Time for Gallavich wedding headcanons:
1. Besides edible boxers from Carl and the honeymoon Car from Liam, what wedding gifts do they get?
2. What flavor was their wedding cake?
3. How the fuck do they have 120 guests at the wedding? Who are they inviting? (only to claim they have no friends a season later?)
4. Why did Ian say Mickey and not Mikhailo?
5. What's one thing in the wedding that way important to Ian? (Chiavari chairs level important)
Ian's EMT friends (his real EMT buddies, not the fake ones Paula had him working with) got him a years supply of condoms with a note saying "wait a year before you knock him up." Ian laughed, Mickey got horny, and as he threw the box away knowing they don't need any of that shit, they saw the real gift underneath which was a weekend stay at the fanciest hotel Chicago has to offer. They got a few house warming gifts, which was a hint that they needed to get their own place. Mandy sent weed and lube. They're gay friends, because yes, they have some already. Fuck all things s11. gave them some new toys and Fiona sent down the necklace Monica wore on his first wedding day. Apparently she found it and had been keeping it to give to the first of the siblings to get married. Deep down she always knew it would be for Ian, but she didn't want to play favourites. It's a simple silver necklace with a blue crescent moon. "Pretty fucking perfect" where Mickey's exact words when Ian lifted it up from the box and held it in his hands, swearing to god he could smell her perfume.
Their cake was three tier and Mickey had a different flavour for each. The top was of course carrot cake. You can piece together why, I'm sure. The second tier was white chocolate and raspberry swirl, and the third was chocolate, that was Franny's pick.
120 guests is simple. Gallaghers. Milkovichs that aren't homophobic assholes. Close encounters from Ian's gay Jesus days, kids from the centre that WEREN'T being the security. EMT guests, some of the guys from the club Ian still talks to that he used to dance with, everyone from the Alibi that Mickey can tolerate and of course, their plus ones. Once again, fuck you s11, Ian and Mickey don't need to go out looking for friends.
Mickey will ALWAYS be Mickey to Ian. Mikhalio is his legal name, but it's not his name. Though I do love that Mickey called himself by his legal name when he said his vows. Swoon.
The only thing important to Ian at the wedding was the music. He picked a lot of the songs that represent his feelings toward Mickey and what they mean to one another. Besides that, he allowed Mickey to have the final say. Why? Because he was marrying Mickey and in the end that's the only detail Ian cared about. And two, it's because deep down Ian knew a lot of Mickey's behaviour cycled back to the first wedding that still haunts him. The one he hated but was forced to go ahead with. The one where he had no say and was more for show than for love. This wedding was Mickey's chance to have the dream day to match the dream guy.
