Okay screw it, bbrae wedding hcs
Engaged AF
- bbrae proposal is beautiful but top secret and I cannot share…yet
- But the day after, Starfire sits Raven down with a binder and color coded itemized itineraries
- And Ravens like what is this
- And Star is like you are getting married we must plan the festivities 🥰!!
- And Raven is like 😧
- Bc when she said yes to him she was thinking about marriage, but she completely forgot about…. The wedding 😰(derogatory)
- Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
- She is still traumatized from the Royal Wedding ™ which took like 2 years to plan/2 showers/bach trip/week of wedding shenanigans
- And now Starfire is going on and on about venues and guest lists and plated dinners and *cue slasher music*—
- There are going to be so many people looking at *her*
- And she’s going to have to kiss😥 a man😟in front of all of them😨 !!!!
- starfire’s voice is blurring now and Raven’s anxiously turning the ring she got yesterday, her stomach is sick and it’s all in my head and she’s touching his
- No but in all seriousness she might hyperventilate and/or break the toaster
- Within 5 minuets Raven goes from I’m getting married 😄to I’m getting married
- She knows what she must do
- Ofc she considers the obvious first: kidnapping. throwing a bag over his head, tying him up, dumping him in the trunk and speeding to the courthouse.
- He finds her before she can fully construct that plan.
- It’s okay she can totally convince him
- Update: pookie is not going for the shotgun wedding idea. shes tried 3 manipulation tactics he will not budge😓
- He’s too romantic for his own good
- And too good at storytelling
- Bc now he’s painting her a picture: a much *smaller* picture.
- A house on a few acres of property. Maybe by a lake, maybe in the woods. Quiet. Peaceful. Far away from flashing cameras.
- A small guest list. tiny, really. People who care about them. No cheesy vows. No corny first dance. No stupid plated dinner.
“We can get pizza.”
“…”
“Cmonnnn”
“… fancy pizza?”
“fancy pizza.”
- ok fine maybe a wedding isn’t so bad…
Pre Wedding Shenanigans
- when they tell starfire she’s devastated.
- What do you mean you do not want to release the doves of love?
- She tries pleading with them but it’s too late bc they’ve already booked the venue
- For 2 months out (ha, try to meddle with that timeline starfire)
- Raven figures there is no time to plan showers or any event where she has to open presents in front of an audience
- Or so she thought bc there is a surprise bachelorette party
- Planned. By. Jinx.
- It was horrible. Raven was furious. There were fuzzy handcuffs and ugly lingerie and she’s literally never had so much fun in her life
- And of course there was dress shopping 🙄 bleh
- She doesn’t care. Really. She was planning to get something online. But they were already out and starfire dragged her into a bridal shop “for fun”
- Before the associate can even get out a “hi welcome to—“ Starfire has collected 15 dresses.
- The first one is ugly
- The second one is itchy
- The third one…..
- …..
- ………………………….
- Actually she really doesn’t want to take the 3rd one off
- Starfire is half smug half sobbing
- The smiley sales associate creeps up and turns her around. *Ew.* She hands her a tacky little fake bouquet and starts installing a too-long veil. This is going to look ridiculoOOOooOOO
- Yeah whatever just put it in the bag
- The wedding is getting so close and it’s making her feel a little queasy
- She asks him almost every day
- Let’s just go to the courthouse and get it over with :D
- He always has some moronic excuse
“BuT i LoVe YoU aNd i WaNna sEe yOu wALk tO mE iN wHiTe” yeah whatever buddy🙄
The Day Before
- They all pack up and leave the day before the wedding.
- It’s about an hour away. Just like Gar said, it’s a nice woodland property. Long driveway. Lake off in the distance. And at the center, there’s a clearing. A large house and a courtyard garden with a discrete little path leading over to a honeymoon suite.
- They spend the day setting up.
- Robin is in manager mode. Cyborg is trying and failing to hook up the speakers. Starfire is meticulously arranging and rearranging the place settings and asking ravens opinion on everything.
“Should there not be a lavender sprig in this vase?”
“I. Don’t. Care.”
“Excellent- it shall remain sprigless.”
- Gar is pacing the garden on the phone with the pizza place.
“No dude, for the fifth time, we did NOT order anchovies.” *looks over and notices something. “Please hold. GUYS THERE’S A FIRE PIT!!!!”
- One grocery store run for marshmallows later they’re all gathered it reminiscing and laughing too loud and just being them
- And then it gets too quiet
Starfire: “AHEMHMM It appears we are out of the mallows. RICHARD. Shall you join me in retrieving them from the kitchen?”
Rob: “WHY of course, Starfire. I would love to go inside with you!”
*they stand up and Cy doesn’t take the hint*
Cy: “word!”
*They linger for for a second and then starfire pulls him up from his log with her alien grip*
Cy: “WOAHWOAH—ohhhhhhh right right. YEAP. think I’ll tag along😄”
- not so subtle city
- But bbrae doesn’t care bc they’re alone for the first time all day
- They gotta say goodbye bc Starfire insisted on at least one earth tradition
“The bride and groom shall not see each other before the ceremony lest their bloodline be cursed with infectious warts”
“pretty sure that’s not how it goes”
- They quip back and forth a little
G: “well that was subtle.”
R: “what?”
G: “exactly”
————
R: I might vomit
G: Nervous?😏
R: too many mallows.
G: boooo
- and if they make out a lil that’s neither here nor there
Morning Of
- for once Raven sleeps in while gar wakes up at the butt crack of dawn.
- He went on a run. Ate breakfast. Played cards. And still he was ready by 10. They get married at 4. So now he’s stuck waiting in agonizing anticipation.
- Slowly sliding down into a chair. asking what time it is every 40 seconds. Foot tapping until cyborg yells at him to knock it off.
- Holding a spoon up to see if he can sneak a glimpse of her reflection across the hall -> getting yelled at again
- He won’t ever tell her but he’s definitely regretting not going to the courthouse
- Raven wakes up like a Disney princess
- She takes her time in the morning. Showers, reads, meditates.
- stalls
- Ok maybe it wasn’t just the mallows
- Around noon starfire hands her an envelope “mail call!”
- She opens it
*”okay, I know we agreed no cheesy vows but…”*
- it reads like a handwritten love letter
- And she really can’t believe it… bc she did the same thing
- Across the hall he’s opening his own surprise letter
- that’s about the time he starts to lose his grip
- He can barely get through the opening paragraph
- Bawlllinggg like a baby
- Raven’s reaction is softer but not smaller
- Single tear moment for the win☝️🥇
- She reads his letter like 8 times, he *cannot* read hers more than once or he will not be able to stand during the ceremony
Da Ceremony
- Later guests are showing up
- Raven is soo nervy
- But not as nervy as gar poor fella
- There isn’t really a bridal party. Robin quickly got ordained to marry them. Cyborg and Star are filling “best man/moh”
- Gar is a wreck at the altar and she’s not even there yet.
- Robin is side eyeing him like pull it togetherrrr
- Jinx in the chairs like “no I can’t cry here I’ll never hear the end of it”
- Raven walks herself down the aisle purr 😸😛💅🏻
- He literally- I mean literally folds in- like leans over to compose himself
- Jinx is like “dammit🥺”
- When she gets up there she whispers “told you we should have eloped.” And that lets him laugh a little
- THEY GET MARRIED SLAY✨
Cocktail Hour
- they get married and immediately go missing.
- Starfire is frantic. We are losing the good photo daylight people.
- Seriously there are like 20 people here WHERE COULD THEY HAVE GONE???
- meanwhile the ✨Mr and Mrs✨ shimmied up a drain pipe and are now chilling on the roof watching everyone scurry around like ants
- Unbothered and chatting it up
- Raven’s legs are in his lap
- They lean in for a kiss every couple minutes
- Starfire + Donna found them and are now in a tree snapping photos that will absolutely go on the mantle one day.
Reception
- pizza gets delivered. Sticker says: “15 cheese. 10 vegetarian. 15 pepperoni. Note- Extra Fancy.”
- There wasn’t going to be a photographer but Donna stepped up. And she’s honestly killing it with the candid shots
- Cyborgs speech sets the tone for the evening
“When I was writing this speech, I was originally going to say that I always knew this day would come. But then I realized that that would be a lie, because these two haaaaaaaated each other—”
- everyone bursts into laughter bc… yea
- After dinner, gar is tearin that tiny dance floor UP. By himself.
- It’s like he got drunk off his own tears
- Raven just fondly watches him like wow. I married that dummy.
- He’s singing into the fake microphone and dedicating power ballads to her.
- Like sir, you were just bawling your eyes out 95 minutes ago and now you wanna act all tough in your feather boa
- Starfire is hyping him up
- Jinx also goes over to hype him up just to piss Raven off lolol.
- Eventually people do start to dance… and then
- Ok where the hell are the bride and groom we’re supposed to be cutting the cake
- The bride and groom are slow dancing in the garden
- There they are all aglow under the fairy lights, swaying to the faint music and chirping crickets.
- And gars like ok but when are we gonna go to that honeymoon cottage 👀
- And she’s like oh puh-lease you’ve been Mr sentimental for months and now you’re want to ditch😑
- (But she’s contemplating it👀)
- (Not pictured: Donna in the bushes working ✨magic✨)
- They go back inside for like 20 minutes and then there’s an opening. A diversion. No one’s looking and:
G: “should we make a run for it?”
R: “Try to keep up, husband.”
G: “YEAH !😄”
- and mama they are out that door so fast
- Running down the path, carrying their shoes and giggling bc they feel so sneaky hehehehe
- When they get to the little warm-lit cottage he opens the door and they tumble in.
- when they get inside she like leans her back against it to close it
- And their giggles are just starting to die off, their breathing is softening
- Gar smiles. Lopsided.
“Still wish we eloped?”
- she hums
“Definitely not.”
Back at the Ranch
- Starfire is livid. She had a fake exit planned. She bought sparklers. But no, they’ve sneaked away for the 3rd time.
- She is so mad she’s like “I am going to go and get them”
- And Robin is like babe
- N O
- and she’s like idc I’m GOING
- Shes so mad Vic also has to step in
- They’re like
- If you go stomp down there
- And drag them out of their HONEYMOON suite
- And force them to run through a tunnel of sparklers
- This is not going to end well
- She’s like well what tf are we gonna do with the sparklers
- And Robin is like let it gooooooooo
- (Cut to the 3 titans and honoraries running around in the front yard with like 3 sparklers each)
