The Atlantis Georgias and Breckenridge Jazz Hands wedding was a wedding event between the two teams on the Official Blaseball Discord during the Season 21 midseason.

History

The idea for a wedding between the two teams originated with a proposed partnership between the teams in relation to the Gift Shop and guaranteeing each other Gifts. Due to the closeness of the two teams as a result of watching games together and experiencing weather events such as the first Polarity weather together, the idea of a Gift Shop partnership became a joke about the close teams being married. Committing to the bit, the Georgias and Jazz Hands began planning a wedding.

Planning took place primarily within an event channel for both teams on the Blaseball Discord. During this time, the Georgias and Jazz Hands assigned the other teams various roles in the wedding, sometimes intentionally going against the general theme of a team on purpose. For example, the Yellowstone Magic, generally associated with nature and the outdoors, were assigned The Plastic. The Plastic, being a vague role, ultimately grew into the joke phrase "We Will Not Explain The Plastic" as participants asked what The Plastic meant. This later developed into "We Will Not Explain The Legality Or The Plastic" when questions arose concerning whether or not two Blaseball teams could legally marry each other.

The wedding was originally scheduled for June 16th, 2021 during the Season 20 midseason, but was delayed until the following week due to the incineration of Georgias player Niq Nyong'o. The wedding would ultimately take place on June 23rd, 2021.

The Wedding

Pre-Ceremony

The wedding's event channels opened on June 23rd, 2021 on the official Blaseball Discord server. The wedding was introduced and presented by the Jazz Hands as a game of Blaseball under Marriage 2 weather, with the different teams acting as players as their roles were called. Simultaneously, teams were presented with gifts by the Georgias, with gifts generally consisting of a stock photo relating to that team's theme, but underwater.

As teams were called up during the wedding, a fan from that team presented something relating to their assigned role, if applicable. For example, when the Fridays were called as tailors, fans from that team presented images of dresses and hats chosen by the team at large. As not every team had a role that would produce an item, such as the Shoe Thieves running the coat check, many proceeded to play and score in the mock game of Blaseball rather quickly. The best teams of the Jazz Hands and Georgias and their speeches were one of the major features of the pre-ceremony phase of the game. The Firefighters, the Jazz Hands' best team, gave a speech reminiscing on the Season 5 finals, the trading of beloved original players Edric Tosser and Agan Harrison, and both teams' dedication to middlingness. The Flowers, the Georgias' best team, gave a sweet and simple speech, consisting of a single "wly."

After the best team speeches, the ceremony itself began. During the ceremony itself, fans from teams besides the Jazz Hands and Georgias were temporarily locked out of posting in the event channel, but could otherwise still view the wedding. The wedding itself was officiated by The Monitor, wearing a papal crown, who referred to the teams collectively as the "Brecklantis Georjazz".

Both teams exchanged vows, which consisted of fans from both teams posting one line each from pre-written vows. These pre-written vows consisted of stock wedding vow templates with their original wording removed and filled back in with terms more relevant to the Jazz Hands and Georgias and their fan cultures. After the vows, the Monitor pronounced the Jazz Hands and Georgias "team and other team", before asking if anyone had any eggs.

After the vows, fans from other teams were let back in to congratulate the newlyweds. The Marriage 2 game concluded with the "Georjazz" hitting a grand slam, causing Marriage 2 to bestow a Marriage unto the Georjazz. Afterwards, the Worms provided music, which consisted entirely of Dirt Blood. The bouquet, provided by the Mechanics, was tossed and caught by the Tigers. The Sunbeams then presented the cake, which was an art piece where every layer was a different drawing.
