Lulamoon was sat at the table in the living room of Moomin House, writing out plans on couple pieces of paper.

"Here you go, dear." Moominmama said as she set some tea down in front of her. "How it coming along?"

"Not very good." The witch sighed, picking up her cup to take a sip. "I can't make plans until I figure out a location. But I don't know where I should hold it."

"Have you talked about it with Snufkin?"

"Of course. I run all my ideas through him before planning. Neither of us want it to be to big. I was thinking of having it outdoors and only have friends and family over."

Moominmama hummed and sat down next to her. Just then, Papa came downstairs and noticed all the papers. "What's going on?" He asked.

"We're planning Lulamoon and Snufkin's wedding." Mama told him.

Papa's eyes lit up as he walked over to the table. "Why not just have it outside Moomin House? We can bring the dining table outside and hang up some lights."

"Would that be alright?" Lulamoon looked up at him. "That was my first idea but I didn't want to intrude."

"We'd be happy to hold your wedding here!" Mama exclaimed in excitement. "You and Snufkin are family after all."

Lulamoon smiled at them. "Thank you!"

That night, Lulamoon walked into her cabin to see Snufkin sitting on the couch, staring into the fireplace. "Something on you mind?" She asked as she moved to sit next to him.

"I sent a letter to the Joxter." He told her, not sounding to sure about it. "I was thinking that..."

"He might be there for the wedding." She finished.

Snufkin nodded and leaned back. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pulled her against him.

"Don't worry." Lulamoon said as she cuddled into his side. "He'll come."

"How do you know?"

"Because if he doesn't, my mother might just hunt him down and drag him over here."

They both laughed at the thought even though it could very well happen.

Everyone was gathered outside Moomin Valley to help set up for the wedding. The seat were faced away from the front door. That way, the bride could stay hidden inside the house and walk out the door when ready.

Moominpapa, Hemulen and Snufkin were setting up the dining table outside when Papa froze, seeing a familiar figure walking towards them.

"Joxter." He muttered in shock. That could recognize that bright red hat anywhere.

The Joxter stopped walking and stared at him for a bit before smiling. "Hey, Moomin!"

"That's 'Moominpapa' now." Papa stated as he hugged his old friend. He pulled back and looked at the blue-eyed Mumrik in confusion. "What are you doing here? You've never visited before."

"A raven gave me a letter." Joxter explained, digging the paper out of his pocket and holding it up. "It's apparently from my 'son', wanting me to come to his wedding."

Papa's eyes widened and he turned to look at Snufkin who was openly staring at them. Joxter followed his gaze and noticed the younger Mumrik watching them.

Joxter stepped forward, pass Moominpapa and towards his boy. "It's you." He muttered in shock.

"Hello... dad." Snufkin nervously greeted him.
