[ Blind guy and green girl are sitting together today, holding hands. Awww. They look so happy. Everyone be jealous of them, go on.

Blind guy speaks up first. ]

Hey everyone. So, uh, we’ve decided something recently, but we might need a little help figuring out how to pull it off.

[ He’ll let Hera tell them what it is, nudging her gently. ]

Well, after all our years together… Kanan and I have decided to make our relationship a little more official.

[ She gently picks up his hand in hers, squeezing it slightly. ]

We’re engaged! And, well, we can’t exactly do the marriage ceremony from my homeworld here.

[ Looking at Kanan- want actually ask the question, partner-in-crime of hers? ]

[ Kanan is trying not to beam. Keep it cool, Jarrus. ]

And the Jedi don’t have marriage traditions. So - we were sort of wondering how it’s done on this planet. Or on your own worlds. How do people get married? We watched a holovid - “27 Dresses”? It made the whole thing seem pretty scary, but Earth customs can’t all be that bad, right?

[ Hera nods] We haven’t set a date yet, so we have plenty of time to figure this out, right?


[ ooc note: orange text is Kanan, green text is Hera. If you want to specify who you want to reply, feel free, otherwise you'll likely get responses from both! ]

[ !!! ]

Having listened to you both up in space, I'm not surprised, but... wow, congratulations! Either way I'm happy for you both.

[kanyounot]

What are you talking about, that's how we always are!

[ Well. Sort of. He grins a little. ]

Thanks, Bodhi.

[onlydoubts]

Really? All of the flirting is normal, then?

[ he's teasing, okay. he really is happy for them, though. and can't help but wonder if Jyn (with her memories intact) and Cassian were still here, if they ever would have done the same.

right. ]

Of course. I don't know a lot about Earth traditional weddings, but I've seen some holos on it. If you need anything, I'd gladly help.

What, you mean to tell me Hera's officially off the market?

[ He kids, he kids. ]

Congratulations, you two. Do I need to start shopping for a nuptials gift?

video;

[kanyounot]

I'm not sure she was ever on the market to begin with, pal.

[ LANDO. ]

...I'm gonna leave that one up to her.

[bespin]

[ Not for lack of trying! ]

Either way, you're a lucky man, Jarrus.

[phoenixleader]

I was never on the market to begin with. Despite your efforts.

[ A dig to a slight that's been forgiven but never forgotten. ]

... Is that a common thing here? Or on... Wait what world are you even from?

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

Well, isn't this an interesting development.

[Video]

[kanyounot]

And one that's no concern of yours.

[ Grievous if you think you're getting an invite to the ImPort wedding of the decade or whatever, you are sorely mistaken. ]

[video i am very sorry]

[curiosityvoyage]

...your homeworld's not Tatooine, is it? [The only Twi'lek he's ever seen was the slave girl in Jabba's palace, okay. He's happy for them, though, he really is!]

What do you mean, Jedi don't have marriage traditions? [Darth Vader got married! Most likely, anyway.] Is it 'cause of the whole—there's no more Jedi left thing? [He's trying as hard as he can not to let on just where he's heard the word before, it's just that he's not at all subtle about it.]

I dunno if Earth traditions are all that exciting, but I do remember this old rhyme, for what the bride's supposed to wear—"something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue".

[phoenixleader]

No, it's Ryloth.

[ Don't worry Dustin she's not going to get eaten by a Rancor!!

Still, a fleeting moment of concern crosses her face, and she'll look at Kanan to answer that one.
No more Jedi left? Certainly, after Order 66, there were only a handful left- Kanan among them. Ezra joining as a padawan earlier. Yoda, possibly Kenobi- if Dustin knows their future, certainly all of them aren't gone, right?]

.... Why something blue?

[video he's adorable]

[kanyounot]

We're not all gone. But - no, that's not why. It was always against the rules for Jedi to marry, back when there was an Order who made rules and enforced them.

[ There's not anymore, so - meh! ]

She's supposed to wear all that at once? That seems... excessive.

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

The ceremony can be any way you want. There are plenty who can be ordained and you can write your own vows.

[Says the other Jedi who got married. Hi.]

[Video]

[kanyounot]

[ (soon-to-be) Married Jedi bros! ]

Hera already asked Master Kenobi if he'll officiate. He - said he would.

[ So, there's that? ]

[ofhousetarly]

[ Pardon Sam as he fiddles with his device for a moment before replying. He's still getting used to this kind of technology.]

In my world, there would be a wedding feast. A huge feast with many courses. [ There's a pause. ] If you are rich, that is.

video;

[kanyounot]

We're not rich, but - we can probably manage to have plenty of food there, regardless.

video; ( Time for me to BS Rylothi customs )

[phoenixleader]

Sounds familiar...

[ There's a soft shake of her head, laughing softly ]

Weddings between clans are a huge affair. The ceremony's short but the celebrations can sometimes last for days. I'm sure we'll be keeping some of those aspects.

video;

[lightinside]

Congratulations to the both of you!!

[ She gives them a huge smile. ]

And I guess it depends on how big you want the ceremony to be. Or how many people you want to invite. Usually, the couple write their own vows and say them to each other.

video;

[kanyounot]

Thanks.

[ Kanan's grinning pretty widely as well. ]

And, I don't know. We've got quite a few friends here, I think. That's the point of doing this, right? To celebrate with our friends?

video

[cannotrest]

About damn time.

[The way they've been acting around the apartment - and on a damn mission! - she'd been surprised they weren't already engaged.]

video

[kanyounot]

Well, there was always a lot going on back home!

[ And they are also kinda dense. ]

video ;

[phoenixleader]

[ Hera at least has the good grace to look a little abashed. Please tell her the walls aren't that thin, Ashley, they've been trying to be quiet. ]

We never really had the time back home. Always another mission, anther plan, uncertainty of the future...

voice.

[functusofficio]

I'm happy for both of you. I'm not sure of wedding traditions here, but I can tell you what I know of the traditions on Naboo if that would help at all.

It will be good to have something so pleasant to look forward to.

voice.

[kanyounot]

Thanks, Padme.

And I guess it couldn't hurt to know about Naboo's traditions. We'll probably do as much of the Rylothi traditions as we can, but we can't do it all - no ancestral skulls around here, for one thing.

voice.

[phoenixleader]

Thank you, Senator.

It would be greatly appreciated. The Rylothi customs are... complicated, especially being so far from home. I'd love to hear about your own customs.
