For a light overview on the aesthetics of the ceremony and dinner, check out our Pinterest board here!

Rowan’s look! (I neglected to add the white gloves they’re wearing-- pretend they’re there)

Hal’s look!

Key points of the ceremony itself:

Transportation is provided by Rowan-- a drone of theirs will visit each guest requiring transport, and provide a portal to pass through to the wedding area.

Decor for the seating area, altar, and arch is lavish but small, given the low guest count. It’s being held outdoors during a bright afternoon, in front of a lake surrounded by weeping willows. Primary colors are white and black, with generous accents of green and red.

Staffing is completely composed of drone robots, all of whom are expertly crafted and professional to a T. Each type of bot has a different uniform to identify their role.

Before the ceremony, there is a bar area where drinks are served to-order, minus any alcohol.

The ceremony itself is brief, and relatively untraditional. It’s at least based on a classic western-style wedding, but updated and adapted to suit Hal and Rowan’s tastes. The rabbot is the flower… bot, and their cat, Kichirou, is the (lovably distractible) ring-bearer.

After the knot is formally tied, evening starts to fall; candlelight and fireflies illuminate the area, although there doesn’t seem to be any other wildlife to speak of.

After-ceremony dinner:

The setting sun means it’s dinner time! The dining area is set up similarly to the seating around the wedding arch, but with twice the flowers and sleek, sophisticated decor. Each table is set up with four seats.

Hal’s robot, Nekobot, will be helping the waitstaff to take orders from each guest. Guests are asked to order whatever dish they might want, and Rowan’s multi-armed kitchen drones synthesize, prepare, and serve the dish with perfection. These drones work in an efficiently-prepared kitchen area just off of the dining tables, and their cooking is something of a spectacle itself.

Dessert is served in the same customized manner as dinner, but there is also a dessert bar, where an honestly ridiculous amount of treats prepared personally by Rowan await the guests. Anyone is free to take some of these home with them (and there are containers provided, of course).

After dinner:

Once dinner is concluded, guests are given the transport to either return to their homes, or attend the after-party/reception at an arcade.

But because this is their wedding, it’s not just ANY venue. The arcade in question is planet-wide and interdimensional, again staffed by Rowan’s drones and bought out for the evening. The entire business is empty save for the wedding party and Rowan’s bots.

After this point, guests are free to do as they like-- return home, play games, or just hang around and chit-chat.

If guests (or non-guests!) have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask myself or @di-stri-ai​ in IMs or our ask boxes! We’re happy to answer anything you might be wondering about, although we might have to collaborate on it first, lmao.

Crescent frowned immediately. “We didn’t join up with him because we wanted to, Sixer.”

“I know that, and you know that, and a number of other people do, but what about all the dimensions that are still recovering from that? The ones we either haven’t been able to reach, or haven’t had a chance to reach out to?” Sixer motioned between himself and his twin.  “As far as most of the survivors know, we were under Cipher’s thumb for the same reason you’re looking down on Morpho now. And even if the truth reaches some of those people, it doesn’t reach everyone.”

Crescent’s frown deepened.

“You remember that first dimension that was hit -- the kids with those wonderful, creative inventions -- Phineas and...” Sixer frowned, snapping the fingers of one hand absently. “That step brother, it was some unusual nickname that--”

“Ferb,” Crescent said shortly.

Sixer nodded. “When Maria and I first passed through there, we were greeted with weapons. It took several hours of her talking people down before she could assure them we weren’t going to start a second disaster on purpose.”

“Yeah, so everything’s fine there and they know about the truth.”

“The children do, Stanley. Phineas and Ferb were incredibly understanding after they realized what had happened. Their parents and adult neighbors are still extremely wary of us.” Sixer shook his head. “You saw it yourself when Maria brought the rest of you over at Phineas’ request for a get-together in his backyard. I know you did.”

Crescent’s frown started to turn into a scowl. He sighed heavily. “Hard not ta miss the looks, yeah.” He glanced away for a moment. “So...yer sayin’ Morpho’s in the same boat?”

“Not completely the same, but yes. Just...give them some time, and maybe get to know them a little better if you get the chance.” Sixer nudged his brother. “And maybe something of you will rub off on Beta. Axolotl knows that one needs more people than just her older sibling to rub off from.”

“The caterpillar thing? Really?”

“A caterpillar that can jump from one point in time to the next, and make quick work of space travel too. Now, I’m not encouraging con work, per say, but...well, a little shapeshifting now and again wouldn’t hurt, especially since she’s actually physical, unlike Morpho.”

Crescent blinked, eyebrow raised. “...huh.” He noticed Sixer was looking at him with a small grin, then snorted and shook his head. “I’ll think about it. Just...just be careful, okay? I really hope this isn’t just them playin’ a long con.”

“I’ve been careful, and I’ll continue to be careful.”
