The Meaning of Family: The Collections

Jimin & Rosie's Wedding (6/11)

"Don't you think it's too early?" Jimin asked as Rosie cuddled into him, her iPad in her hands. "I mean, we haven't even thought about dates for a wedding shower or anything. Why are we registering now?"

"Because," Rosie stated as she opened her Target app, "this way we can go ahead and get an idea of what we want other people to get for us now or what we can save for later after we're married and move into an actual house. Plus, if we set it up now, we don't have to worry about people coming to us later complaining about not knowing what to buy us."

"That is very true~" Jimin agreed, pressing a kiss to Rosie's temple as she began to set up their registry.

"Have you guys thought about what food you want at your wedding yet?" Jin asked the couple during their family night.

Rosie shrugged a bit. "Not really, all I know is that I want it to be actual food, not just finger foods and appetizers, but I don't want it to be super fancy, and I want to food to be friendly to all palettes, whether it be kids, adults, whatever."

"I just want food." Jimin chimed in, earning a giggle from his fiancée.

That night when they arrived home, they began to discuss the topic further. "Maybe we should start looking at caterers and stuff." Rosie as Jimin climbed into his bed next to her. "We don't want to be those people who have two days left until the wedding and realize 'oh shit, we don't have food'."

Jimin giggled, wrapping his arms around her so they could cuddle. "Okay, what kind of food do you want then?"

"I don't know~" Rosie sighed, tilting her head up to look at Jimin. "Why don't you pick the food? I've made almost all the decisions for the wedding so far. It's your day too, so we'll eat whatever you want."

Jimin made a humming sound as he thought over all of his favorite foods, trying to come up with something that sounded good for their wedding. "How about burgers, chicken, stuff like that? We can do it buffet style so everyone can make up their own plates with whatever they want."

"As long as there are veggie burgers too." Rosie said. "My parents have decided to transition to a vegan lifestyle, and I don't want them to complain about how we 'intentionally' tried to starve them."

"Don't worry~" Jimin squeezed Rosie even closer to him. "I'll make sure to find a restaurant that has vegan options." He pressed a kiss to her forehead before the two of them settled in to go to sleep.

During their weekly Sunday lunch, Jimin managed to hide away in his old bedroom as he tried to book the plane tickets for Rosie's parents to fly in at the end of the year. "Shit~" He cursed under his breath when he looked at his bank account and realized he didn't quite have enough money to cover the costs of the flight and still be able to make rent that month.

"Everything okay?" Jimin looked up to see Jungkook who had been on his way to the bathroom when he overheard his older brother's frustration.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Jimin tried to play it off, but from the look Jungkook was giving him, it was obvious the 25-year-old didn't buy it. He sighed, "I offered to pay for Rosie's parents' plane tickets for when they fly out here for the wedding, kind of like a first impression thing. I wanted them to have at least one positive thought about me before they actually meet me for the first time. But plane tickets are fucking expensive." He cursed again quietly.

"How much do you need?" Jungkook asked somewhat innocently.

Jimin looked over at him. "You're not helping me pay for them. This is my thing; I'll figure something else out."

Jungkook stepped closer to his older brother and wrapped an arm around him. "You've helped me a lot this year, and I want to be able to return the favor. Plus, my art school did really well this summer, so I have some extra money. Let me help you." Jimin debated the offer for a few minutes before begrudgingly accepting it under the condition that it stayed between them.
