(( Wei Wuxian's smiling face once again graces the screen (you're welcome!). He's obviously still happy about his upcoming marriage and it shows in the warm smile and the brightness in his dark eyes. ))

Tell me about wedding traditions from your world?

[As long as she wears the circlet, none shall see her new set of features. But this question! She loves this type of question and would eagerly tell and listen in to all!]

I haven't been to one yet but for my people, it usually happens in the Spring when Nature is at its strongest. But not only Nature but my people as well. The couple would usually sing to each other, both to initiate courtship but weddings as well.

I am sure that your voice isn't bad, my lord.

[A small giggle.]

But perhaps you can play for your future mate?

But you can still play and I am sure he would love to hear it. I fear I never heard of it. What does it sound like,

How lovely! Then I need to set up a gift right away!

Tell me, who are the lovely couple so I can address it to them?

Well, that tends to depend on which kindred you are from, as I understand it! And even amongst my own folk, the traditions are quite varied from place to place, although the core of it remains the same.

Amongst my folk, what makes a marriage is the Vows to the One, and the consummation. Everything other than that is entirely up to the folk involved. Traditionally, amongst the Noldor, of whom I hail, the betrothal lasts a year, with the exchange of silver rings, that will be switched for gold at the wedding. The wedding itself is a feast, where both houses exchange gifts - traditionally, the bride's mother gives the groom a jewel to wear, for example , and the vows are said and witnessed before the couple is sent off to accomplish the wedding. How elaborate said feast is, is entirely up to you. I have known those wed in war, who exchanged no more than kisses over watered wine before their friends, with no family left to stand with them and no time for anything more.

Oh? Any particular reason you're asking?

[Sylv clearly has his suspicions already, but wants to know if he's right.]

I'm already invited? Even though I just arrived here?

Now that's really nice of you! I can't say I'm an expert at weddings but shouldn't it be invited to people whom you're familiar with?

Still, you are much too kind.

Then I shall venture to find the best marriage chopsticks and some red envelopes at once!
smilingarmor: (Just what I always wanted)

[personal profile] smilingarmor 2022-07-06 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh that's wonderful, darling! Congratulations!

[Yes, he suspected as much, but that doesn't make him one bit less excited.]

And who's the lucky person you're marrying, hmm?

[ Maglor laughs at that ]

A year is not so long, to one of my folk. And of course, not everyone keeps to tradition.

[ Looking at you, mom & dad ]

But it's basically a cooling off period, as it were - a chance for the family and the couple to asses how certain they really are.

O happy youth! Well, you are Human, not Elvenkind! I suppose time runs faster for you. But as I said - tis the traditional way its done, that's all.
