@angeliatheturkishdelight sents a love message to @jackcowboyhero / @dimenovelhero / @isyancialtan / @yuruyenolusehzade !!!!
All my love goes out to my dearest friend and rp partner I've had for the longest time here. Thank you for always being here for me, behind the muse. No matter what ideas we come up with, we always manage to finagle into our threads, like the little inside jokes. I'm so grateful that you are always so open to ask me what we could possibly do next and the ideas you have. I'm so glad that you also fell in love with Turkish drama series like I have, loving them enough to make Sarp and Bayezid accounts! You're one in million. I love you!
where they get married: Outside, like in a little grassy area near a little banquet hall, under a tree? They then go inside to the hall for the reception because Jenny had so much anxiety about getting rained on.
when they get married ( ie what time of day, what month and season etc. ): Early summer, like late May-mid-June. It’s the end of the school year and it’s nice and warm, so it works out nicely. Their ceremony is probably around noon
what traditions they include ( do they get married under a chuppah and crush a glass, garter toss, ‘something borrowed, something blue,’ etc. ): I feel like their wedding is pretty mellow over all? I mean, they do the usual ones, like the ones mentioned in this meme (best man speech, first dance, bouquet toss, etc.), and I also imagine Jenny is very insistent about Jack not seeing her before the wedding day, insisting that it’s bad luck. Jenny also does some research and they do some Gaelic wedding traditions as well, like handfasting and a traditional Celtic wedding pledge after they give their own vows. But other than that, they’re pretty much your average American wedding
what their wedding cake looks like: Super lowkey. I actually bet a friend made it for them? Just because the cakes were so expensive and their wedding was so small, they figured it would be easier to just have someone they knew do it. As a result, it’s a pretty simple cake, probably two tiers, likely buying into the naked cake trend with real flowers as accents? Looking something like this, maybe?
….who smashes cake into whose face: Jenny smashes it into Jack’s face first and he only retaliates after she does. Marco also does it to Matilda because he is confused and thinks that’s what everyone is doing now.
who proposed to who first: Jack, although Marco accidentally spills the beans before hand.
who walks down the aisle and who waits at the altar ( or neither ): Jenny walks down the aisle, Jack is stationed at the alter. I don’t know if she’d have anyone walk her down the aisle, but Matilda gives her mom away and I could see Marco insisting that he get to do that with Jack? And they decided they liked symbolism and stuck with it.
what their wedding dresses / suits / other look like: Jack is pretty dressed down, I doubt he even has a jacket and it’s probably not even in black. Like, dress pants, vest, dress shirt with sleeves rolled up and a navy blue tie? Jenny’s dress is more vintage looking with a lot of lace. Probably tea length, something like this. Also, I’m pretty convinced she’s barefoot because she was so scared she’d turn her ankle walking in heels in the grass. She gets one of those pretty little foot things? I don’t know what they’re called, but they look like this?
what their wedding colour scheme is and what sort of decor they have: I don’t think they go for anything super strict or narrow for decor? I think it’s probably just sort of neutral colors and sort of a more rustic theme? Pennet banners, sunflowers, mason jars, burlap, those sorts of things.
what flowers are in the bouquet ( if applicable. bonus: what do the flowers mean? ): Baby’s breath, a little bit of greenery, and light pink peonies is what I’m imagining.
what their vows are ( eg poetry, traditional, improvised etc. ): I feel like they have some idea where they’re going, but they’re largely sort of improvised? To speak from the heart sort of idea. Also vows that are mentioned below that go with the handfasting and the Gaelic vows I linked.
if anyone’s late to the wedding: Race, almost. Just barely. He snuck in while Jenny was coming down the aisle and everyone was looking at her.
who’s in the bridal parties / groomsmen / other: Sarah is her maid of honor and I’m inclined to say David is Jack’s? His groomsmen are probably Race and other canon newsies? Jenny only has a few other bridesmaids
what their bridal party / groomsmen / other are wearing: Groomsmen are dressed the same as Jack, but instead of a vest, they’re wearing suspenders #sorrynotsorry. As for the ladies, they’re in knee length dresses in like a champagne pink? They’re more of a sheath dress with 3/4 sleeves? Also super lacy, like this. Matilda is obviously the flower girl and Jenny just gives her free reign on what kind of dress she gets, as long as it’s pink like the bridesmaids or ivory like her’s. Marco is the ringbearer and he’s basically a little back with a bowtie instead of a tie.
who gives speeches at the reception ( bonus: what do they say? recount a sweet memory or two between them? tell an embarrassing story? ): Davey gives a speech because he’s obligated as the best man. He most just teases Jack the whole time and the gist is that, “thank god you finally settled down.” But obviously done in a loving, brotherly way. Matilda and Marco give a little speech too, but I see Matilda doing most of the talking and Marco just standing next to her and nodding.
who catches the bouquet( s ): Sarah. Mostly because the party was so small.
what their wedding photos are like ( are they sweet, with the couple holding hands or kissing or ~gazing into each others eyes~? are they silly, with a snapshot of the ‘cake-smash’ moment? or are they artistic, with one of them facing the sunset or holding their bouquets? ): Combination of sweet and funny. Like, there’s a bunch of sweet, romantic ones where they have their foreheads resting against each other or he has her wrapped up in his arms. But they also have a bunch with the kiddos, so there’s some where they have like a superhero stance or Jack is holding Marco upside down. I think they also have some from the reception too, lots of them laughing together, like they’re the only people in the room, cake smash moment, and them dancing. I dunno. Combo of funny and sweet, which seems appropriate for their relationship.
what sort of food they have at the reception: Not sure. I want to say Mexican food because I need Manny involved in this relationship too? Or I could see them doing it potluck style? Like, everyone brings a dish so they don’t have to charge people per plate.
who cries first during the ceremony: Jenny is crying as she’s walking down the aisle, let’s be real.
how wild their reception gets ( who dances the best, who gets drunk first, etc. ): Not wild at all, really. They do have some friends there, like Jenny’s teacher friends and people Jack has made friends with at work, but his family is there, and so are Marco and Matilda, so things don’t get too wild. Jenny does get a little tipsy, but only because she’s a lightweight. Jack is a much better dancer during fast songs, but Jenny handles slow dancing much better. Still, they try to lead/help each other out depending on what’s playing.
what their rings are like: Okay, I’m real emotional about this, but I see this tying into the research Jenny did on Gaelic weddings? She liked the traditional looking wedding rings and the simplicity of them, compared to the other wedding rings she saw? And she liked the equity of them. So, I think they probably have simple claddagh rings, like this. I was also thinking about the engagement ring he gives her, and I’m figuring it’s also very simple and understated because he knew she wouldn’t want anything big and flashy. Something like this, maybe?
what sort of favours they have ( heart shaped sparklers, mini champagne bottles, personalised candy etc. ): They get little jars of honey because Jack thought it’d be funny. They probably have some personalized label that says something like, “I get to take my Honey home and so do you,” or some other terrible joke about her last name.
where they go for their honeymoon: We’ve discussed this, but like, a cabin in one of the national parks (I’m inclined to say in Colorado?) for a week. Just the two of them and they kind of just hang out in the quiet and rest and take hikes and it’s nice.
something memorable that happens during the party / ceremony ( do they run out of ice and someone goes to get it in full formal wear on foot, does anyone fall asleep in the middle of the party, etc. ): I don’t think anything super wild happens? Marco might fall asleep at the table because he’s little and he’s been up a long time. But other than that, it’s pretty mellow.
who officiates the ceremony: Just...a third grade teacher Jenny knows who got certified online? Because they don’t really have a religious leader to do it.
what song their first dance is to: THIS IS SO HARD FOR ME TO CHOOSE. “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra, maybe? Or “At Last” by Etta James? I feel like it’s probably something old school, though.
who gives who away as they walk down the aisle: Matilda gives away Jenny. Marco gives away Jack. At last, there is balance in the universe.
YOOOOO do you want to pick one from the touch meme, because pretty much any of them could apply to THESE HOOLIGAN KIDS WHO HAVE ESCAPED THEIR WEDDING?! :p (or not, if you'd rather do a new verse. Anything's tine.)
sahdkajshdas YES PLEASE YES PLEASE!!!
✿ : trailing soft kisses down their arm ★ : pressing a kiss to the back of their hand(i… i cheated… it’s fINE, IT’S FINE!)
The little church… was growing even littler as Caroline watched it fade away into the distance.
Jack was driving, of course, and to be honest– Caroline didn’t quite know what to do with herself. This idea had been far-fetched when they’d initially conjured it: she hadn’t even bothered to think of all the questions she had now… Where would they go? Where would they sleep? What would they do, when they got to the somewhere they didn’t know, and how would………
The thought, the doubt, became background static: When she coddled herself nearer to his side. Despite all the thinking she’d suddenly been doing, Caroline went along to do something thoughtless: a kiss, not the one they’d been intended to share in front of the whole little town, but just to his shoulder. Another, as she slunk down further into her seat, to his bicep. Selfishly, she claimed his arm nearer to her for herself, trailing teensy, mindless kisses down his arm– even gathering up his hand in her own so the final peck could land on his knuckles.
And even then, while wide-eyed and staring out the window, as life passed on by; Caroline kept hold so as to press her cheek to the back of his hand. “We made the right choice, ya?” As right as they could be, she assumed, but it’d be nicer to hear it from him… she didn’t quite trust herself much any more.
Then, before he could even respond, spoken against his skin: “We made the right choice…” at least, that time, it didn’t sound so much like a question…
@dimenovelhero / @jackcowboyhero ((SO FLIPPING TRUE THOUGH!!!! Like, Pulitzer at least has some class and dignity at the end of the story and (kinda) admits that he made a mistake, while Snyder is gonna die thinking what he was doing was okay))
We walked from Brooklyn to Columbus Circle, did the Tenement Museum (and everything in between), met @seize-the-davey and @jackkellystories (which was amazing), and ended up at 54 Below with Tommy Bracco (nbd) (the biggest deal actually). Basically @jackcowboyhero and I conquered NYC in 2 days and #newsiesforever is real. ❤️
@jackcowboyhero replied to your post: ok, but what if i put medda from the newsies movie...
I WOULD 100% WRITE WITH MEDDA (I also have Jack’s dad as a side muse, just sayin’) :p
now ur just flirting, ok? (i just need to dive into the code to add her. legit happening. now i just need to pick WHICH of the backstories i’ve used for her. lol and find some poor unsuspecting newschild to adopt as a whoops-and-then-gave-away-baby.)
He shoved her down, her knees striking the floor hard a moment before her hands did. “Shit, Jack!” Frowning she sat back, looking down at her palms, red and stinging. She tossed her hair out of her face, glaring up at him. “What the hell was that for?”
