[brynwieldr]

From: Leo (Odin)
Date: Jan. 20th

[As the camera clicks on, you can hear Leo muttering:]

Do we really have to do this, Aymeric? We could simply send invitations out individually when it’s closer to time.

Was it not your suggestion that we do this?

[It’s said quietly as well but the tone is gentle.]

There is nothing to worry about. We will do this together.

[Leo sighs and looks at the camera, trying to smile. It’s obvious he’s kind of regretting this decision, though.]

Right. For those of you who don’t know us, this message isn’t necessarily for you but--I am Leo, currently the god Odin.

And I am Aymeric de Borel, also assigned as a god. [What? God name ain’t important here, the actual one is.]

We--I--decided that this would perhaps be the fastest way of getting the news out. Aymeric and I…

[Deep breath.]

We’ll be married in the spring.

[It’s not shown on camera but one of Aymeric’s hands covers Leo’s, gently squeezing it as a way of reassuring him. He knows how they both are, not the type to make big announcements such as this but also wanting to share how they feel about each other. And with all the bad happening lately, there needed to be some sort of good. But they can see the elezen’s expression as he smiles warmly.

Leo appreciates the comfort, Aymeric, but he’d appreciate you saying something a little more.]

Invitations will obviously be sent out closer to the date. We would have said something sooner, but…

Given the circumstances of the recent events, it seemed a bit out of place to speak of it. However, we wished to tell our friends and fellow comrades of our news as soon as we were able. We are still planning for the ceremony and celebration so we are unable to answer much on that front.
[This is so different than trying to speak on politics or try to sway a group of people; he can do that with his eyes shut. No, this much more nerve wracking and he’s giving a mental prayer to Halone to give him strength not to screw this up.

They both suck at this, huh?]

Like I said, this is mostly for those of you who know us...or rather Aymeric. [He’s seen Aymeric’s contact list, okay.] Hopefully when the time comes, you’ll join us on our wedding day. ...gods that’s weird to say.

A moment I am looking forward to with great fervor.

[Sap. Leo gives Aymeric a slightly dopey look before he turns to the camera.

Thank you for your time.

[End feed.]


[OOC: Both will be responding!]

[Hey guys small child is here]

This is so exciting!! May one of my shinki and I come?

[Because Unmi likes Aymeric, right?]

We wouldn't be able to stay for long but this is an important occasion!

[onedrinkwithme]

[Ebisu you sweet child. This is why Aymeric likes you.]

Of course. I was planning on inviting you and your shinki to come after all.

[toremainbehind]

[Have a very amused Izumo, mostly because wow, do they suck at announcing this.]

It's about time.

[brynwieldr]

We've been together for six months! What do you mean, about time?

[Leo is all blushy. They were not that bad.]

[onedrinkwithme]

[Shut up you. But even so, Aymeric's tone is friendly teasing.]

Were you expecting this before now?

[trademark_skull]

[Woah wait huh? Married? They know they're both guys, right..?]

Y-you sure you wanna do that? Nothing good ever come from marriages from what I know.

[Which...isn't much, realistically. But since it already has that reputation it can't be good!]

[brynwieldr]

How so?

[I mean, Leo's never seen a healthy marriage his entire life as his father was already older with his several wives but even he knows that's the exception.]

[onedrinkwithme]

[Oh Emi, wait until you hear about the crazy shit in Ishgard.]

I have the utmost faith in Leo and myself. I love him with every fiber of my being.

[ Yon'a's mouth had dropped open at the start of this message, but by the time the pair of them are done, she's ecstatic, practically with stars in her eyes. ]

You're getting married! Oh, that's wonderful news! I'm so happy for you both!

Video

[brynwieldr]

Thank you, Lady Yona. Would you like an invitation?

Video

[onedrinkwithme]

Tis something we are looking forward to. It would be folly to not invite you and your shinki to come.

[Like seriously, he might be listening in on the conversation between her and Leo but the invitations are a more formal matter. That and she counts as family so there.]

[O-Oh! Oh wow!]

CONGRATULATIONS!

[A number of different confetti emojis follow.]

[onedrinkwithme]

[Aww, those are cute!]

Thank you, Celty. Will you be joining us for the ceremony?

Video!

[welcome_home]

Ooooh, a wedding! [ Nanako's so Excited! ] That will be sooooo pretty!

[onedrinkwithme]

[Smiling.]

Would you like to come, Nanako?

[Goku doesn't really have much reason to be watching a video from someone he doesn't know- he's just nosy. They're getting married? Here? They both look like guys, so why... But if they say they're getting married, they must be!

He doesn't get it completely. But they both look really happy, if a little nervous. Goku grins at the video feed, bright and warm.]

I don't really know you guys but that sounds awesome! Congratulations!

[onedrinkwithme]

[Hey, it's the thought that counts.]

Ah, thank you very much. It is wonderful to hear such kind words.

[reloves]

[ AaaaaaaAAAAAHHHH. People publically displaying their love on here? Of course Minako is all over that, she seems ridiculously excited. If this were an anime, her eyes would be filled with stars and sparkles. She's so here for this. ]

You two are so cute! Aah, I should've asked earlier if I could see you two together!! [ Since she had only met Aymeric so far, despite hearing about him being engaged.. ] Your love seems amazing..!

video;

[onedrinkwithme]

[Ah, it figures she would respond to this considering they did meet and she noticed his ring. But he smiles and gives a small wave.]

Aye, my dearest is a wonderful and good man.

[He's totally expecting Leo to smack him for saying that in public. Probably.]

[estinien]

[ Here's one deadpan elezen, doing his best not to look like he's judging.]

Perhaps you should have done what was said and sent those invitations out closer to the time.

[brynwieldr]

[. . .]

Stab in the dark here, but are you by any chance Estinien?

[Elezen, white hair, reminds Leo of himself on a bad day--fits what Aymeric's told him of his best friend.]

[ hey, he knows that guy! they've done crimes together! ]

Congratulations to the both of you! To find such happiness is just wonderful.

[AYMERIC WHY]

Thank you. It was incredibly unexpected, but I'm thankful for it.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Congratulations to the both of you! I hope you'll allow me to be involved in designing your suits for the happy occasion.

[brynwieldr]

Of course, Forrest. I wouldn't ask anyone else.

[shalamayne]

It is good to see this place has some positive outcomes in it.

[brynwieldr]

Agreed. It's not all misery and random attacks here.

Text: Ginia

[unlucky7]

Congratulations to the both of you, it is wonderful to hear. May your lives be blessed more than they already are.

[onedrinkwithme]

My thanks for your words, Mistress Ginia. Will you be coming to the ceremony?

video

[alphinerd]

Considering the last time I'd seen Ser Aymeric before coming here was in combat, it's strange to think so much time has passed that he's now getting married...

But I am very happy for the both of you, and I would gladly attend.

[brynwieldr]

To a man with a child, no less, though Forrest's and my circumstances are...complicated even by the standards here.
