Your pup is mistaken for a famous wedding planner and receives a substantial advance in the currency of their world to lend their services, such as they are, to an upcoming ceremony. What do they do?

Tell Ehren to have someone deal with it.

Or make Fidelias do it as part of his prolonged sentence for treason.

This could go two ways depending on Tess' mood: 1) laugh in their faces or 2) plan and execute the best f-ing wedding anyone has ever seen.

This would be bad go several of my pups. Vala might just take off with the money. Daniel of course would be telling her to give it back, he would also laugh and try to explain that he isn't good at these kind of things.

The Count would do his best to weasel out, but if he had to plan a wedding he'd have Renfeild do it or his daughter. Either way it would be black and red and there would be bats involved.

Tegid would buy a few cows, some pigs, get lots of cool prizes, and we'll throw a great feast for the wedding.

Tass would probably forget about it and wonder where the money came from. He also wouldn't really know how to plan a wedding Kender don't usually have plans for such things, well they do arrange marriages for population problems but that is about all the prior planning they do.

Naruto would do his best, but would probably fail horribly.

Did I forget anyone?

Combeferre forwards the money and the responsibility for the wedding plans to Courfeyrac, and thinks no more of it.

Jehan Prouvaire does the job himself. It's a very capital-R Romantic wedding ceremony, complete with recitations of darkly passionate poetry and an apocalyptic theme for the decor.

Brienne of Tarth thinks the mistaken identity is a cruel joke being played on her. She's not sure of the punchline, but she knows it has something to do with mocking her for being unattractive or unfeminine or something. She sends the money back with a cold, terse note, and her feelings are hurt.

Courfeyrac is delighted, and does a fabulous job. \o/


But awww, Brienne. :(

"... this is a thing? This is something people actually do?"

I can't help thinking of the Luidaeg in this situation and I can't decide which would be better, a Baba Yaga style, horrific wedding wherein the bride and groom are put through such horrible things that they either bond even more securely or are torn apart, or Luidaeg is completely nice, absolutely nothing goes wrong with the wedding, there are clear skies, and flower petals rain softly from the sky, but everyone is just on edge cause she is being nice.

Dejah would be horrified at the gross expenditure of resources. Yes, festivals and feasts are necessary. (Let's ignore the reality that her own wedding was an excuse for a massive festival, but her position requires such things).

She'd figure out a way to do it respectfully, but at a tenth of the cost. And she'd suggest that the balance be donated to those in need.

Bizarre mistaken identities that demand on-the-fly problem solving? Viola is all over that. (Though presumably the actual wedding planner would show up halfway through and start trying to manage things, leading to a series of comic miscommunications before all was revealed.)

(If she could find no way out of it, Arabella would play along and try her best. Harry would be very, very confused and probably forget about it and accidentally spend the money paying his soldiers or something.)

AVIATION THEME WEDDING!!! FLIGHT SUITS FOR THE BRIDAL PARTY!!

[soldier_blade]

Sonya would call Johnny and ask if he knows anyone in his circle with a wedding planner.

[rudderless]

Pinkie: *THROWS HERSELF VIOLENTLY IN*

Clementine: Delegate authority until nobody notices she hasn't done poop for the bride and groom.

Dixie: Hire some lovely professionals behind their backs while contributing her own exquisite sense of taste.

Juliet: Get super overinvolved planning and drive everyone wild.

Eponine: Be steadfast without knowing exactly what she's doing to her plans.

[genarti]

Enjolras: looks briefly either utterly baffled or vaguely exasperated, depending on the context, and then passes the entire thing off to Courfeyrac. HAVE FUN, MAN. (I decided that before I looked at Bobbie's answer for Combeferre, for the record.) He could conceivably also pass it to Bahorel, but the happy couple would have to be very specific sorts of people for him to do that.

Cosette later in life would probably get a huge kick out of it, and do an excellent job. Right now, she'd be flattered and kind of tempted, but she also just finished her own wedding which she didn't do aaaaany of the organizing of because her husband's grandfather and Valjean took over the whole thing. So she would apologetically return the money with a very polite note about how there must have been some mistake, and she wishes them all the very best but doesn't feel herself up to performing the task in a way they deserve.

Kazul either does it and does a surprisingly good job, or punts it off to Willin (seneschal and general Organizer Of Etiquette And Things for the king of the Enchanted Forest), depending on how bored and indulgent she feels.

Thor has people for that. Whether he'd use them or just return everything depends on the context.

[never_forgets]

The most obvious answer from Simon's point of view is to hand it off to Lady Alys, who has a lot of experience with planning weddings.

The next step is probably to hide until the planning is done to avoid getting dragged in. If he's feeling generous, he may also warn Ivan about it.
