Okay.

[She's decided that saying it to the village at large is a better idea than writing it. This way, she can't change her mind a hundred times then put it off and either not do it or totally rush it.]

I... don't know the customs around here, so I'm just going to announce it.

For anyone hearing this who doesn't know me-- my name's Clove.

Um. In a little while. On the twenty-third of October, actually. Cato and I are getting married.

I don't know how weddings work here or where you're all from. I know things can be pretty different. Where we're from -- District Two of Panem -- the wedding itself is a pretty quiet thing. Little ceremony, short vows. That being said, we do need someone to officiate. I don't know who that would be, here. If someone could help with that... I'd appreciate it. A lot. I know someone mentioned it a little while ago. So, yeah. That'd really help.

After the ceremony, we have a meal. Where I'm from, it's a big thing, but it's casual. We'll have lots of food and anyone who wants to come is invited. If you know us, if you don't, whatever. Everyone is welcome. Come, eat, mingle. Really, it's as simple as that.

So. Yeah. Thank you for your time.

[And for the opportunity to make this announcement.]

[Red is Bulla's favourite colour, but it's not for everyone, even without knowing Clove's reasoning behind not wanting the colour.]

Hmm... Well, we'll have to see what's available, but I think light blue would look nice.

[Something that will flatter Clove's petite frame, too, although they'll just have to see what is in stock.]

I don't wear blue a lot. That might be nice.

[She doesn't know much about fashion. Her Capitol stylist and their team didn't really bother explaining things to her. Just told her what to wear.]

Are you going to have your ceremony outside or inside?

[That will impact what style Bulla helps to pick out. After all, if it's an outdoor ceremony, it might be a bit chilly outside by October 23rd. Long sleeves will definitely be a good idea, or at least a shawl. It's not good if the bride catches a chill on her big day.]

Probably inside, but the food's probably going to be outside. It usually is where I'm from -- so you have enough room for anyone who comes.

Okay...so we'll definitely need to make sure the dress is either long-sleeved or that you have a shawl or a shrug to wear with it, in case it's a little cold out.

[And nothing with a very low back, because it's harder to find things to cover that area.]

That sounds nice. [Clove can't help but smile a little.]

I'm not used to buying nice clothes. I never really had much need to it before.
