Hi everyone! This is an official invitation to anyone who wants to come. Mikleo and I are getting married on New Years, so if you don't party too hard the night before you can make it in time to party some more! I think at least half of the food is something people will be able to taste? that's the hope, anyway... there will be wine and drinks served at the open bar so make sure to bring your ID. you'll get a wristband and then you won't have to worry about it after that. I also wanted to talk a little about school lesson plans for the days leading up to winter break! class is going to be pretty quiet so here's what I have planned: - we're going to learn how to make paper stars because you're never too old to learn something new! - we will be watching the Muppet Christmas carol because it's historically the best film of all time. I think that's about it. happy holidays everyone! ＼(≧▽≦)／

[ooc: this is backdated a teensy bit because work ate me and I think winter break is probably already happening??? /SWEATS]

I'm stealing Mikleo soon for a bachelor's party~ ♪

[openhanded]

yes!! I'm jealous of all the fun he's gonna have without me!

[Sorey is going to be a big whiny baby without him around and this is something they somehow all agreed to.]

[complementing]

I'll make sure he doesn't have TOO much fun~

are you having a bachelor's party too??

[openhanded]

of course! I'm not sure what the details are since Prompto's kinda in charge of it.

promise me you'll pamper the heck out of Mikleo?

[destiny_key]

[openhanded]

I mean, I do too... my short list is like twenty movies long.

[Maybe things are looking up for Sora and Shiori's relationship? He hopes so.]

[redarm]

[openhanded]

I'm gonna try to sneak in treasure island next semester.

[redarm]

muppets are the shit.
animal speaks to me on so many levels

[...of course he does]

[openhanded]

animal is the real protagonist

I'm not sure which one really resonates with me
maybe the cookie monster

Congrats on the wedding!

alright Muppet Christmas Carol!

can't wait to watch it

[openhanded]

thanks!! I'm sure you're all tired of hearing about it by now... I did a pretty good job of keeping my personal life separate for a while, but kinda hard when it's this close to the date.

I watched it soooo many times. best thing ever!

[cheetahsenpai]

you're welcome!! no it's alright i understand!
i didn't even know you were going out with someone until i saw the invitation really
don't worry i won't spread it

it is! i used to watch it every year when i was little i should get back to watching it again

[openhanded]

it's okay, I don't really mind!

my resolution next year is to not worry so much about what parents will think. I was cautious this year because I was already on shaky ground with my scholarship, but I think it won't be as much of a problem with us being married. and I think it's important that my students know they're not alone, just in case they're in that spot where they're questioning.

I know I could've used that growing up.

[A very naive way to look at it, but he has bigger problems in his life than what some strangers think.]

[judgementkazzy]

Congratulations. :-)
I don't really know you guys, I just wanted to wish you guys a good wedding.
January 1st means you'll never forget your anniversary either.

[openhanded]

thank you so much, and a happy new year to you! we've been getting a lot of well wishes from strangers, but I feel like that's pretty normal? it's such a big life changing event. still hasn't sunk in yet.

also true! I have a pretty good memory when it comes to dates and anniversaries, but I'm awful at doctors appointments. I'll take what I can get and my calendar app can take the rest I guess!

[odasaku]

Congrats on the wedding. Hope the party goes well.

Sorry if this is strange, since we don't know each other.

[openhanded]

thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful new year!

it's not strange at all. whenever I find out someone's engaged or expecting I always congratulate them too.

[odasaku]

That's true.

And, thanks. I hope you have one, too, although it probably goes without saying. It sounds nice to spend the New Year with someone you love.

[ he can't help but feel a bit envious of that, really ]

[openhanded]

hmmm. do you have any plans? I'm sure someone around here is throwing a party if you want something to keep you busy. there's always some kind of party in a college town!

I went to a party last year, but the year before that, I just hung out with friends and drank sparkling cider. there's something to be said for the simple stuff.

[devilsadvocato]

Muppets Christmas Carol truly is the best movie version of the book. The songs are catchy too.

Now. I say this out of love.
Are you sure you want to invite everyone on this network to the wedding? You might get some strangers crashing it for free wedding cake and a chance to get tipsy.

[openhanded]

yes! it's literature. not as secular as I usually go for, but I think this is a good exception.

I already invited Dante. I'm kind of expecting it at this point especially since he crashed my first ghost hunt.

anyway, we catered more food than we have confirmed guests. as far as I'm concerned, let 'em come!

[devilsadvocato]

Well in that case I might have to swing by to congratulate you and your fiance. I promise I'll be well behaved. I can even toss in some bragging to the family about how great your career is going.
