloved Bigby.

While Bound, she had her children; Millie and Wade. Wade has his own magic, and perhaps bittersweet was the fact that Millie could, like her father, be both wolf and child.

There are many stories of lovers who vow anything and everything to the one beloved. All too often when those stories are real, the vows are broken.

Without saying a word, without a single vow, Bigby Wolf simply walked to the end of the universe to rejoin with the one woman who means everything to him. There is nothing which could separate them, and nothing which can.

And now, after too long a time of waiting to say anything, they are to recite vows of love before us all.

We are lucky to be here and witness this. Should any wish to interrupt this wedding, I would advise them to note the number of edged weapons in the crowd."

He smiles at the guests, and then turns to Bigby;

"Do you, Big Bad Wolf, known also as Bigby Wolf, agree to cherish, defend, support, and assist Snow White all the days of your life, in illness and health, in crisis and peace, from the dawn of stories until the final "Goodbye" from Death to the universe?"

[big-b-wolf.livejournal.com]

I do.

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

"Do you, Snow White, Fairest of them All, agree to love, honor, support, defend, and partner Bigby Wolf all the days of your life, in illness and health, in crisis and peace, from the dawn of stories until the final "Goodbye" from Death to the universe?"

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*she gazes into Bigby's eyes and speaks without a hint of hesitation*

I do.

"The rings, then."

He smiles at the two of them, then at Bruce.

[mynameisbruce.livejournal.com]

With slightly damp and nervous fingers, Bruce removes the rings from his pocket. At this point, they're a little smudgy with fingerprints, but that's ok. He isn't sure who to hand the rings to, so he just puts them in his palm and holds his hand out to Snow and Bigby.

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

As Snow and Bigby take the rings and place them on each other's fingers, Dream informs the collected guests,

"They are husband and wife. I believe that kissing between them is traditional at this point."

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*with a smile, Snow leans in and they kiss*

[mogget_cat]

*Yrael's there, off to the side. He wears a white tux and white shoes, since seeing Dream wearing shoes apparently reminded him, too. He has his violin tuned and ready.*

[blue_ajah]

*Moiraine is in attendance, in a formal gown and with a serene smile as she observes the proceedings.*

[mynameisbruce.livejournal.com]

Bruce is standing in his tuxedo, trying to look as grown-up as possible. He's fidgeting with the rings he has in his pockets, and hoping not to lose them.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace is there, of course, beaming. She's glad Snow gets a good wedding, she seemed so very worried about it earlier.

And perhaps seeing her husband all dressed up in a tux has something to do with it.

[stbethadettes]

Hand in hand, Beth and Spike show up and find seats that are near the back of the crowd but still guarantee them a pretty good view of the ceremony.

Beth thinks very highly of Snow and has never met Bigby. She definitely wants to be able to see what's going on.

[not_that_spike]

Spike puts his arm around Beth: she's so fucking gorgeous and he's so glad to be there with her.

And he sure as hell hopes this wedding goes better than the last one he went to.

[agentlemantrue.livejournal.com]

Charles, dressed in finery (which, for him, means a lot of lace and crushed velvet), has procured an appropriately sized chair, and is in the back-right corner of the seats. So as not to obscure anyone's view, of course.

[notjustananimal.livejournal.com]

Somewhere along the way, Wolf has found a nice seat near the aisle. He doesn't get a tux, but is in his nicest suit. Which, we might add, is quite nice.

He looks about as pleased as the punch that he made. Which, we might add, is rather good.

[milliways_sawyer]

Sawyer's there doing what he does at weddings... sitting in the back inconspicuous.

Jokes aside, he felt like he should be there.

[young_tmriddle]

Tom and Door also watch, pleased for their friends. They also might be taking notes.
