I'm In Victor/Alice Wedding Mode
Jun. 24th, 2009 10:12 pmTo the point where I'm playing wedding dress-up games. That quiz yesterday was RIGHT to insult me.
-J: Any nice dresses?-
Some. Others are just plain weird. There's a few that look more like NIGHTGOWNS than anything else to me. And the "fluff" on some of them is unbelievable. How do you move?! I'm still figuring out how Amy Adams did it as Wedding!Giselle in "Enchanted." That dress had to be the heaviest, most awkward thing on the PLANET.
-M: I'm glad guys are just supposed to show up in a tuxedo or a nice suit.-
-J2: Lucky bastards. I know my wedding dress isn't going to be too fluffy.-
-AJ: I was thinking a nice simple A-Line or sheath, maybe made with that nice shimmery material?-
-J: With or without sleeves?-
-AJ: I dunno -- guess it depends on whether we get married in summer or winter. Maybe we can compromise and have a lacy jacket?-
-VuM: Can I point out we're still only 17 here?-
-VJ: Heh, it's still nice to talk about. Besides, she's doing a wedding fic for one of the universes, right?-
NonTrilogy, yeah. Of course, that hardly ends up a traditional wedding, given it's about people eloping.
-DW: And I don't think they wear actual wedding dresses either.-
Nah, just fancy things -- remember what Gypsy in the Sims got married in? Like that.
-TTV: I suppose you've done a bit more research on Victorian weddings then, given the couple.-
Indeedy. And found out an interesting tidbit I'd missed before -- apparently, the whole "you may kiss the bride" thing wasn't done!
-Jennifers: Wha?-
Yeah -- the etiquette mavens of the day warned against it. God help us all if you display ANY public affection, I guess.
-TTV: . . .What if I want to kiss my new wife?-
Relax, you, Victor and Alice aren't the only ones bucking tradition. I wrote in a kiss for "Bonds of Holy Matrimony," and it's staying.
-TTV: Thank you.-
-VD: Given all this, I suppose you have Alice's wedding dress planned out.-
Yeah, pretty much. I'm actually thinking a short-skirted, short-sleeved thing, in defiance of the usual gowns back then. Their wedding date is July 7th, after all, and they're getting married in Wonderland. It's all white and blue -- white dress with blue butterflies embroidered on it, white and blue striped stockings, white boots with blue laces, white and blue flowers for the bouquet. . . .
-TD: *chuckles* You know, you kind of steal Emily's theme with the butterflies here.-
Hey, the butterflies are Victor's thing too! Incidentally, he'd be wearing pretty much his usual suit, only with a white vest that matches Alice's dress and a black top hat with blue headband (gift from the Hatter). And they get married in the White Castle's chapel in the Chesslands. (Interesting thing I just realized -- practically all of the Wonderland segments in "Solicitor's Ward take place in LOOKING-GLASS LAND. Except for a couple of dream sequences and visiting the Gnome Elder's house at the end, the card-based Wonderland isn't seen at all. Hell, I'm not even sure the Gnome Elder's house counts, given that the gnome people are kind of not in the books. (Unless I missed something while reading. Hmm.))
All this discussion has put me in the mood for fic. It's not the right mood for one of the depressing ones -- let's have a goofy and slightly steamy one!
-TTV: *on guard* Steamy??-
( Kiss 27 -- Tasty Treats Gone Terribly Wrong )
And now, sadly, I should be off to bed. Hopefully Victor won't murder me in my sleep.
-VD2: Don't kill her until she finally posts all those JustPrompts fics she has for Clockwork.-
Incidentally, RPD, would you mind telling him the reason I'm stuck on those a bit is that I keep getting into humor moods and fic for him tends to devolve into angst? (Of course, if he hadn't banned a certain prompt. . . .)
