romcom mood tonight so here’s the love enthusiast wedding planner & love avoidant wedding band bassist who keep getting booked on the same events 
MG’s working & he catches the one of the band members (which instrument did he play again?) grabs an entire vodka bottle from the open bar... before his set.
he looks MG dead in the eye, says, "gonna need this," and chugs.

obviously he’s horrified, but he can't make a scene right there and then.
he does hunt WW down after & finds out he hates weddings (!!!!) naturally, they get into an argument about the sanctity of marriage (MG) and what a sham of an institution it is (WW)

MG leaves the room fuming after WW says "stop defending weddings dude this one wasn’t that fun anyway," because he worked hard for today ok!!! how dare this asshole tell him otherwise!!!!
but as fate would have it, they keep bumping into each other, one wedding after another...
MG tries to avoid WW at all costs, which the bassist takes as an invitation to bother him whenever he can.

eventually MG changes his strategy and makes it his mission to convince WW that weddings are, in fact, wonderful occasions!
(he fails, miserably. MG is half-convinced the man is Devil incarnate himself)

y'all he realises he needs more time than the duration of half-day ceremonies to convince WW so~ he asks for his number~ in the name of winning the argument, of course~
WW gives it to him (& it’s not at all because he likes the sound of MG’s voice when he’s being stubborn) :]

MG makes 0 progress until he gets hired for WW's younger brother's wedding & learns a lot about WW by proxy of a very chatty sibling ;;
the wedding goes flawlessly because MG is good at his job, but then he sees WW being swarmed by nosy relatives

they’re indirectly criticising him for having no one in his life while his brother's starting a family of his own ;_____;
MG goes to whisk WW away from the situation, under the pretense of asking for a dance.

at the end of the song, WW tentatively leans up to press his lips to MG’s and whispers, "you know... this one’s not so bad."
MG doesn't know if he's referring to the song/the wedding/MG. he just kisses him again.

ALL that lengthy plus arguably unnecessary foreplay and what I really want is:
a time-jump epilogue, 1.5-2 years into the future when they're lying in bed together and WW asks, "what's your dream wedding like?" out of the blue.
MG's heart leaps to his throat.

MG's heart leaps to his throat.
"uh.. uh? do you mean like—ours?” he’s stammering, duh. how can he not? “hypothetically, i mean. in the future."
"that depends."
"on what?"
"whether you're going to propose to me or not."
well. MG is curious. "why me?"

"do you want me to do it?" WW questions. "it'd be so unromantic you'd hate it and say no."
"i would never—" WW raises an eyebrow and MG pauses, realises he almost gave away his answer. "shut up."
"so? dream wedding."
"i... have a scrapbook. i can show it to you if you want."

"i... have a scrapbook. i can show it to you if you want."
"sure," WW says, light. “i’d like that.”
how suspicious.
"but you can't make fun of me, okay? because you'll be the first person to see it."
“awww, i'm honoured to be your first."
MG ignores his teasing lilt. "see? i knew i can convince you to love weddings."

MG ignores his teasing lilt. "see? i knew i can convince you to love weddings."
"oh, no. i still hate them."
MG's face falls. his heart might’ve cracked a little bit, too.
"i think they're unnecessarily long. plus they're super expensive for a mere social performance."
"okay, enough," he cuts curtly. "i get your point."
"but."

his hope sparks again at that. silly little him.
"but?" he prompts gently.
"our hypothetical one in the future...” WW lifts a hand to MG’s face, thumbing at the apple of his cheek. “i think that one won't be so bad."

“and why, pray tell, would that one be different?" MG asks, even though he already knows the answer.
(he wants to hear it anyway.)
"because, i don’t have to love weddings. i just have to love you.”
“and?”
“and,” WW punctuates with a kiss, smiling into the act. “i love you.”
