MAWWIAGE IS WHAT BWINGS US TOGETHEW TODAY

• It's basically just one big feast, yeah? Skyhold is the site of both the ceremony and reception; the ceremony takes place in the throne room, and it's relatively short so as not to bore the masses. The reception is where the party's at, moving outdoors to the courtyard of Skyhold, with plenty of tables and chairs and twinkle lights set up.

• Food is set up as well, lots of simple and delicious things appropriate for autumn like wood-fired pizza, barbecue, a roast or two, sweet and savory crêpes, maybe a cheese board buffet (and vegetables), and candied apples (don't break any teeth). The pièce de résistance cake was made by Bitty, a rustic donut-themed delight in honor of Griddy's, from Allison's homeworld. The groom's cake (the Eleven Seven) was made by Bitty as well and is a maple carrot caramel treasure.

• It's also a halfway dry wedding reception - you won't find any hard liquor, but beer and wine are available. Besides coffee, soda, and tea there's a bar where guests can design their very own "mocktails" with all sorts of fresh juices and infused water, if you're into that.

•The 'theme' (loose term) is masquerade, due to the fact that the wedding occurs during the week of Satinalia. Guests are free to wear their own masks, but if someone forgets there are baskets of party foil masks placed throughout. Feel free to pick one up (or not, that part is totally optional but it does kind of add to the fun).

• As for music, there's definitely a live orchestra (a small one, brought to us by Vanya) so the dance floor will remain open for the duration of the party - they take requests too, FYI.

• If you get drunk-ass rowdy or stupid, Allison will rumor you into behaving. Enjoy!
