Savannah chuckled, being pulled into the room by none other than the bride herself. Giving her a tight squeeze, Vannah stepped back and held her at arms length to get a good look at her. She had seen her recently, of course, but this was different! This was her wedding day. "You look simply goregous, Limmy." She beamed, ocean blue eyes sparkling with delight. Savannah was the one to pull her into a hug this time, asking "How are you feeling?" when she released her.

"Hello everyone," Vannah added, waving to the other girls in the room. Two were familiar, she knew one for sure was Vannie and the other, if she remembered correctly, was Reese. They hadn't talked before, but back in her fifth year she remembered breaking up a fight that involved the former Slytherin's friend. Savannah smiled to them, her attention shifting onto Lima as the bride-to-be spoke. "We're wonderful. Hayley is in perfect health, happy as ever and hopefully not giving Alexis a hard time at home as we speak." She informed her dear cousin, putting her hands on her shoulders to gently steer her over to the vanity (OOC: Okay, totally guessing here! xD ignore/switch it if I'm wrong.) to sit. "Conner sends his love, and says he will make it up to you for missing the wedding." Savannah told her, knowing Lima would understand since Con had sent her a letter earlier this week. Her older brother would have been here, if at all possible. But his wife was due anytime now with their second child and he couldn't leave her side, although they considered it Courtney wouldn't be able to handle the traveling it took to come either. Oh! There was more than just girls in the room. Savannah knew immediately who it was, despite not having seen him in person since.. well, the last time she had seen Whigalima's brother was probably when they were all kids. At Grandma Angelina's house, certainly. Though she could easily recall the times she and Sammy were playing over at Lima's house too, it was more often that all of the kids would gather at their grandparents house. "Nice to see you're here, Tristian." Vannah smiled softly, her gaze turning back onto Lima.

She smiled when she was pulled into another hug. "Everyone keeps telling me that. That I look gorgeous. And I'm starting to believe them." She snorted as she was let go of. "I'm nervous beyond belief. But I am ready. Except for the chocolates that Penny was supposed to tell Mads I want before the ceremony. She should be here with them by now." She rolled her eyes as she imagined Penny chatting away down there, forgetting all about the food.

She let Vannah steer her over to the vanity (OOC: Yes, you were right xD) and smiled. "Glad that the baby is doing well. I just hope that Lexi doesn't give her a bit of a sweet tooth." She winked. Lexi's love of candy was legendary. "And tell Conner that I wish him and Courtney all the best with their new baby." It was so exciting how everyone was having a baby these days. She sorta wanted one but then she wasn't ready yet. No children for a while though. That was for sure.

When she noticed that Vannah was a little surprised to see Tristian, she said, "he's giving me away. And he likes the Groom too!" Now that was a great success right there.

She continued on through the tent. She noticed how it was filling up real quick like. She walked on around to the back to where Mads was. She notice there were a few more people the before. "Oh Maddox," Penny said then she stopped when she saw Nico. "Hey Nico." she said.

"Oh, hey Penny!" Punz muttered slowly. Total delayed reaction there, dur, she'd been too excited over seeing Vannah/Curt/Miles/all the other people she kinda knew.

So now she had to go back to the bridal zone. "Excuse me, Mr. Blood, Ms. Andrews, ya'll..." Rapunzel politely nodded to the other guests and slipped by. "I'm required in the bride's presence, so the ceremony should be starting shortly." Wow she sounded professional when she said that. HA. What a laugh.

Her fancy shoes click-clacking back to Lima's dressing area, Punz poked her head inside and then saw the bride AND Vannah. "HI guys! I made it back. All the guests are seated and happy. Or they should be." She grinned reassuringly at Lima and her eyes shifted toward the bride's brother before settling on Vannah.

"And Savannah Diggory, you ole badger. Gimme a hug." The blonde rushed forward to squeezattackle her friend without any further warning.

And her Maid of Honor was back! At least Penny managed to bring her something. "Excellent, Pretzel. I knew that you would be the best for that job. You are so good with people. Thank you." She smiled and then watched as Vannah got attacked. She chuckled.

Savannah laughed lightly, reassuring her "You should believe it, we wouldn't lie to you!" She nodded slightly, waiting for Lima to seat herself. Of course she was nervous, it would be amazing if she weren't. A good nine out of ten people about to marry would be panicking at the last minute, it was a natural reaction. "I'm glad you know you are ready. Chocolate?" Vannah eyed her gently, what could be mistaken as a motherly look crossing her facial expression momentarily. "We better put something over you before you so much as touch chocolates. Can't have any accidents so late in the game," Especially when that accident could be getting something dark on the pure white fabric. There was several spells she could think of off the top of her head to fix it, but really it was better to prevent the entire incident from happening in the first place.

"Oh, no. We are expecting that, this is Lexi we're talking about! But we have quite a few months to worry about that, Hayley's only two months old." Savannah knew as soon as Lexi possibly could, she would be the one to give her daughter her first piece of candy. The wrapper would go into her baby book, along with an entry that she would get Lexi to write. "I will. I'm sure he'll be in touch once you get back from your honeymoon," Vannah predicted knowingly. Their family was very, very close. And Conner felt bad about missing Lima's wedding, it was quite a predicament for him.

Tristian was giving Lima away? My, if someone had told five years ago that in the future Tristian Whiggmeister would change his ways of thinking (enough so to be around their family, atleast) she would have laughed. And almost did, out of surprise. "I'm glad, and surprised. But glad, really. Happy for you,"
Turning swiftly at the sound of the door opening, followed by an all too familiar voice, Savannah placed a hand on the edge of the vanity to steady herself. Hopefully it wasn't noticeable she came close to losing her balance in her haste, but it wasn't as if it would come as a surprise to anyone. Smiling brightly as her dear old friend entered the room, the young woman brushed one of the dark locks from her face and moved it back with the other curls, part of which was being held back by a clip, in a half-ponytail sort of style.

Seeing the green eyes of Rapunzel come to rest on her, Savannah couldn't help from laugh at what came next. "Punzie Pretzel!" She greeted, excitement ringing in her fairly quiet voice. Needing no further instructions, Vannah hugged the girl back tightly. Ohh, it was SO nice to see her. Just now realizing what was said she laughed again, adding "Old? I'm not old! How are you?!"

"Why thank you, McShifty. Anything for you." Pretzel beamed at the bride. She wasn't always the best with people and she hadn't like the task originally, but Lima had a point. Punz could probably could talk to anyone and anything, even if they were evil and smelly and had one eye and ten thousand warts and were carrying around a stuffed dog, she could and probably would still talk the ear off of 'em.

Pretzel pulled back from her friend, not wanting to squeeze her so hard she wouldn't be able to participate in the wedding or something, and got a good look at her. "Welllll well I guess I don't see any wrinkles...yet," she teased, winking for good measure. "I'm just grand, yep yep! Excited for Lima of course, and Maddox."

Right, Maddox. She hadn't seen him yet but she guessed he would be okay. No one was good enough for her best friend but if anyone had to do, it would be Mads. At least he was a good quidditch player. "How's the family?" Punz added to Vannah. "I saw Curt coming in earlier! I was greeting everyone, ya know." Durrr how could she not know? Rapunzel had the lungs of an opera singer when she got excited and greeted someone.

Tobi grinned his trademark crooked grin, looking down at Cela. "Happy to see me little one?" He'd certainly missed her, over the last... 4 years was it? Not that he hadn't been busy, nor that he hadn't done his level best to send her a boatload of letters, but it wasn't the same as being in her hyperactive company.

Taking the hand that had tugged his hair, he held it above her head and gave her a little twirl. "Thanks Cel, you look pretty spiffy yourself."

"Teehe...then we can partty," Vanessa giggled, smiling at Lima. She was excited about that, as long as she didn't fall over, because Miles would be sat away from her and not able to catch her. That would not be good.
"You lucky girl." Vannie giggled, Lima was vry lucky indeed. At least they could come over a lot, and reep the benefits of Lima having a nice rich husband. "Me and Miles are probably gonna have an appartment." She nodded, that was all they needed, for now really.

"Teehe...He has to dance with the bride." She giggled, and Miles would so love that.
"Hey Vannah." Vanessa smiled as she older girl came in, and started talking to talk to Lima. She hadn't seen Vannah for aagges.

Tristian looked up when he heard someone saying his name. Then, he noticed Vannah. It's been a while since he has seen her or Sam. Siiiiigh. He would really like to talk to Sam at this moment. For some partical reason, he hasn't been in touch with his favorite cousin since he moved out of the house after he graduated.

"It's a pleasure to see you,Van," Tristian said back. He ruffled his hair a little bit, but still making sure that none of his hair stuck up. He looked at Lima when she mentioned him giving her away. Soon, Lima was going to be a Darcy and he would be the only Whiggmeister left. How exciting. There might not EVER be a another Whiggmeister. Since, he wasn't planning on having kids anytime soon. Gaaaaaah. Kids. He hated them. Some kids were just way too annoying.

She didn't really say anything as she took her seat. She knew that Vannah was right. Instead, she just held up the necklace that Nico gave her and looked at it in the mirror. "What do you think of the gift the Best Man gave me?" she asked, smiling. Then she caught that motherly look in the reflection. Sighing, she said, "yes, chocolate. I'm hungry and I want something sweet. And there are tons of German chocolates left from all the extra wedding favors." She smiled and imagines Vannah forcing her into something so that no chocolate would get on her wedding dress. She snorted.

She then chuckled. "If I have any kids, I'm keeping them away from Lexi. I mean, I don't want a little hellian like Mikey." She shook her head as she imagined a kid like that. She loved Mikey dearly, but it would drive her nuts to have such a hyper child. "And that would be nice. Me and Mads will visit them for sure. I'm so excited! 3 weeks in the Tropics!" She squealed.

Figuring that Vannah was still at a loss, she added, "It's Mads' doing. He got Tristian to try having a better relationship with me. I dunno how he did it, but.. Tristian likes him now." It still boggled her mind how that was accomplished. But of course Mads wouldn't tell her how he did it.

She gave her Maid of Honor a squishy hug. Letting her go, she said, "imagine how things will be at your own wedding! We can have a Quidditch theme and it will be so wonderful." She was getting misty eyes as she imagined being the Maid of Honor for her best friend. Even though Pretzel and Ryan might never think of tying the knot, it was fun to dream.

She laughed. "Yes, it will all be a big party. We're not having a traditional reception." That was all she was going to say. Her and Mads had decided ages ago that the ceremony would be traditional, but the reception would be a fun celebration, not a boring dinner with a few toasts. "Yes, I am very lucky. I bet loads of girls are jealous of me." She smiled. Nah, she knew that there were. The ladies at both of his jobs wanted him and stared daggers at her whenever she came around to see him. And she loved it. hehe. "Make sure you and Miles live near me. 'cause I will be visiting a lot." She gave a wink. Not like she wasn't visiting them all the time as is. haha.

Gaaaaaah. Kids. He hated them. Some kids were just way too annoying.

She smiled at him for being so nice to Vannah. She knew that he wasn't really all that fond of the woman. She didn't know why, but Sam was the only one of the cousins that he seemed rather fond of. "So how do you feel to be the only Whiggmeister left after today?" she asked curiously. In less than an hour, she would be a Darcy.

"Oh of COURSE!" Celandine told him, cocking her head slightly and reaching up her free hand to pat him on the cheek. "Letters just aren't quite the same."

She happily let him twirl her. "Spiffy? That's hardly sweet enough for a sugar fix, Tobi." She poked her tongue out at him. "You can do better than that." Still clinging to his hand she turned around again slowly, peeking at him from under her lashes as she did and finally letting go of his hand and striking a pose.

Tia smiled at Rapunzel and said "Hey thanks for the welcome, it's been a long time Rapunzel what have you been doing with yourself"

"Much better now, thank you." Astrid replied, as he released his hold on her. "Though I fear I'll miss these hugs most of all." She said with a sigh.

I will not cry today. These five words had become her mantra in the last few weeks leading up to the wedding. Though now that the big day was finally here, she didn't know if she be able to hold true to her word.

Hearing Maddox's compliment, Astrid struck a flirty pose. "I do, don't I?" She teased with a wink. "And speaking of gorgeous..." She said, finally noticing the others in the room. "Nico Toussaint. Where is that son of yours?"

"Ooh...I like big parties," Vannie giggled, smiling at Lima. She liked big parties a lot, and Miles would have to dance because it was a wedding. Although dancing in this dress might not be too successful, Miles would have to catch her.
"I'm not...I have the man of my dreams." She smiled thinking of Miles. She'd had the man of her dreams for quite a while. And she'd be able to see him soon. Yeey. Then she'd probably relax more, she hated being away from him. "How can we live near you? We ain't got that much money." She giggled, she knew though that realistically they could never afford such a big house, and she was quite glad, she was happy where they were. "You can apparate anyway...so visiting wouldn't be a problem."

Mari could sense the awkwardness in Elizabeth from the beginning of the conversation, and she was quite sure she knew where it was derived from. There were times that Mari wished she hadn't burdened Elizabeth with some things, but it was how it had to be. " I know, I'm fairly sure most people here wouldn't have expected to see me, but I am pleased that you're at least happy to see me." She said with a faint smile. " Keeping busy? How so?" She asked, wishing the strange awkwardness would just fade away already.

"I be guuurd. Jus' .. moving out and stuff, quite stressful. And I'm sure Vannie knows it too." Miles was quite suprised Vannie could juggle being the bridesmaid of a wedding AND moving somewhere new. He still wasn't used to it, but it's not like he felt emotionally attatched to his father anyway, except he wasn't looking after a litle girl anymore. Yet she was still sulking behind him sat in her chair.

"This is Sylvia, by the way. My sister." Miles smiled, and moved out of the way so Sylvia could stand up and hopefully greet one of Miles' friends. "And what about you? How's life goin' for you?"

Oh no. Now she had to mingle. Lovely. All Sylvia really wanted to do was watch the ceremony, maybe grab some food at the reception and then leave with a balloon. She didn't want to meet new people. Although, this woman had lovely long blonde hair, and Sylvia liked to trust blondes, as she was one also.

She stood up and brushed the creases from the bottom of her dress. "Hi." Sylvia smiled slightly at the woman and stood next to Miles and folded her arm. Sylvia really lacked social skills.

She loved seeing Lima so happy..and excited.That was when she realized that they were still in the dressing room even though everyone,including the bride,seemed to be ready. "Wait....so...why are we still here? You should be walking down that aisle already!" she said laughing. Technically they'd all be walking down that white carpet but it was all for Lima.

She looked around the room one more time to make sure everyone was ready,then looked into the mirror to check herself. Everyone was good. "Okay....can we go nooooow???" She must have been just as excited as Lima was.

Then she heard her name coming from a very familiar voice. Whipping her head around she saw Reese running towards her. 'Oh my gosh!' "REEEEEESEEEEE!" she yelled and gave her a huge squishy hug. When was the last time she saw her Slytherin Gangsta? Who knew. She listened to her other comment and laughed. "It's not my fault,I swear. Lima knows I'd never purposefully show up late. And it doesn't look like we're starting any time soon,unless we are...." she said looking towards Lima hopefully. "I guess I took longer to get ready than I'd expected" she added looking down at her hands.

Kayla finally managed to make it into the tent where the rest of the guests were already gathered. Michael was resting on her hip, dressed back in his jacket and tie after a twenty minute search of the gardens and finding the garments resting nicely in a rose bush. She walked up the white carpet looking for Mrs Darcy and trying her hardest to avoid having a toy car shoved up her nose.

She was halfway to the front when she spotted Cayden, Mari and Elizabeth and she hesitated for the merest second before deciding to stop and say hello. Adjusting her son into a more comfortable position, she walked up to the group with a smile on her face. "Hello" she said brightly, her eyes flicking over the three people standing there. "It's nice to see you all again." And yes she was being totally honest, her feud with Mari long forgotten, now that a few years had passed and she had grown up...finally.

"Thank you," Anna politely replied, glancing away for a brief moment. Wait---wasn't that? "Rapunzel? Hufflepuff Quidditch captain?" Anna's face brightened into a warm smile. She and Rapunzel---Punz as she'd heard the girl called---didn't know one another well, but they'd both played Quidditch and attended classes together, so Anna definitely remembered her. "I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Anna Newell...or, well, Anna Greingoth as you would remember me. How've you been?" Anna remembered way back to the end of her fifth year when Rapunzel, as well as her boyfriend Ryan, had ended their Hogwarts career quite early. Quidditch opportunity, she'd heard. Anna didn't follow professional Quidditch too much, though, so she was actually out of the loop as far as that was concerned.

Mari's attentions were diverted when she saw someone approaching them, someone she hadn't expected to even talk to at all....and she had a little boy with her. From the way Kayla held him, and from the resemblance of both Kayla and Nico, Mari deduced that this was their son. " Kayla, it's...nice to see you too," She said finally after she saw that this was a genuine greeting. She smiled and then laughed a little. " How have you been? It's been...a while, to say the least," She said, knowing that Cayden would be very happy to see her again. And oddly enough, it didn't bother her anymore either. .

"Pleasure to meet you Rapunzel." he smiled at her as he was sure he had heard the name before in some sort of fashion. he looked down at her hand as he shook it. she seemed nice enough.she smelled rather nice as well. he focused back on her words as she started to talk to him again, taking him up on his offer possibly."What part of the wedding are you going to be in?" he asked her curiously as he stood next to her. He was wondering if she was going to make him do it himself. He was more thinking of helping, not being the main person doing it. What did he know of wedding greetings?

Hallelujah for a subject change. He grinned at her as he nodded," A little. Not professional of any means, but i like to play when i can. I watch it when it comes on. I go to all the games in France when they play. Do you play?" he asked as he hadnt payed much more attention to the conversation earlier about it. He couldnt remember if she had played or if it was just something she liked. He knew elizabeth liked it a lot.

He had heard a familiar voice not to far from him as he could of recognized it form anywhere. Kayla winters. he turned his head with a small smile as he chuckled a little. A kid of some sort in her arms. He shouldnt of interrupted, but it was hard not too." Who's the little guy Miss Winters?" He knew she had lost the name, but it wouldnt stop for him. He had always called her and he would remain doing so."How have you been?" he asked her as he smiled." Its good to see you." he had rather missed her company. He moved his hands into his pockets as he waited.

"I have been really good Mari. How about yourself? You're looking really good." Kayla allowed herself a small knowing smile. Of course the woman looked good, she was going to look good for all eternity.

Michael started to squirm in her arms and Kayla looked down at him and then back to Mari. "And this my son Michael." She readjusted to trying to keep a firm hold on her son and finding it rather difficult.


"Mummmmmy" he squealed loudly. "I want to get down." Michael wriggled around in an attempt to gain freedom.

Kayla looked down at her son and smiled and squished him tighter to her. "Soon, when you can show me that you can behave yourself." She turned back to Mari, "Sorry about that. So what have you been up to?"

She turned to Cayden when he spoke and she gave him a huge smile and a one armed hug seeing how her other arm was occupied. "This is my son Michael" she said glowing with pride. "I'm doing good Cayden. What about you, how have you been?" Kayla gave him a slight once over and grinned. "Looking as gorgeous as ever."

"Who doesn't?" she said winking at the first comment. She was going to dance so much tonight, that her feet would kill her afterward. "I'm going to have to be careful, or I'm going to need a foot massage later." She looked down at her feet and thought of dancing in those heels. UGH. "Oh, I know you aren't. But all the ladies at his work want him." She laughed. Then she became serious. "Vannie, you guys will manage fine. And I'm sure Mads would love to donate the the Miles and Vannie Foundation."

"I guess I took longer to get ready than I'd expected" she added looking down at her hands.

"I'm here still 'cause Penny isn't back with my chocolates yet!" She was starting to get annoyed now. She began pacing again. "I'm hungry. I need my chocolate! And Mads wouldn't keep me waiting like this!" Mads always gave her chocolates if she wanted them; he was that kind of guy to her. Penny must not have told him about it. "THAT'S IT! I'M GOING DOWN TO THE TENT TO GET THEM MYSELF!" She turned around and started marching towards the door.

Before she could say anything she saw Lima heading towards the door. Was this woman serious? "Lima you can't! It's bad luuuuck!!!" Whit couldn't believe what she was seeing. All over some chocolate. What else was new. "Lima Whiggmeister come back here!" she yelled running towards her and grabbing her arm. "You can't go out there." she said moving her over to a chair so she could sit down. "Just sit and...relax. If Penny isn't back in two minutes I'll go get your chocolates myself." There was no way she'd get distracted,she probably didn't know half the people out there.

"Let go of me!" she huffed as she was dragged back into the room and set down in a chair. "I want my chocolates! And I want Mads! I don't want to be in here any longer!!" Something that should have taken like 5 minutes was taking a lot longer. "I need chocolate, Whit. It calms me down. And Mads knows that."
