Wedding Planning

Is this me shamelessly self- projecting my desire to get married far away from the place of my childhood trauma and in a fancy castle-esque building? Yes, it is. I was born in Spring(on Easter Sunday, actually)and I love the Spring weather and I think it fits Rin and Amaimon's relationship vibes. For now, I remain single and keep projecting my desires onto Rin. Enjoy!

Rin and Amaimon decided to get married on May 8th of next Spring. Springtime was a lovely time to get married–flowers blooming, green grass, blue skies, and cool breezes.

Once they decided on the date, they started looking at where they wanted to get married in Spring. There were so many places that would be beautiful for a wedding out of the country.

First, they looked at Villa Tre Ville, Amalfi Coast. In Spring, the wysteria bloomed everywhere, especially around the arches–ideal places to tie the knot under. There were beautiful views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the suites with plunge pools made for the perfect Amalfi Coast getaway for newlyweds.

But Rin didn't really want a beach wedding, so they moved on. And Amaimon wanted to bloom the floral arrangements himself.

Next was Hotel San Cristóbal Baja, Mexico. It was a beautiful place with lovely architecture and a very minimalist aesthetic. The hotel overlooked the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and the Pacific Ocean from its perch among the cacti. Amaimon vetoed that one. Too dry.

After the Hotel was Amanjena, Morocco. Dotted by date palms and olive trees, the resort on the outskirts of Marrakech showcased Moroccan luxury. The ceremony could be held in the shady courtyard of the garden and the reception could be held around the pool. Rejected, they didn't like the setting.

Next was The Ritz, Paris, France. Mephisto really liked that one and said he'd marry Rin there or somewhere like it, but he couldn't see Rin and Amaimon getting married there. They both agreed.

They looked at a place in California, but both recalled that it was hot even in spring and moved past it.

The last one they looked at was Belmond Castello di Casole, Tuscany. It was gorgeous! Warm weather that wasn't too hot, green grass, blue skies, nice breezes across the plains. The rolling hills covered in vineyards and small towns that made charming destinations for weddings were promising.

They could get married in the restored Chiesa St. Tommaso Church and make use of the property’s historic grounds for the reception. The place was huge and they didn't have many people coming, it was perfect. Rin loved the castle aesthetic and Amaimon agreed only if they got married in the courtyard rather than inside the church, despite the irony that Rin found entertaining.

They decided to pay the place a visit at night so they didn't have to deal with an annoying tour guide. They were both too impatient to deal with a tour guide and would rather explore by themselves to their heart's content.

The place had amazing architecture, comfy and modernized rooms to stay in, huge pools with lounging areas, nicely sized bathrooms, luxury lounging spaces inside with comfy furniture and updated technology. And all around the place, there were grassy hills extending as far as the eye could see, with mountains rising in the distance. Rin looked forward to racing Amaimon across those plains, being chased until they tumbled down together in the grass laughing, their wedding bands glinting in the sun.

Rin couldn't wait to get married here! Amaimon insisted they do something risky while they were there, but Rin denied him. They could do that all they wanted on their wedding night. Amaimon purred at the promise and took them home to start planning floral arrangements.

They told Mephisto, Bon, and Shiemi about the place and they all pouted about not getting to see it themselves. "Oh, may I help with the flowers? I've been practicing a lot with growing things!" Shiemi requested excitedly. Amaimon nodded, not even thinking about it and Rin smiled. He really was soft on Shiemi and it was sweet to see.

"Rin, Dad said he would walk you down the aisle and Yaozo will officiate for you guys." Bon told him. Rin gasped. "Really? Your Dad doesn't mind?" He asked worriedly. Bon took Rin's face in his hands gently. "Rin, he's only interacted with you a few times before, but he really likes you and he knows you have no one to walk you down the aisle. You have no family, and no one else in our group does either, so mine will come." Rin gave a watery smile. "Aw, don't cry." Bon laughed, hugging the Nephilim to him. Rin bawled into his chest, clutching onto him.

"What happened here?" Mephisto raised a brow when he walked in to see Rin crying into Bon's chest. "My Dad said he'd walk Rin down the aisle since Rin has no family to do it." Bon explained. "Ah, yes, the tears make sense now. That's lovely, I'll have to thank him sometime, because he'll be doing that two more times." Mephisto kissed both of them on the cheek.

"Juzo is a great cameraman, so he'll take the pictures for you guys." Bon added. Rin nodded against his chest, sniffling. Shiemi was Rin's Maid of Honour, then Izumo, Shura, Torako, Mamushi, and Jun. Yumi–Shima's younger sister–was their flower girl.

Mephisto was Amaimon's best man, then Bon, Shima, Koneko, Juzou, and Kinzou. Kuro would be their Ring bearer.

So far, they had their guest list done, their chosen wedding party, a set date, a venue, someone to officiate, and someone to walk Rin down the aisle. Things were going well for wedding planning so far and Rin couldn't be happier. Having something happy and fun to do with himself was relieving while he trained to control his new powers and come to terms with his new status too.

He sighed in contentment and let Bon lead him to the kitchen to eat breakfast that Belial had made.
