Something Blue (Part 1) // Sterek

Derek is getting married and Stiles, as his best man, decides to bring in an old bridal tradition.

Warnings: swearing, a lot of built-up feelings that don't come out in the best of ways.

W/C: 2,487 (total)

A/N: I had to split it into two parts because I was over the tumble world limit apparently??? I didn't even know tumblr HAD a word limit lmao. Anyway, hope y'all enjoy this first part :)

"Okay, Scott? How much time do we have?" Stiles asked, nervously pacing around the room. "Thirty minutes." "Oh my god, we're never gonna make it. Where is he? Where is Derek?" "He's going to be here, don't worry. We got plenty of time." Scott tried calming his best friend down. "It's his wedding, for God's sake! How can someone be late for their own wedding!" Stiles exclaimed, anxiety reeking off of him and invading the room. "Malia just texted me, Braeden is almost ready. I'm gonna go check on the catering and guests, maybe someone knows where he is. You need to calm down Stiles, we're gonna be fine." "I need to tell him, Scott.", Stiles said, eyes sad and shoulders slumped. "And you will. I got you." Scott smiled, putting both hands on his friends's shoulders, giving them a gentle squeeze. "I swear to God if Derek doesn't bring his werewolf ass in here right now-" "Threatening me on my wedding day? I really should have asked Scott to be my best man.". A tall, bulky figure walked into the room, pearly whites flashing as the words left his mouth. "You piece of shit!" Stiles said before taking big strides towards the groom and adjusting his tie. "Relax Stiles, everything is going according to plan. Scott, did Stiles not take his Adderall today?" Derek joked, looking over at the young alpha. Stiles huffed, then stumbled towards his backpack. Ignoring the two wolves making fun of him, he took out some things from his bag and placed them on the room's glass coffee table. "Okay. You, big bad wolf, c'mere." Derek, cocking a brow, approached the small table in the middle of the room. He observed the objects in front of him as he sat on the small sofa. "Stiles? What is this? I refuse to do any sort of voodoo ritual." Scott, standing behind Derek, looked at his best friend with a puzzled expression on his face. "I thought this was only for brides." "Well," Stiles said, "this is no ordinary wedding, so I don't see why only ordinary traditions should apply."

"Can somebody please explain to me what the hell I'm looking at, and what is this supposed to be?" Derek asked, half amused, and half annoyed. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.", Stiles announced proudly as Scott rolled his eyes. Derek furrowed his eyebrows. "Oh my God," Stiles's jaw dropped. "You seriously don't know what I'm talking about?" "I have no idea what this is." the werewolf replied, confusion still plastered on his face. Before Stiles could say anything even remotely sarcastic, Scott said: "Guys, we've got twenty minutes. Stiles, make it fast." "Alright alright." the amber-eyed replied. He took a deep breath, unsuccessfully trying to calm his nerves. "As your best man,-" he started. "The worst decision of my life by the way, don't know what I was thinking." Derek interrupted him, chuckling. Stiles glared at him. "I was saying…" he continued, stressing the final word while shooting one last annoyed look at the giggly man opposite to him. "As your best man, it is my duty to make sure you enter this new chapter of your life in the best way possible, carrying bits and pieces of your life before that horrible mistake when you decided to marry Terminator's daughter." "You know her name is Braeden. And, come on, be nice to her -- she saved all of our lives. I still don't understand why you hate her so much." "It's not her that I hate…" Stiles mumbled. For a split second, Derek saw a glint in his best man's eyes. It was pure sadness, but it lasted for so little he questioned whether he'd imagined it. "Anyway, I took the liberty of borrowing a bridal tradition. In front of you you have three objects," Stiles said, before picking up the first one. "Wait, weren't they supposed to be four?" Derek questioned. "We'll get to that in a minute. Now, the first one; something old." "The triskelion?" "Yeah. This part is about having a relic, something that will always remind you about your roots. The sentimental value this thing holds is insane." Derek raised an eyebrow. "Think about it. Your mom used it to help you and your sisters learn how to control your powers. It's been in your family for years, Kate tried to steal it… you even have it tattoed on your back!" Stiles explained. "I also used it with Liam." Derek pointed out. "Yeah, but that was a total disaster." Derek looked at him, lips tight in a thin line, the eyebrow still cocked. "What? It's not my fault your whole "We can all rise and fall to another" speech didn't work." "Alright, alright. Stiles? Move on." Scott intervened, time slowly running out. He nodded, giving Derek the triskelion, who put it in the inner pocket of his tuxedo. "Object number two, something new.", Stiles said. Derek held it for a few moments, before shooting his head up and asking: "What the hell am I supposed to do with a roll of duct tape?", annoyance oozing from his voice. "Trust the process. The "something new" is an object that will help you in your new life."

Skeptic, Derek let his best man keep talking. "And now something borrowed. Courtesy of Jackson." "I don't need a bow tie, I'm already wearing a tie." "See," Stiles said, making his way to the groom, "This sentence is exactly why you need the bow tie." Kneeling before him, he undid Derek's tie and started tying the navy blue satin bow tie Jackson had lent for the occasion. Derek hardly ever wore suits, and even more rarely tuxedoes. He liked casual and comfy clothes and had no interest in the world of elegance. However, when the engagement had been announced and his closet opened, the only suit Stiles had been able to find was dusty, crumpled, and sprinkled with holes made by some very hungry moths. So he had forced the alpha to the best suit shop in Beacon Hills, where Derek had gotten a tailor-made navy blue tuxedo with black satin flaps that had been hunting Stiles in his dreams ever since the first time he had seen it on the werewolf. But Derek had drawn the line at that, refusing to spend one more dollar on his appearance, claiming that he wasn't getting married to the crowd but to Braeden. "She loves me for me. I don't give a shit about what the guests are gonna think." "You really thought I was going to let you stand there, butchering all degrees of style?" Stiles asked cockily, straightening the perfect bow he had tied. "Oh come on, you're being dramatic." Derek rolled his eyes. Stiles scoffed. "First of all, you were wearing a TIE. With a TUXEDO. Ties are worn with suits, bow ties are for tuxedoes." Derek's eyes widened slightly, surprised at the reaction. "Okay fashion police, my bad." "And let's not even mention the state of the tie you were wearing… Terrible!" "Okay- Stiles? It's okay. We get it. Move on.", Scott said, worry in his eyes. "No you don't!" Stiles almost shouted, suddenly misty-eyed.

Best Man with a broken...something! If it were me, I'd have done no sock, let the attendees at the wedding realize that putting a sock on was not practical because your toes start to roast. I LOVE this photo though!

Were you there? I was. Also I've been looking for a chance to use some tasty hors d'oeuvres in a collage. Not that I knew how to spell hors d'oeuvres, let alone pronounce what sounds like oh doove

Who is the World's Best Man?

Determining the "world's best man" is a subjective quest. There's no single answer, as the qualities that define a good best man can vary depending on individual values and priorities. However, exploring this concept allows us to appreciate the characteristics that make a man a dependable and supportive friend.

Defining "Best Man"

The term "best man" traditionally refers to a close friend or relative of the groom who plays a crucial role in a wedding ceremony. This role often extends beyond the ceremony itself, with the best man offering the groom support and guidance throughout the wedding planning process. But the essence of a "best man" transcends weddings. In its broader sense, it refers to a man who embodies the qualities of a trustworthy and dependable friend. He is someone you can rely on through thick and thin, someone who offers unwavering support and celebrates your victories.

Qualities of a Good Best Man

So, what qualities make a man a good best man? Here are some key characteristics: - Loyalty and Trustworthiness: A good best man is someone you can confide in without reservation. He keeps your secrets and is always there for you, no matter the situation. - Supportiveness: A best man offers unwavering support, both emotionally and practically. He is your cheerleader, celebrating your successes and offering a shoulder to lean on during tough times. - Reliability: You can always count on a good best man to be there when he says he will be. He is dependable and follows through on his commitments. - Integrity: A best man has strong moral principles and a good sense of right and wrong. He is someone you can admire and respect. - Respect: A good best man respects your decisions and boundaries. He is someone you feel comfortable being yourself around. - Good sense of humor: A best man can lighten the mood and help you see the humor in challenging situations.

Contenders for the Title

Throughout history, numerous figures have been recognized for their exemplary character and virtue. While not all were best men in the traditional sense, they embody the qualities that make a man a great friend. - Historical Figures: - Mahatma Gandhi: A champion of nonviolent resistance, Gandhi is revered for his courage, integrity, and unwavering commitment to his beliefs. - Nelson Mandela: An anti-apartheid revolutionary and South Africa's first black president, Mandela is celebrated for his resilience, compassion, and dedication to justice. - Fictional Characters: - Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird): A moral compass for his community, Atticus Finch exemplifies courage, integrity, and a strong sense of justice. These are just a few examples, and there are countless others throughout history and literature who embody the qualities of a good best man.

Conclusion

The "best man" is ultimately a relative concept. The most important thing is to find a friend who embodies the qualities that you value most. Whether it's unwavering loyalty, unwavering support, or a strong moral compass, the best man is someone who enriches your life and makes you a better person. Read the full article

Origins: The Neck Tie

copyright © Anthony Gillespie Let’s talk about neck ties, shall we? It’s that strip of fabric that men wrap around their necks before they head out into the world, making them look like they’re going to attend a formal event even if they’re just going to the office. But have you ever wondered where the necktie originated? Well, let me tell you a story. Most historians believe that the necktie…
