So in honor of it being one week since the final episode, I figured I’d write up some hcs I had for Hiro and Zero Two’s wedding. I like to think that despite having quite literally the biggest wedding in the universe, the rest of Squad 13 would insist on Hiro and Zero Two having a wedding back on Earth. 

This, uh, this really got out of control, but I’m really pleased with it. Thanks again to @tachipaws for sharing ideas and letting me just spout nonsense to work some of these out.

• Mitsuru and Kokoro would be the biggest advocate of it considering it was Hiro and Zero Two’s idea for them to get married originally.
• Mitsuru makes their wedding rings for them, and it leads to him being the first jeweler in the new society
• They would cut off a piece of their horns and have it set in their wedding bands (which is later a tradition they pass down to their children)
• Ichigo settles into being the coordinator like it’s the most natural thing in the world
• She takes it very seriously because it’s for two of her best friends in the world, but also because it’s going to be the first wedding the rest of the Parasites are ever going to see, so she wants it to make an impact
• Ichigo has basically been planning since the moment they left, and the really amazing thing is that she managed to keep it a secret from the others…except for Goro because he knows her too well
• At some point, while digging through Dr Franxx’s files, Hachi and Nana discover more reference material about weddings, and they pass it on to Ichigo where she learns about the concept of the wedding party
• When Zero Two finds out about the wedding party, she immediately picks Ichigo to be her maid of honor. Meanwhile, Hiro has Goro be his best man.
• The ceremony itself was originally planned to be a relatively simple one, but once word gets about it to the rest of the Parasites, suddenly everyone wants to be involved in some way.
• In the end, the ceremony ends up being this incredibly grand affair because all of the Parasites end up being invited to the wedding
• There are just strelitzias everywhere. If there’s a flower placement, you can be assured that strelitzia’s are the centerpiece, and they’re all accompanied by flowers of green, purple, pink, and blue to represent the other Franxx.
• Zero Two’s dress is actually a recreation of Strelizia True Apus’ armor, which was put together as a collective effort of the girls of Squad 13. She ends up having a strelitzia pinned in her hair as well as having a bouquet of them.
• The entire ceremony is a remarkably quick experience, not that Hiro and Zero Two would’ve noticed otherwise since the moment they see each other, they become completely engrossed in each other
• Hachi officiates the whole thing, while Ai and the reborn Hitotsume are the flower girls
• By the end of it all, the two of them can barely keep themselves off of each other, so once Hachi gives them the go ahead, Zero Two practically jumps Hiro as she kisses him
• Another thing is that as soon as they see each other, their horns start faintly glowing, so much so that no one really notices it at first, but they start glowing more and more as time passes, so by the end, their horns are shining with brilliant red and blue light
• After they kiss, they touch their horns together and are able to feel the overflowing love and dedication they have for each other and start crying tears of joy. They also inadvertently start a new wedding tradition that all future couples follow; after the kiss, the couple always touch their foreheads together.
