My sister and I were talking Winx and we were wondering how you think their marriage proposals would be if they propose at all? I'd also love to hear your thoughts on their potential weddings too if you want!
Hey so I'm soo sorry it took forever for me to reply, I think I've mentioned it a few times, but I was severely ill to the point of being bed-bound around the time I got this ask. I am a helluva lot better now, being able to consistently get up and do things, which is why I am only answering now
Thank you for your patience XD Hopefully I'll be more active⦠soonish? I wanna come back but I'm still ill and my personal life is still on fire so. um. When I can, I will
I'm gonna write this with the canon ships in mind
Bloom: She dreamed of fairies, and princesses, and magic growing up; she absolutely wants that fairy tale proposal and wedding. Stella would refuse to let Sky plan his own proposal, don't mention the movies to me that was bad, Stella would find a nice huge walkable garden, Sky would ask for help packing a picnic because let's be real, Princey would panic because he didn't have to think about that before. It would be cute and dorky because their both awkward as hell and I cannot see either of them making it though this without stuttering and cutting each other off. As for the wedding Erakylon as a whole as put her off of a princess wedding, but she was hoping Domino would be different, and it is but it still sucks and is awkward. A bunch of people she doesn't know, in situations she's not used to, making her use skills she just learned, all while being idolized. Its not the worst thing ever but it makes Bloom's Daphne Domino based imposter syndrome flare up. Bloom is sad and Sky is like "Well, we didn't have an earth ceremony with your extended earth family" and she perks up instantly. Stella, barely being held back by Flora, take care of the preparations to make up from the Domino one. Aisha reframes from saying I told you so about the Domino wedding for years, still says it though
Stella: I think Stella would text Brandon a long list of specifications for her dream proposal. It is long, there are fireworks, they rented a private beach. She's too dramatic to not. All the girls are there, because, firstly, Stella wants to squeal with her friends, secondly, she wants the whole thing recorded and its easy to talk Tecna or Riven into doing that. As for the wedding, its the biggest thing since Bloom's coronation. Stella's wedding was already going to be huge but she's still mad about Cassandra running her ball and she's making this everyone else's problem. Invites everyone she knows and likes, and a few people she doesn't to rub her happiness in their face, because she's petty. The wedding planner is so stressed, how many things do you want. Meanwhile, Brandon who just choreographed the perfect proposal, and has been with Stella for years, takes over half of the burden from the weeding planner. He knows Stella's tastes and moods and has been the personal servant of a Royal for years, he knows what he's doing. The wedding is the event of the year and Stella couldn't be happier
Flora: I imagine both Flora and Helia are romantics, so they'd probably do some "vacation in a beach town, and I purpose to you after personally rowing us out to the middle of a lake for a gorgeous view" ass shit. Like picturesque proposal. Helia gets to be a little smug about how amazing his proposal was, as a treat. As for the wedding, while I haven't really thought about what they'd be, I think they'd be the only ones who are torn with which one of their cultures wedding ceremonies they want to go with. (Tecna doesn't care so its Timmy's planet, Riven doesn't have much his planet at all anymore so Musa's, and Bloom and Stella are important political figures so), they compromise and try to blend traditions, Saladin and Flora's parents work with the couple to try to make both families happy. Their wedding nearly matches the size of the Royals just on sheer amount of family the two invited. Both Helia and Flora have big extended family they want at their wedding, and Flora is also down to invite distant friends. They have rich friends, they can have their huge dream wedding. The wedding is held in Linphea and the decorations are all plants, and is absolutely gorgeous
Tecna: I like to headcanon her as aromantic because I am and I related to her S1 statements so fucking hard. Pretending that hc doesn't exist, she wouldn't propose. Tecna struggles with her emotions and expressing them and a proposal is a lot so if her partner wants a marriage they're gonna have to propose to her. I think Timmy is the romantic type, he's also deeply nervous. What's going to either happen is that Timmy proposes to her in a private romantic setting, like when their alone on a vacation, cute dorky and very them, or Tecna would see Timmy wanting to propose to her and not doing it for a while and decide to do it herself. Tecna would be more dramatic than Timmy though because shed get the girls in on it, and which means Stella. Timmy likes it. As for a wedding neither of them like entertaining acquaintance and they're both introverts, so they have a small minimalist wedding that doesn't take forever because they both like to fidget. Also it wouldn't just be a wedding Tecna and Timmy would use it to force everyone to listen to their info dumping on there newest creations/ship and all the doors are locked
Musa: Musa is a huge romantic and would dream of being proposed too but she'd also dream of proposing. She's the only one that's more likely to propose rather than waiting for one, Musa is kinda impulsive and clingy when it comes to romance, see: all of s1, and while she grew out of some of that the rest of it led to her being openly a "go-getter" in her relationships lol. On top of this Riven has commitment issues and it takes him a while to get over stabbing her in the first movie. So Musa is definitely proposing, it isn't a big thing because Riven would hate that so much, so maybe wile stargazing on a road trip. Small and intimate. As for the wedding, Riven hates his family, and Musa barely gets along with hers, and the only people either of them would feel comfortable inviting is their friends, so its a very nontraditional wedding that devolves into a straight up party very quickly. Honestly the only reason they just didn't go to a court house is because Helia and Stella would actually kill them if they didn't have any celebration, oh and they like their friends
Aisha: Considering that her relationship with Nabu is arranged there's no proposal. If they did have a chance to propose, it I can see either of them prosing. Aisha just going for it, like maybe during a big celebration, or Nabu pulling out all the stop to take Aisha out for a full day then proposing at the end. As for the wedding, they'd probably have a huge, likely televised one, set up by their families, for Andros, their families, politics, and the media. Then later on they have a much smaller ceremony with their friends where Aisha and Riven can break tables arm wrestling without scandalizing anyone or it ending up on the news. Aisha kinda hates pomp, Nabu is a shit starter, and neither of them ever imagined their weddings actually being romantic, so the smaller ceremony is a lot better than they ever imagined, and quickly puts the mess that happened at Riven's and Musa's to shame. Everyone is trying to cheer Aisha up after being in a stuffy, heavily political ceremony, so they all go way too wild
