Log:
I. THE CEREMONY
Very thankfully, none of this weekend's craziness has extended to the weather. There might be a few light sun-showers later in the day, but for the morning, the sky is calm and mostly clear, only dappled with a few clouds, the lingering cool from yesterday's rain tempering the tropical air. ... Hopefully the teleportation shenanigans will behave, or the bride will have WORDS with Arceus. (They've already had to deal with emergency fridge repairs this weekend...)
The stretch of beach just outside the house has been decked out to the nines, the seats for trainers, cushions for Pokemon, and the arch facing the sun-kissed ocean not just in Keith and Allura's usual colors of pink, blue, red, and purple, but deep green Monstera leaves and bright flame-colored bird-of-paradise flowers; all the Voltron colors, even if a few members are missing in this world. Guests are urged to sign the guestbook next to the gifts table before taking their seats; thankfully, the programs have been printed on sturdy paper and given little wooden handles so they can double as fans.
Soon enough, Keith arrives with his party, including Captain Shiro taking his place as today's officiant. And after a brief interlude, a long clear trumpet note rings out, and the bridal procession makes its way down the sandy aisle.
II. THE RECEPTION
Rings and vows exchanged, bride kissed, now it's time to party! Everyone is ushered back to the house for a feast prepared by Hunk and Jane, food stations scattered in and around the property.
Chips and pink-tinged flatbread with queso dip, mango ceviche, and a variety of salsas and fruit chutneys; deviled eggs; skewers with coconut shrimp and pineapple, Southwestern chicken, or miso-glazed vegetables; and for the entrees: berry-glazed pork, beef with a red wine sauce, seafood, ears of corn, and sweet potatoes, all slow-roasted in an umu dug into the sand by the house. For drinks- the only station Shiro was allowed to touch- there's wine, champagne, sangria, beer, sake, as well as a few flavors of lemonade and fruit punch for the teetotalers. The dessert table is just as bountiful: miniature galettes in sweet and savory flavors, sopapillas with honey and chocolates for drizzling, and cupcakes filled with a bright green custard. (It's matcha, mint, and basil, don't worry). The centerpiece, of course, is a beautiful, rustic cake, topped with a Litten in a top hat and an Alolan Vulpix with a veil. The cake itself is a marble of chocolate and strawberry, filled with a rick dark chocolate ganache and strawberry compote.
In between bites, there's plenty of music and dancing to be had thanks to a collab band of Kazuki Hihara, Chicken Choice Judy, Misaki Yamazaki, and Super Sonico. Starting off from the bride and groom's first dance, the music for the evening is an excellent balance of classical, classic rock, and modern hits from across the regions and the multiverse, playing long into the day.
Of course, if dancing isn't your thing, two other stations have been set up: two rings drawn into the sand, and one featuring a corner with protective padding and foam weapons. Yes, there's going to be sparring and Pokemon battles at this wedding. Suit up, battle to knock outs or duel to three points, and try not to get hurt, nobody needs a paramedic visit at the wedding.
So eat, drink, dance, duel until Allura tosses the bouquet and the couple head out for their honeymoon. And don't forget to grab a wedding favor before you head home, custom-made by the bride herself!

The Ceremony
Once Kazuki spots the bridal party emerge from the house, he begins a classic trumpet tune to grace the ladies making their way down the steps and towards the altar. Luisa Madrigal leads the way, followed by Fluttershy, and finally Allura herself, maid-of-honor Romelle beside her on one arm, while her first partner Coressa the Alolan Ninetales strides gracefully next to her trainer. Allura's shy smile beams through the simple veil, held in place by the circlet Shiro gave her last Christmas, the five gems in it shining with the Voltron colors. The hand not hooked onto Romelle's elbow fidgets a bit with her bouquet; even with all her experience with public functions, including more than a few weddings, this is so, so different. This is her wedding, to one of the best men in the universe, one of her best friends, and all that joy and excitement threaten to burst out of her. After those few shy glances around the crowd, her eyes meet his, and all the nervous energy transforms into a bright calm. He's here, therefor she can do anything.
