If you expected anything less than bright colors, chaotic floral arrangements, and an untraditional wedding party, then you might be in the wrong place. On September 9th, 2023, Blue "She's Not Telling You Her Middle Name" Sargent marries Richard Campbell Gansey III (Yes, there are three of them, but this one is the only one that matters) in an incredibly not understated wedding. Guests are encouraged to wear bold patterns and colors—much like the couple already does—but if you need a little help, the "official" ones of the wedding are salmon and aquamarine.

The ceremony takes place on the back of the property, with the lush treeline of the sentient forest, Cabeswater, as the background. The aforementioned chaotical floral arrangement covers the wedding arch, where Blue and Gansey exchange vows in front of their friends and found family (don't worry, it's short and utterly non-denominational; guests will only need to listen to both of them tell really silly inside jokes and share stories of their traveling exploits that culminated in the both of them saying I do.)

After Blue and Gansey are officially announced as husband and wife, the wedding party and guests are ushered to the largest building on The Barns property. Tables decorated with Blue's DIY centerpieces and a riot of colorful plates, napkins, and string lights welcome the guests. Dinner is buffet style (see below) and a dance floor playing nothing but the best dance battle music — and softer ones for the romantics — keeps the night going. Speeches from the Best Men and the Best Drow of Honor punctuate the evening, along with the stereotypical bouquet toss for any single person. (Blue will make you go out there, she threatens!)

The reception runs late, but if you manage to stay awake long enough, guests can catch Blue and Gansey slow dancing in the middle of the floor until the very last person leaves.

EAT AROUND THE WORLD
Several buffet-style tables are set up with food warmers for the reception, showcasing an "eat around the world" variety of foods. Each table is themed for a location that Blue & Gansey have traveled or lived back home, with food from there.

TABLE ONE (South America): Feijoada (hearty stew), Acarajé (crispy fritters), Empadãos (meaty filled pies), Pão de queijo (cheese bread), Coxinha (chicken croquettes), Brigadeiro (chocolate truffles).
TABLE TWO (Egypitan/North Africa): Aish Baladi (pita bread) and Hummus (chickpea dip), Koshari (lentil rice dish), Ta'ameya (deep-fried bean/spice Egyptian falafel), Basbousa (syrup soaked semolina cake)
TABLE THREE (Wales): Welsh rarebit (fancy cheese on toast), Glamorgan sausage (cheese and leeks in breadcrumbs), Oggies (Lamb and leek filled pastry), Tatws pum munud (bacon, potato and vegetable soup), Teisennau Tatws (potato cakes).
CAKE TABLE: A large three tier cake, chocolate and vanilla. Each tier has a different filling (Cherry, White Chocolate, Orange Curd)
BAR: There is an open bar (though they will cut off anyone visibly drunk to prevent someone from falling into the cake or destroying all of the decorations) with on-theme styled alcoholic drinks and mocktails.
