Lestappen and the Grid

📝 The Verstappen-Verstappen Wedding Planning Saga

The Grid Wedding Groupchat Title: "Operation Verstappen² 💍"

Created approximately 5 minutes after the proposal, it includes:

Charles

Max

Pierre

Lando

Oscar

Carlos

George

Alex

Esteban

Yuki

And reluctantly, Christian Horner somehow got added by Lando. Twice.

The First Wedding Planning Call

Max and Charles tried to set up a private, sensible call between themselves to talk venues. Five minutes in...

Pierre:
"So which of us is best man? Because if it's not me, I'm not coming."

Yuki:
"I'm officiating. Already booked an online course."

Carlos:
"Destination wedding or fight me."

Lando:
"Please, for the love of chaos, let me plan the bachelor party. Charles, don't look at me like that — it'll be classy. Ish."

George:
"I'd like to discuss floral arrangements. I have a mood board."

Oscar (muted in the background, crying-laughing):
"I'm here for the vibes."

Max facepalms. Charles is stress-sipping a glass of wine at 4pm.

Venue Debate: Absolute Mayhem

Max's Suggestion: A private chateau in the south of France.
Charles' Suggestion: Monaco, overlooking the harbor.
Lando's Suggestion: Las Vegas.

Lando:
"Tell me you wouldn't want to get married by an Elvis impersonator. You cowards."

Pierre:
"Bro, we're not letting Verstappen propose in Monaco and marry him in Vegas like it's the Hangover franchise."

Max glares. Charles groans.

Final decision?
A lakeside villa in Italy.
Why? Because Carlos threatened to boycott the wedding otherwise.

Bachelor Parties (Yes, Plural)

Because naturally, there's no way one bachelor party would cover this.

Pierre:
"We need one in Ibiza, one in Tokyo, one in Amsterdam."

Yuki:
"Don't involve me in your nonsense. Wait... actually, Tokyo sounds fun."

George:
"Should I book a tea ceremony in Kyoto for the vibes?"

Lando:
"I'm already designing custom matching shirts for us."

Oscar:
"I'm just praying no one ends up arrested."

Max and Charles are now frantically googling 'can you skip your own bachelor party'.

Wedding Theme

Charles:
"Something elegant. Clean, white, maybe soft pastels."

Max:
"Yeah. Classic. Simple."

Pierre:
"Gothic castle or nothing."

Lando:
"Formula 1 chic."

Carlos:
"Matador-inspired, red and gold everywhere."

George (sending a 90-slide PowerPoint):
"Allow me to present: 'A Royal Romance: The Verstappen-Verstappen Wedding'."

Max (deadpan):
"I hate all of you."

The Cake Tasting Incident

They flew in a world-renowned pastry chef. It was meant to be dignified.

Lando ended up with frosting in his hair.
Yuki and Pierre got into a literal cake fight.
Max nearly tackled Oscar when he joked about making it orange flavored.

Charles, hands on hips, watching his life implode:
"I can't take you people anywhere."

Outfit Drama

Charles:
"I just want a classic tux."

Max:
"Same."

Pierre:
"So I got us all matching velvet suits in midnight blue. You're welcome."

George:
"What about capes?"

Carlos:
"You can pry my white suit from my cold, dead hands."

Lando:
"I swear to god if you don't let me wear sunglasses during the ceremony—"

Max and Charles eventually make a silent pact:
They will elope if this continues.
