Warren had also finished putting the gifts down when he heard his sister beside him. ''Hey sis'' He smiled back, he wondered where she got too.. She looked amazing though! ''Lucilles sorting herself out.. make up an all.. Damon.. not sure about him'' Lucille took awhile when it came to getting ready.. she was kinda worse than Warren but then again.. ''You look amazing'' He complimented looking down at her beautiful dress.. if only Mum could see them now.. she would be soo proud!

Uh.Late.
Yes, Annie sensed so, and she hoped she was right, so Em would go flailing around like she loved for him to do, and not always be correct. She hated that from him. "See, I told you, we are late..." Annie said, pointing towards the awaiting area, where all the rest of the invited people were standing.

Emiliano groaned at Annie, although they were both held to each other by the arm, because the young lady had decided to use her low, but still heels. Thanks to Lori, that miracle had been done, somehow. "We are not late," He told her, grinning victoriously and arriving to the guest area. "...and be careful, we don't want a kick around here..." He meant it, joking about Annie's heels.

Annie groaned back, glaring at Emiliano and letting go of her arm. She went to take a seat and wished to have her no-heeled shoes. Wait...she did have them, inside her purse. Perfect; she took them out and placed them on her feet instead of those killing heels. Who wondered, that even having strong legs as a professional soccer player she'd have those pains.

Alex smiled up at her brother, "Well, yes we girls do have to take awhile to get ready." She said with a grin as she looked around at the people there. She didn't know anyone yet who had arrived. "I don't know where Chris is either, I always seem to lose track, and then he shows up, and it is as if he hasn't been gone at all!" She smiled a bit. "Thank you, you look pretty handsome yourself little brother!" She said with a grin.

Ahh, a wedding. LouAnn Rico surely did love a good wedding, especially a wedding celebrating the reunion of two of her long lost friends. It had been quite a while since she'd seen her Hogwarts friends---the end of her fifth year, if she wasn't mistaken. Sigh That's been the summer she'd gotten off the Hogwarts Express to find that her parents were ready to dash out the door and make a quick move to Sydney, Australia. She'd been LouAnn McDonalds that school year, if she remembered correctly.

As the years had passed, the mystery that surrounded her life had been solved, and she and her family had gone back to their original surname, the one they were always meant to have. As she entered the area, she glanced around at all the people who'd assembled. Would they remember her? ...and what in Merlin's name had her last name been when she'd attended Hogwarts? Ugh, how annoying. Maybe someone would come forward and address her by the name she'd gone by.

Phoebe couldn't believe that that girl (Reese) had just walked out of the room, closed the door, and walked off. Did she not even NOTICE her? People these days. She clenched her purse and she only turned her attention back to the door when her son was standing there. About time.

"I don't loose papers," she pointed out. "I couldn't find one bloody parking place in that parking lot. That's why it took me a while to get up here." She wrapped her arms around her son and patted his back with the hand that wasn't holding her little purse.

She followed Torin into the room after the quick hug and she couldn't help but ask, "Who was that woman that walked out a little bit ago?" She sure did look familiar, but Phoebe couldn't put a name with the face.

Reese made sure the door was closed behind her before turning around to face...Tammy? Wooooah. She stood in front of the door as the child came hurtling towards it. Right, THIS was one of the reason she left in the first place. She had hated going after Tammy everytime the little girl made her way to the door. Do you know how bad it was having to get up and down off the bed while pregnant to stop the girl from getting the door? Her point exactly.

"No Tammy," she sternly said as she continued to stand in front of the door. "You're not going anywhere."

He raised his brow as he hugged his mother. She seemed well cranky today and he really wished she wouldn't. It was his wedding for crying out loud!

Oh, she was upset about a parking spot. "Mum, could you cheer up, please? I need you to help me feel less nervous." He took a deep breath , going back to looking for that other shoe.

Maybe it fell under the bed...

He went on his hands and knees, searching.

"You mean Reese? You know her, mum." He wasn't sure that she could hear him from under the bed.



Tammy squealed as suddenly Auntie Reese appeared at the door and blocked her way. She had been so close to seeing daddy. Mean Auntie Reese.

"You're keeping me from daddy!" The annoyed child hit Reese in the leg with her teddy bear. Because she couldn't reach any higher than her legs.

She whimpered and looked up at the older woman. "Why is Auntie Reese fat?" She stood on her tip toes, poked her belly and giggled.

But Auntie Reese was still mean.

Whitney, now 25 years old, walked out onto the beach in her dress and heels. She was starting to rethink the heels but luckily she brought along a pair of flip flops if she was having too much trouble. She still couldn't believe that on the day of Torin's wedding Keith had forgotten to get a babysitter for Torri. Then again, she couldn't really blame him because Whit had forgotten to remind him to get someone to watch Torri. As for now, all she could do is hope that Keith would find someone to babysit on such a short notice and not show up too late.

Whit placed the wedding gifts on the gift table and walked over to the crowd of people, hoping she could find someone she knew. She walked around a bit and then saw someone who looked a littlte familiar, though she wasn't positive if it was him. "Emiliano?!" she asked hopefully. This was one of her good friends that she never got tired of seeing, though she never really got tired of seeing any of her friends.

26 year old Raven Kaiser, finally decided to arrive; seeing as she wanted to be fashionably late, this was nothing unusual for her, it definitely felt weird in a way to be here for Torin's wedding seeing as she thought that he'd never get married well at least not to Brody but hopefully she'd get to see some of her friends that she hadn't seen since her own wedding several years ago.

Setting her present down on the table, she looked around until her hazel eyes stopped on someone she hadn't seen in at least 4-5 years; a smirk creeped onto her red lips and she walked over. "Well hello Whit." she said, with her thick Irish accent still present in her voice.

Cedric Leone, the 24 year old family man, was walking onto the beach with his vibrant white suit. He was with his wife, Vida Chadway-Leone, his right hand was putted over his wife's shoulder while his other hand was fumbling inside his pocket in search of their car's key and fortunately, he'd found the key in his pocket.

"Here we go, honey." Cedric said, kissing Vida at the forehead as they reached the place where people gathered. His old friends were there and he missed them. Torin and Brody's wedding was like a reunion. It was so great to see his friends again. It has been years, he changed a lot, he's still the sweet and nice Cedric though.

Right. For Annie wearing a pinkish dress was kind of weird, yes. But it was all for Torin, it was his wedding after all, with Brody. And she was happy for her best friend. Really excited to see both, somehow. But where was he anyways? Probably going insane and forgetting everything at the last minute, like always, when he was nervous.

Her eyesight peeked up, when someone called Emiliano, and the guy was making a call to home, where his lovely wife, Mrs. Karma Saenz, hehe...was having a hard time with their first baby, you know...fever, cold. Ugh. Annie pulled Emiliano's phone out of his hand and pointed it out to the girl calling him. She seemed sort of familiar, but...Annie had a terrible memory after leaving Hogwarts quite a long time ago.

Emiliano glared back at Annie. Ugh, women! "I was in a chat with Karma, the girl is still having fever, you know..." He took the phone out of his hand before realizing it was Whitney Ashford her cousin meant for him to look. "Whitney!" He said, gladly and with open arms. Long time no see this girl, eh. "How have you been? Didn't I last saw you at...?" Wait, was it his wedding or at the campout, he just didn't remember. Bad Emiliano.

Just then she heard a very familiar Irish accent coming from behind her. First Em and now Raven?!? Whit hadn't seen her since...well her wedding but it wasn't on purpose. One gets married and has a kid two years later and somehow that one person forgets to call her friends. *cough*Whit*cough* Well no more of that. "Raven!" Whit gave her a huge hug and then pulled back to look at her. "You look amazing! How have you been?"

Whit hadn't realized that Em had been on the phone. She saw the girl next to him take the phone from him and her eyes went wide. She hadn't meant to interrupt his phone call. "Oh no, it's okay!" Whit said but by then it was too late, she had the phone. Who was this person that she would just take the phone away anyways? She stared at her for a minute or two and then it hit her. "Annie!" True, the two girls had never been extremely close but Whit still knew who she was.

Giving Em a huge hug, Whit smiled and thought about the last time she'd seen him. "Um....I believe it was your wedding, that seems so long ago already!" Then again, the whole nine months that she'd been pregnant with Torri seemed like so long ago and it definitely wasn't the greatest time but at least she had lost all of that weight. "I had been pregnant with Torri at the time. Anyways! I've been good, great actually. Keith is supposed to be here but he has to find someone to watch Torri first." Honestly, she wasn't too positive why Torri couldn't have just come to the wedding, she was two but she wasn't necessarily a terrible two. "How have YOU been though?" Whit thought she had heard about him and Karma having a child but she wasn't too sure. She had heard it through the grape vine. haha

Vida Leone, beaming at her husband. He looked so good in his half white suit. Tempting as always. She nodded her head to him and walked towards the destination with her full half white, flowing dress robe. Her matching accessories were not glittering but elegant and goes very well with her simple hairstyle and her gorgeous smile.

"Ofcourse, love" she smiled and putting her arm around his waist as he kissed on her forehead sweetly. She was not familiar to most of them but only very few. "Stick with me love, I dont know most of them.." she said softly as putting her mouth closer to his ear.

Raven smiled and returned the hug, she was definitely happy to see her old friend; the last time she was around it was for different circumstances, it was just absolutely crazy to think that she had been married now for almost 5 years. "Well thank you, I've been good; being married to a Count is definitely interesting, at least I'm not a Princess like I would have been if I married Gabben..." she trailed off with a slight shudder before continuing. "Life in Romania, is quite different from what I'm used to but it's awesome. So tell me, how have you been lately? Merlin it's been a good few years since we last spoke."

She still found it odd that her friends were married or getting married and had kids and what not. Obviously, you would think that now that she had been married for four years and had a child for two she'd be used to it but she still wasn't. Now one of her best friends was going to gett married and she couldn't even believe it. "That's amazing! And I know." Whit added nodding gloomily. The whole Gabben experience was....something Whit didn't know full details about but she knew enough to know that Raven is definitely happier where she is now. "I can only imagine ha. I'll have to go visit you one of these days, and soon to, if I can get away." Or when Torri was old enough to watch herself so....in eighteen years? "I've been great! Keith and I have been doing really well aaand...well, I have a little girl now." Whit felt bad that Raven didn't know about Torri but she couldn't keep her face from lighting up at the thought of her. The girl was just a sweetheart. "I'm sorry you're finding out two years later." Two is less than five though, which is still pretty good.

Just mentioning Gabben's name sent Raven back into a flashback to when she was 15 and just starting her 5th year at Hogwarts; he was pretty cool to start with but ended up being a right jerk who tried to sabotage her wedding to Daniel which she still was not over by any means even though it had been 5 years. "Well that would definitely be nice, I'm sure Daniel would appreciate it as much as I would." she said then paused for a second after her friend's next comment, she was absolutely stunned, it seemed like only yesterday that her and Whit were just randomly laughing about something and now she had a child. "Wow, that's awesome; I would love to meet your daughter sometime. Children haven't exactly been discussed yet between me and Daniel however, I would love to be raising a son and daughter to take after their mother."

Whit smiled graciously at the thought of visiting one of her best friends and her husband in Romania. It was definitely tempting, that was for sure. Who wouldn't want to go on a vacation somewhere? "We'll just have to wait until we're free." Surely she'd be able to take off some time from work, after her maternity leave she hadn't missed that many days...unless Torri was sick or something. She saw Raven's expression and nodded happily. "I know, it sounds kind of crazy. I mean I was the girl who thought fifteen year olds were so mature ten years ago and now I'm married with a kid. Looks like we're all finally growing up." Surely by the time Whit was forty she would be used to all of this but at the moment it was just kind of weird. "Her name is Torri and she's incredible. I would love for her to meet you, that would be great. Sadly she won't be here today...and Keith...well I hope he shows up tonight." Whit then nodded understanding their situation. Whit had never thought of herself as having children at twenty three, though she had hardly ever thought about it, and well here she was. "I can't wait for you to have kids. I can only imagine how they'd turn out." As for Torri, Whit wasn't sure who she was more like, her or Keith.

Raven laughed at Whit's comment, well it was true; time had definitely gone by quickly and certainly made everyone change their minds about marriage and children. "I never thought that I'd be seeing you of all people mature, at 16 I didn't think that was possible and I still don't now to be honest; the main thing here is that you haven't changed even though the last time we saw each other was when you were my Maid of Honour at my wedding." she said with a smile, as she fiddled around with her wedding ring; even though it had been there now for 5 years, she still really wasn't used to the fact that she had gotten married to begin with. "There is plenty of time for me to meet Torri, it definitely would be good to have Keith show up, I have to say that you two are just a perfect match."

As she stepped out to head to the guest area, to wait for Torin's wedding to start, Adrienne sighed. It was really a weird feeling, being around all these married people, or soon-to-be married, but she couldn't do anything about her situation. Or, anything beyond what she'd already done. She just had to hope her latest owl to Phoebus would appease his latest bout of insecurity. It was really quite funny, that someone who could go into something as intense as being an auror would be, still, quite as spastic about personal relationships as her boyfriend was. And it also didn't help that half of the time he was about to spaz out again, she could sense it with her ability long before he actually said anything. Which she had a feeling he knew, but she still had to convince him she wasn't about to leave him. She hadn't at school, and there should have been no reason he thought she would now. Especially after the first spaz, just because she'd chosen to go live with her grandmother for a while after graduation, to figure out what she wanted to do with her life.

But back to where she was at now. She was on an awesome Caribbean island, waiting for her pretend brother to finally get married, and she wasn't going to let other things ruin that for him. She was just going to enjoy her surroundings and talk to people she hadn't seen for ages. Squaring her shoulders, inwardly applauding herself for choosing a pair of flat sandals to wear with her dress, she headed toward where all the guests were mingling. Some way more dressed up than others (including her, really), but it was a beach. And as a designer/stylist, she knew what she was doing. Of course. Even though she knew Torin had had instances of thinking her outfits were insane, she'd always known what she was doing. How could someone who could get into the minds of others not? And besides, the bright flowers helped her keep her mood up. Which she was determined to do, even if her mind was halfway across the world.

Warren chuckled he remembered the time him and Lucille got married, how nervous he was.. He felt for Torin, the dude must be feeling dead nervous now! ''Im sure both Lucille and Damon will turn up soon enough..'' he checked his watch.. they had a bit of time left. ''Well Well.. what can i say.. i do try'' He chuckled once more as his sister complimented him back.

Lucille, wearing a purple simple satin dress, found warren amung the throng of people, concious that she was a teeeeny bit late. But it wasn't her fault. Her Aunt Demelza had practically had to wrestle her out of her boots, and force some rather high diamante things on her.

Lucille felt too tall.

She waved at Alex as she approached and kissed her on the cheek. "Hi Alex. How are you? You look great!" She then stood next to Warren, kissed him, and said, "sorry im a bit late. Demelza made me..." she explained, pointing to her feet.

"So," she said brightly. "Where are the bride and groom?"

"I wouldn't have made you wear it if it didn't make you look beautiful Sylvie." Brody smiled truthfully at her friend. She had known Sylvia a very long time, and she wanted her to be happy. Brody giggled at what Sylvia said next. She knew she looked gorgeous but she didn't want to be vain toda. "I Dunno....I think Im worrying about Tor." Because she always did, she couldn't help it, it was like second nature to her.

Brody sighed as she heard Reese come in. Thank heavens. Now her parents just needed to be here. "I heard about that." Brody giggled, with a smile, as she messed with her hair a little. She really needed to stop doing that. "Is he okay?" It was taking a lot of will power to not go see him, there'd only been one night she hadn't ever been with Torin, and that was when Tammy had been born.

"Baby stop whimpering please." Brody sighed, as she watched her daughter. She felt really bad for not letting her go see Torin, but she needed to stay her. Tammy was the flower girl, she couldn't be with the groom.
But then as she was talking to Sylvie the little girl began making another run for it. "Tamzin Kane." Brody shook her head, smiling apologetically at Reese, as she picked the girl up, not caring about her dress anymore. "You are not leaving babygirl. You gotta carry the flowers like mummy told you? Remember?" She hoped the girl remembered because she wanted that memory to make the girl stay here. "No more running okay? You're making Auntie Reese tired."

Shana stood still, awkardly. Well atleast everyone was arriving now so things could only get better, right ? Right. She had to think positive or everything was bound to go wrong and like this was Torin&Brody's big day. It was going to be perfect, even if she had to make it perfect herself but they could do that because she had no idea how she'd make it perfect cause she was rubbish at making stuff good letalone perfect. She looked around before biting her lip. Everyone was arriving in all their pretty colourful dresses, colourful people. Clark wasn't coming was he ? Cause he knew Brody and Torin so there was a posibility. No, NO. Course he wasn't coming or hopefully not, He was like the last person on earth she wanted to see right now. Not today. Things had been way awkward since there break up although she didn't know why cause they'd broke up so many times before. She looked around checking he wasn't here before sighing, a sigh of relief she spotted Warren, Alex and Lucille and deicded to walk over. She dragged her feet along the sand, her shoes and the present in her hands. "Heyy guys." Was practically all she said.

"I know, I never said it didn't make me look beautiful." Sylvia giggled nervously. OMG?! WAS SHE ABLE TO READ MINDS?! Sigh. The cucumber looking Sylvia turned when the door opened to see a cucumber looking Reese. Well, atleast they both had to wear the same dress, and share the embarrassment. Haha.

"Lock all bathroom windows near Torin, Reese. That's what I had to do for Miles." Sylvia laughed and walked over to Brody once she had picked up Tammy.

"Don't worry, Torin's fine I'm sure ... maybe ... let's hope." Sylvia voice fell a little, but then she went positve again for Tammy. "Grace'll be soon." She smiled at the little girl. "I think she's like ... ten now." Sylvia tried to do mental maths.

Waz looked behind Alex to see Lucille coming along, she looked beautiful as ever! He couldn't help but smile. ''Hey Mrs Kensington'' He chuckled, it still felt a bit weird calling her that.. but it was right. ''May i say.. you look absolutley splended me dear'' Looking up and down at her amazing colourful dress.. She wasn't wearing her boots? this was a change! but it was good to see her in something other than. ''Oh Demelza.. she always wins!'' She would always win arguments.. no one really stood a chance with her around. ''Not sure where they are.. Mid-term nerves i suspect..'' He could picture his wedding..

After talking for a while with his sister and his wife, Warren also noticed his very good friend Shana coming down. It was good to see everyone, though he had kept in touch with most people. ''Hey Shana!'' He smiled, she was also looking very beautiful and colourful. ''How are you? No Clark?'' He remembered the lad.. he didn't quite know what to make of him.. it didn't seem he was here.. or coming for that matter.. As she got nearer Warren gave her two friendly kisses on the cheeks like you do.. He stood back next to Lucille putting his arm around his wife. ''I do love this beach..'' Looking out at the golden coloured view beside him.

Shana stopped as she approached Alex, Lucille and Warren. She smiled before looking around thebeach wearily. Phew, he wasn't here and he wasn't going to be here because well just because she was thinking positive. Usually if she wished for something to not happen, it didn't happen. And this certainly wasn't going to happen because she would liak umm...die? if it did. "Heey." she said again, just incase they didnt hear her the first time. "Im okay thanks and howre you ? and no. Uhh I havnt seen him in a ummm.....while." she bit her lip, cringing slightly. He had to ask, no doubt he'd ask why she hadnt seen him in a while next. She looked at the beach and slightly nodded her head.
