a very aruani wedding 🐚 🌊 💙
and yes— annie’s wedding dress is blue :) and i based it off of this dress here. (under the cut is a very long winded headcanon about the dress picking process)
personally, i think that annie isn’t really one to care about traditions surrounding weddings or anything; for her, she’s just happy to be alive, and she’s really getting married to armin for a display or stunt if anything. she’d be perfectly happy to spend the rest of her life with him unmarried, as long as he never leaves her or vice versa. but armin suggests getting married, and she agrees, because she loves him so much so sure? why not get married.
the months leading up to the wedding she’s really not feeling it, though. again, she wasn’t too much into the idea of a wedding because she would find them to be weird and traditional. and the whole “wearing a white dress for purity” or whatever— she thinks that’s complete bullshit. she’s not a dress girl, anyways, and she and armin have absolutely…explored each others bodies before their wedding, so annie really isn’t into the idea of a fancy white dress— or a fancy dress at all, for that matter.
when pieck takes her dress shopping, annie finds herself sicker and sicker at the thought of being wrapped up tightly in an uncomfortable white dress that she’ll absolutely trip over. it’s been 2 hours of looking at dresses and trying them on and annie has hated every single one— until they’re walking in a downtown city in some country (wherever they are, it doesn’t matter) and a beautiful blue dress in a shop’s window catches annie’s eye. she cannot help but stare— it’s a beautiful dress. but she resigns herself to moving on because, well, a.) it wasn’t white, and wedding dresses are white, and b.) it was probably meant for a debutante or some other teenage girl, not a woman about to marry her fiancé. but pieck catches her staring and oh my god it’s the first time annie has ever looked at a dress like that!! so of course she takes her hand and pulls her into the shop to try the dress on. and annie does, reluctantly because she doesn’t want to have her heart captured by this dress and inevitably compare every other one to it and be disappointed, but once she has the dress on she feels gorgeous.
annie has never felt so pretty before. she’d always been treated like a warrior, but in this blue dress that gently flowed to the floor and hugged her in all the right places without being too tight, she felt like a woman. it wasn’t too feminine, but just enough to make her feel giddy and she can’t stop smiling and staring at herself in the mirror in this gorgeous light blue gown. it matches the color of her eyes, and she looks truly like a diamond or sapphire or some other gem. but she tells pieck she can’t have this dress because it’s blue and wedding dresses are white. but oh my god, pieck is so excited and she might be shedding a tear or two, and is like “annie!! who cares if it’s blue!!”
annie’s all confused bc that’s, like, the whole point of a wedding dress, but pieck goes on a rant along the lines of “you could wear a trash bag to your wedding and armin would think you’re the most beautiful person in the world,” and “who really cares about that stupid tradition, it’s kinda sexist anyways,” and “it’s your wedding, wear whatever the hell will make you feel like the best version of yourself because this is one of the most important and beautiful days of your life.” most importantly, annie looks so happy in this dress, and pieck relishes that feeling.
so annie gets the blue dress, white wedding dress be damned. and she feels beautiful. she is beautiful, radiant, and all the adjectives. jean and pieck conspire to get armin a matching blue tie (without spoiling the surprise of annie’s dress).
and come wedding day? yeah… armin does think that annie is the most beautiful person in the world, because she is. and now she’s his wife.

Still a trio after all this time 💗
[ID: A drawing of Miles Edgeworth, Larry Butz, and Phoenix Wright; both from the present and past. Near the top of the image the trio is posing for a photo; Larry, in the middle, is grinning widely, and leaning his elbows on the shoulders of the other two. Miles crosses his arms, looking toward his friends and scowling over the contact, Phoenix smiles fondly while observing the interaction. In the middle and lower half of the image, and superimposed over their older figures, is a picture of their younger selves in a very similar position. Young Larry is once again in the middle, leaning his arms on his friends’ shoulders, while young Miles opens his mouth in protest, and young Phoenix is again observing his friends and laughing with a open smile. End ID]

one thing about annie that i love is that in most of her official arts with armin, she is wearing pink/more girly and feminine things — because armin treats her and allows her to feel not like a weapon but a woman, and no one had treated her like that before him. and with armin, she can express that girly side of herself and enjoy things like pinks and purples, flowers, and styling her hair because armin allows her to feel like it’s okay to enjoy those things now 🫶💞🥹

I'm rewatching What We Do in the Shadows from the beginning to get ready for season 6, and man I love this show. The characters have come a long way from their starting point even if it hasn't always been a completely linear path, and it's still so charming and silly right from the beginning. What a great queer camp vamp show TvT
