#anakin and padme's wedding

Highlights of Anakin and Padmé's wedding

From my Promises of Fools AU. I was dreaming about the wedding today.

-Despite the shadows of his mother's recent death, and the coming war, Anakin is actually incredibly happy. He feels really guilty about that sometimes. He also breaks down at least twice with missing Shmi, and wishing she could be there. But he's glad for a party, he's so glad to celebrate something with so many people who are so important to him. A lot of other people feel the same, like it's a grand joyful event where they can forget about all the darkness, and party for a day.

-Anakin and Padmé have their first real argument over what Anakin should wear at the wedding. Since he's not a Jedi anymore, Padmé wants his to dress fancy, like a proper Naboo groom. He's like, "But I'm not from Naboo. Wearing clothes that fancy would just feel silly and stupid." Anyway, they strike a compromise of Anakin wearing simple clothes of a similar cut to his Jedi robes, but with Naboo colours of blue and green. And some intricate embroidery honouring Shmi.

-Quu-Gon bestows a special gift on Anakin, a remnant of his own wedding. I think it's like a scarf or maybe even a full cloak, that Rae-Lin had woven for him in the time-honoured Stewjon tradition.

-Obi-Wan is Best Man, Sabé is Maid of Honour

-The Larses are reluctant to come, but Anakin arranges for someone to take care of their farm for a week, so they can have a vacation. Cliegg is all gruff and pretends to sniff at the young folks having fun, but he's actually glad to know Shmi's son is finding such happiness. The Larses go home with several useful gifts.

-Cliegg gives Padmé a gift, something from Shmi's wedding.

-There's an open invitation to the Jedi, and to Anakin’s astonishment BOTH Mace and Yoda show up, all solemn and ceremonial. But then Mace gives Anakin a hug and does the same for Padmé, and Yoda gives a solemn blessing. Quinlan crashes the party after the official part.

-Per Naboo custom, both Sabé and Obi-Wan have to give speeches, as the closest friends of the bride and groom. Obi-Wan makes his up on the spot, and it's a cracker. Everyone cries. Except when they're laughing at the embarrassing stories. Sabé gets really emotional when she's giving her speech.

-Qui-Gon sort-of-accidentally, sort-of-voluntarily makes a speech too.

-Jar-Jar brings some chaos, but also plenty of laughter, and is the life of the party, so to speak.

-The heroes of Naboo reunited!!! I REALLY want a picture of them: Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padmé, Sabé, and Jar-Jar. All together for a nice holoshot.

-I'm also picturing Yoda and Mace sitting quietly, sipping their glasses of Nubian wine, while Jar-Jar and Quinlan dance wildly in the middle of a circle of jumping, clapping friends. Of course, Mace and Yoda have to slip out once or twice to take calls on urgent matters. 🙄

-But they also attract some of the kids, who drag Mace out onto the dance floor. Yoda gleefully joins the musicians, and plays one song very badly, forcing them to wave him away. It's after that, that they sit quietly, sipping some wine, and watching the revelry.

-Anakin and Padmé dancing. They've prepared by teaching each other the basics of Nubian and Tatooine dancing, so it becomes a mashup of sorts.

-Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan sitting back, Obi-Wan leaning on his dad's shoulder, and Qui-Gon speaking softly of Rae-Lin and how beautiful she had looked on their wedding day. Obi-Wan always likes to hear about his mother, even if it's a little sad.

-R2-D2 records everything.

-Padmé and her girls do a group dance that is all stunning choreography and sheer grace.

-Padmé's dad gives a lovely speech.

-Anakin gets a liiitle tipsy, and goes around saying sweet things to everyone, all of which he means sincerely.

-Anakin and Padmé get to run out of the party to a waiting speeder, giggling like children the whole way. They get a three day honeymoon, before it's back to business on Coruscant.

-The party goes on into the night. Obi-Wan does something he hasn't done in a few years at least, and falls asleep on his dad's shoulder.

Anakin works his jaw, inhales slowly and then exhales through his nose. “We must return to Coruscant,” he replies as if she has not spoken. “I must return to the Temple.”

Logically, he knows that there is nothing he could do for Obi-Wan should the man be ill. He is not a healer. He is a soldier, and if Obi-Wan is sick, there is nothing a soldier can do for him. It is a battle Obi-Wan has to fight alone.

But he can still be there with him. For him. He has spent so many years by his master’s side in health—should he not be there when his master is sick as well? “Have they called you to return?” Padmé crosses her arms over her chest, and Anakin’s eyes snap to her face. Her hair is styled elaborately on top of her head, pinned and curled into exquisite decoration. Unbidden, and almost nonsensically, he wonders when she last wore it plainly around him. As she is dressed now, she looks as she does when she is preparing to take on the Senate—as if she is wearing armor.

“No,” Anakin says. “But they need me—”

Padmé’s eyes narrow. “Do they need you, or do you just wish that Master Kenobi did?”

"You approach it like any other scene. You know what you want to accomplish in the scene, and if kissing is a means to get that, then you kiss. Natalie and I befriended each other and got along well, so we felt relatively comfortable with it. She's a very attractive girl, so they weren't asking too much of me-it wasn't anything I wasn't willing to do." -Hayden Christensen, on kissing scenes with Natalie Portman in Attack of the Clones

So I recently discussed this with @bitter-chocolate-stars and I need you guys to know I am CLAMBERING for an AU where the nulls, who famously (to their brothers who probably think they’re ICONS) took over a whole fucking part of the whole cloning facility of Kamino after the Kaminoan’s told Kal Skirata (Dad) to get out because they don’t need trainers anymore and the war just started and the nulls are like ‘what if we stage a coup’. And it fucking works?????

Yeah I want an AU where the Jedi are like ‘lmao that’s a good idea y’all know any other clones that can help with that to take over more of the facility?’ And Alpha 17 and his commanders melt out of the walls like ‘hey we got this’ and take over all of Kamino and the Jedi look at the senate all ‘sowwwwwwwy, we twied so vewy hawd to get them to stand dowwwwwwwn 😭’ and force the senate to make a draft which halts the entire fuckin war in its tracks and then Palpatine throws a tantrum and reveals he’s a Sith so they kill him and go hunting for the other generals who got sat on by the Kilo beast lmao whoops.

Anyways. I think the nulls should have been allowed to take over Kamino and declare themselves a third faction of the war and maybe even convince the droid army to get jealous and stage their own coup with R2-D2 as their general and idk man idk that would be super funny.

Kal, after being handed the entire clone army: oh my god my throat is gonna kill me after I say the gai bal manda for all of them

Also Jango is alive and under house arrest in the Jedi temple with Boba so he’s like. Whatever. Might as well happen. Fuck all y’all at least he has his kid and probably anxiety meds from the healers. He’s taking a vacation. Boba is learning how to steal initiates to cheer Buir up by shoving them in his arms when he looks sad in the gardens. Grogu is his little pal he’s such a bad boy they commit crimes together.

The nulls find Tag and Bink and adopt them what crimes do you think they will commit? Tax fraud probably.

Someday I'll Write It:

I hand to you my heart;

I pledge to you my person;

I bestow to you my body;

I swear to you my soul.

From this day and forever forward.

Until the seas run dry and the stars burn out?

And beyond.

absolutely delightful the way FCG and FRIDA's relationship is intensifying at such a ridiculous rate, and how it is equally the fault of christian's "i came here to romance a PC and i wont stop until matt kicks us off the table" enthusiasm, and sam 'shit stirrer' riegel's overwhelming love of Continuing The Bit, helped in no small part by everyone around them recognising the comedic goldmine that is this dynamic and providing them with fodder at every opportunity (see imogen telling FCG that married people wear rings)

honestly at this point i hope it escalates into a full blown elopement just so we can see the rest of bells hells react to FCG speedrunning from first crush to marriage within like five fucking days

"Threepio sent how many messages?" Anakin asked. "And you screened all of them?"

Padme laughed as the first of several messages from their anxious protocol droid began to play in front of her.

"We have plenty of time," she said. "I'm sure that's what Artoo has been telling him."

R2-D2 beeped affirmatively as the lake house came into view below them. Anakin was smiling as he brought the ship down, looking at her like she was a planet he was seeing for the first time.

Anakin getting married at nineteen is absolutely hilarious to me. Hysterical. This is peak comedy to me. Like, I cannot for the life of me imagine a boy who is in a monastic order that strongly discourages marriage getting married like two years out of high school. If it weren’t for the Shakespearian overtones of the prequels, this would probably get dunked on a whole lot more. I understand the whole lense of tragedy and sadness that the prequels are going for, so I forgive it a lot more. It has a sense of medieval aesthetic; the young knight marries his beloved before going off to war because both are afraid that they may never truly be together. 

That being said, the Star Wars prequels missed out on the opportunity to have Anakin and Padme get Vegas-married, all drunk and shit, and then just stay married because shit, why the hell not. Like, it makes so much more sense if it’s put that way. You could have a scene where the two get drunk because they’re depressed they started the war. They’re both already so reckless, so a bit of alcohol might push them over what they were already thinking about. What makes more sense; a marriage between two sober people, one of whom is twenty-four and mature enough to understand that they are both throwing away their careers for this, or two drunk idiots deciding that marriage after two days of knowing each other is the best fucking idea?

Oops, my hand slipped and I started another crack fic after thinking about this post.

Aayla put her hands on her hips. “Last night, Vicky Pavalopolis saw you sucking the lips off some girl in Dex’s parking lot. Well, she told her master, who told my master, who told your master…let me put it this way, Anakin: You’re busted.”

Gossiping padawan Vicky Pavalopolis sees something of note while on a night out with her friends and inadvertently changes the fate of the galaxy.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep: the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.

I needed to reblog this because my partner said it looked like Obi-Wan was invited to a wedding but didn't know it was his, while Anakin and Ahsoka helped to plan it
