pheel are there marriage customs / rituals that youve thought abt for your clan? is there paperwork or anything involved like irl?
sorry for taking so long to answer this one fdgsdf i wrote up some stuff ages ago but never completed my thoughts xD; but now seems like a good time to finish it hahah
But yeah! I imagine they keep things pretty simple but my progens will officiate weddings for any dragons that want it c: I feel like it's probably pretty informal, Wind's gotta one of the least bureaucratic flights I'd assume haha..they probably just sign a few papers and get a certificate and then woo married!
My clan's leaders probably have some like, filing room deep within the lair to keep all the important papers and documents just in case. But of course if two dragons come to Florabrisa and say they're already married but don't have papers that's fine too. They could draft up some papers but I don't think marriage is a necessity for certain rights with dragons the way it is irl. If the community is aware of the elationship that's official enough haha
For rituals and stuff, exchanging jewelry (whether rings, necklaces or whatever else) or other tokens is definitely common. I imagine Tarragon and Moraine probably did tokens..omg I've said before (like aaaaages ago) that i view Tarragon's Sweetheart Swan as a sculture..and Moraine has a Glassbound Solarvul. they totally could have given each other those as glass sculptures to symbolize their marriage c:
And then the marriage ceremony itself..dragons in my clan never turn down a good chance to celebrate! For any occasion including marriage you can bet there's lots of music, dancing, good food (definitely cake of course!), games, and just having a great time partying until the sun rises haha. There probably are specific ones for marriages..it's wind so i'm just picturing Green foods are especially common choices. gotta get the Windsinger's blessing haha. Pistachio cakes, matcha teas, spinach bread, broccoli soups, and of course plenty of leafy green salad options c: my tundras are thriving.
There's probably orange stuff to balance the greens too, but definitely more emphasis on the greens. but orange bouquets would be common!
Maybe there's even stuff like, holding out pinwheels and using the direction of the wind to predict what it'll mean for the marriage (or future marriages for the attendees!) and if there's no wind at all that day..well, good luck to that marriage ;')
