wedding night on mandalore
More of the gala au bc I'm a simp for love at first sight, lol
To set the scene, I figure this is a month or two after Din proposed because there's no way Leia is letting Luke get married to a guy he just met. She needs to run at least one background check, no matter what the Force says.
In the intervening time, Luke decided he wanted to keep up some of the Tatooine marriage traditions, which include hand carving and painting a water canteen from japor wood. (Anakin and Han have to go on a field trip to Tatooine to get this wood bc Luke is very busy with Jedi business. It is an absolute disaster.)
And now, Luke is waiting for Din to get back from putting Grogu to bed. He's unpacked the canteen and is nervously thinking over how to give it to his new husband. How does he explain what it means to share water on a desert planet where half the population is enslaved? How does he explain that he's spent the last month carefully carving and painting it so Din would have a piece of his love when they were apart? So, when Din comes back in to their bedroom, Luke just gives it to him, too anxious to do much more than that.
But Din has been to Tatooine. Several times. He knows the culture and knows what Luke just gave him. And he's absolutely floored, because as long as he's been Mand'alor, he's still a bounty hunter at heart. It never ceases to amaze him when someone tries to give him the soft and lovely things of the universe.

Dick's dress is a combo of these two gowns by Malyarova Olga:
And Kory's is this guy by Blini Fashion House:
Anyway I had a lot of fun! I've been doing this on sketchbook on my phone, so I've really had to be conservative with layers (at this size I only get like 25 layers) but it's a fun (nervewracking) challenge.
