Fish getting married? Like a Destiination wedding? If you could?
ooh yes!!! i immediately thought aspen, colorado but then i was like, tropical/island/beach was more fun to write right now, but if people want some wedding with frankie in aspen content, let me know,,,
also this assumes a fairly heteronormative wedding and all-female bridesmaids and i don’t know much about weddings, i’m not old enough to be invited individually, and most of my parents’ friends have not invited the kids/teens, so the only one i’ve been to in the past 8 years was super non-traditional, alice in wonderland-themed, there were ushers on stilts, carnival rides, and guests were encouraged to come in costume so i don’t really know what’s standard for this kind of thing
i don’t see frankie being the one to care so much about what the wedding looks like. if he were forced to plan the whole thing, it’d be small and near his home and his friends would be there.
probably just because its easy
but he knows you want something more, and man is he excited about the wedding ideas you keep gushing about
so when it comes time to plan it, as soon as you start suggesting all these grand ideas, before realizing it’s probably not his style and backing off, frankie surprises you by saying he’s just as open to having the wedding wherever you want it
and the more you talk about it, the more he realizes how fun of an idea it is
honestly frankie really deserves a relaxing and extravagant vacation, and he’s not realizing it until now
he tells you he wants to go to someplace he wasn’t stationed at any point
he doesn’t want to worry about being plagued with those memories during what’s supposed to be such a happy time
when you finally settle on the location, you and frankie are over-the-moon about it
we’re talking late nights searching for the perfect hotels and venue, looking at photographers, and sharing a pinterest board with everything and anything
while you do plan the whole thing over a year in advance, every day leading up to it you’re buzzing with excitement
frankie is just as excited, and never hesitates to pull you in for a kiss whenever you get too excited and start rambling
“i know, honey, you’ve already said that” he’ll tell you whenever you talk about how much you love the hotel you chose
the day you leave it’s all a blur
the first day or two it’s a lot of busy-work, last minute decorations, meals with family members and friends, and the rehearsal dinner. you and frankie barely are able to find time to spend with each other beyond the evenings you have in your room.
of course you make the most of every moment with him
and if you maybe didn’t get enough sleep one night for all the activities the following day because of frankie’s mouth, you’re not going to complain
the day of, your bridesmaids pull you away from frankie and your room, early in the morning for breakfast
you can’t stop smiling as you and your friends get ready together, hair and makeup going by in a blur of laughter and small snacks and gushing compliments
seriously everyone looks stunning
you look in the mirror one last time before the wedding and are so incredibly happy with how you look
your hair is immaculately styled, framing your face so perfectly that any insecurities you have wash away for the day
your makeup looks amazing
and your dress is perfect. its everything you dreamed of, it fits you just the right way, and it makes you feel so incredibly confident
the photographer comes by to take photos of you and the bridesmaids for a half hour before sliding out to cover frankie and his friends.
your parents want the photos more than you and frankie even, and they had splurged with this particular photographer
you’re very excited to see the photos
frankie surprised you a month ago with a beautiful blank photo album he told you was for all the wedding photos
when the bridesmaid’s tell you it’s time to go down for the first look your nerves spike
you and frankie had decided upon doing the first look, despite both your parents’ insistance that it was bad luck, because you knew he would be infinitely more stressed about everything than you, and having a moment together, no family or friends, just the two of you, would be the best way to settle things so that your experience during the ceremony would be as calm and perfect as you hoped
you haven’t seen frankie since you woke up this morning, and you have no idea what he’ll look like
he hasn’t seen your dress, and you haven’t seen his suit. it’s all up in the air and you’re nervous as hell
you’re directed towards where frankie is, along with the photographer, and the girls leave you at the door to outside
you take a deep breath and the photographer signals you to come out
you can feel yourself about to cry as you open the door and see the back of frankie’s head
his soft curls have been pushed back and the suit is dark black and even from the back you can tell it fits perfectly
looking at him you know, without a doubt, that you are so incredibly ready to spend the rest of your life with him
frankie has been your best friend and most trusted person, and you love him so much.
you tap him on the shoulder and he startles before turning around, and his jaw drops, a short gasp escapes from his mouth, and he breathes out your name
“you’re beautiful,” he says, and you’re pretty sure he hasn’t even given your dress a full look
you take in his appearance and smile at his selection of a bow-tie and you’re almost surprised that he didn’t shave, which he usually does for special ocasions
but he knows you like it a little bit more when he has the scruff
“frankie, i love you,” you say
“i love you too” and then “your dress! it’s beautiful too, exactly your style”
“thanks.” and you’re not really sure what to say because all you want is for this moment to be frozen forever in time
you want to always be standing in front of frankie, wholly consumed with love and adoration and the tears that you realize are streaming down your face and his are a testament to how perfect it is
and you know you’re more than ready to walk down the aisle in an hour, and speak the vows you had spend the last couple weeks revising, and kiss frankie and take him to bed tonight, and everything else.
you’re ready for an extension of the life you already have with him.
