Challenge
#4 Requirements
Challenge
#4 is to write a foofy wedding fic.
Here
are the rules:
It
must - MUST - be foofy. No angst. NO bridal shop massacres ::vic
looks darkly at her Rogue muse::. The biggest problem the couple
-any couple of your choice- faces must be along the lines of Xavier
being annoyed that they're cutting his prized orchids for bouquets,
or the wedding cake icing turns out butter cream instead of whipped
cream as ordered. <g>
The
bride and groom must remain with the person they marry. You can
have someone switching horses at the gate if you like, but once
the rings are on, they are a happy couple.
They
can get married anywhere, anytime -- Xavier can escort the bride
down the main aisle at St. Patrick's Cathedral and the reception
can be at the Plaza.
They
can get married at the Chapel of Love in between playing blackjack
at Harrahs.
As
long as someone's hitched at the end who wasn't hitched at the beginning,
it's all good.
The
time frame can be whatever you want -- start with the proposal and
follow the bride over the year of her wedding planning. Or start
with someone receiving an invite and bitching and moaning over having
to fly to Westchester for a wedding. Or start with someone rolling
out of bed, looking at his/her SO and saying, "Hey, let's get married
today."
Three
of the following must be included - either spoken, mentioned, or
experienced by someone in the fic:
+
bachelor/ette party [complete with strippers, funny shots (slippery
nipples, blowjobs etc), embarrassing condom hats, and puking at
the Port Authority Bus Terminal]
+
big, unflattering bows on bridesmaids dresses
+
bridal gowns by Vera Wang
+
a quickie at the reception (either the bride and groom, or another
couple, but NOT the bride or groom with someone other than their
newly acquired spouse)
+
an ex showing up at the wedding (you could make one of our X-Men
the -er- EX-Man and have him/her drag her SO to the wedding to prove
how well s/he is doing without the ex...]
+
a buttinsky mother-in-law to be
+
the phrase (or some variation of it) "a bun in the oven" or "shotgun
wedding" or go nuts and use both!
+
the phrase "a check and a ladder" - i.e., let's elope, for example:
"Charles offered us a check and a ladder to avoid having to build
a pavilion on the lawn. Looking over the builders' estimates, I
was starting to think it was a good idea"
+
someone in formalwear arriving at the 7Eleven [or Wawa or some other
convenience store of your choice)looking for snackage between the
church and the reception
+
inappropriate yet hilarious drunkenness at the reception
+
someone's wacky uncle with the toupee embarrassing either the bride
or the groom with "cute" anecdotes of childhood
+
dancing [or refusing to dance] to Hava Negila and the tarantella
and the chicken dance
+
the bride being late because of a mission and the groom being nervous
+
the bride or groom's sappy choice for a first song being mercilessly
ridiculed
+
the bridal party doing shots of tequila
Okay,
now that the freakin' challenge is longer than most of the fics
I've written lately, I'll go now.
But
somebody, write me a happy wedding fic! Stat!
