Millie walked in with her husband Rowan (her Plus One) and took a seat in the back, She didnt even know her new head was Engaged but was excited when sh was invited seeing as the only wedding she's ever attended was her own and well, that was intresting, she looked up in time to see Van and Wes exchange a flask of something and she chuckled it off. She was sure Ro was the same way before she walked down the isle she looked over at him and grabbed his hand. It was weird thinking that a little over a month ago this is what they were doing.

Rowan looked at his wife and let her take his hand, "And it seems like just yesterday we were doing the same thing." He chuckled looking down at her.

Before Demetrius could respond anything back, Lex caught sight of someone in her periphery vision rolling up near her and Demetrius. Sherman - the seemingly decent elderly gentlemen was there too?! And he cleaned up quite nice even for the occasion. But seriously, was like ALL of the Department of Mysteries there?!

"Sherman," Alex greeted plainly, giving him a polite smile. "Looking good there." Yes, including the shiny, polished up chair.

And another Mysteries employee. Jade, yes. Familiar though? It'd barely been a month. But it was more familiar than most of the Law Enforcement people, so she simply nodded politely at her. "Likewise, Jade. I thought I'd not know any of the other guests." Considering she'd been in London only for about two months.

"The place is ... breathtaking, yes." Not as much so as maybe sunrise on the beach in Australia, but for a wedding, the Dorchester Hotel was beyond words, amazing.

Her brown eyes then drifted curiously toward a gentlemen who seemed .... anxious? Uncomfortable? Whatever it was, it caught her eye and interest. He seemed both solemn and happy, and Lex made a mental note to find out more about him at the reception.

"Yes, Yes, I agree. It is weird being here" Demetrius agreed with her. They both were really new to the Ministry and were surprisingly invited to their bosses wedding. He did wonder since he and Alexandria were here. Did Isobel invite the whole department. But right after he thought that two more people for the department appeared at their table.



Demetrius was surpsied the Sherman would be here. He thought Sherman would be home sleeping or something. Demetrius did not know Sherman that well since Demetrius did not really like old people. He liked them better dead. But whatever, Sherman was OK. "How have you been Sherman?" It would not hurt to be polite.



Demetrius was happy he now actually knew people here. Sherman and Alexandria were here and now Jade was sitting close to their table. He had not really had a chance to get to know Jade yet. But he just started and had time."Hello, Jade, how are you? Now it looks like we have a mysteries table going on here. All we need is Evelyn and Nero now." Demetrius took a good look around after she said this place was beautiful. He did not earlier. He was to busy fixing his black and purple suit and seeing if he knew anybody here. But he had to admit this place looks fantastic."I would have to agree with you there Jade this place looks fantastic."

As they were finally seated, Konrad shifted uncomfortably a bit. He had no problems wearing a suit, but ties... he hated them, but he was wearing one, anyway. Also looking around, he was, of course, impressed by everything he saw, but felt slightly awkward, since Roxanne might be the only one he knew there. Oh, and she was teasing him as well.

He leaned a bit closer to lower his voice as he spoke. "As long as you are here, I guess I have no reason, hmm?" Yes, he would have been freaking out to be in a room full of unknown people, but then again, he probably wouldn't have been there at all if Roxanne hadn't asked him to come with her. "You'll probably have to introduce me to someone, though." It would be nice to at least meet the groom or the bride, or whoever invited her.

Erm. Sherman may have been all schmancied up for Izzy's special day, but that did not mean he could go so far as to talk to women. He could talk to one's he'd gotten used to, but he barely knew Alexandria. And she had addressed him. Hmph. But the old man felt it would be rude to ignore her altogether, so he said 'Thank You' in sign language by touching his fingers to his chin and extending them towards her. And then saluting her. Yepp. That was pretty much understandable, right?

Well. Now, Demetrius he could speak to. The boy kind of scared him a little bit, since he worked in the Death Chamber and all. He reminded Sherman slightly of Dr. Nero Nykto. He chuckled at the thought. He wondered if Nero would show up to the wedding, after his argument with Izzy and all. "I'm fine Demetrius. But I don't like big crowds, and there are quite a few people here." Few. Ha. But, then again, who would have expected Ms. New Head to be unpopular? She seemed quite outgoing at work. "How have you been?"

Roxanne raised an eyebrow at that and smiled. Of course her presence made him less nervous, she did tend to have that effect sometimes, but it was still nice to check. Also, it was always nice to hear.

"You're right! Sorry..." she replied, sheepishly. Well, she wasn't introducing him to the bride and groom right now, of course. That could wait until after the ceremony. She was not going to steal someone else's thunder. That would be horrible! She did begin looking around for someone she knew, though. Someone who wasn't already wrapped in their own conversation and that she knew moderately well. Because, otherwise it would just be awkward. And she hated awkward situations.

Blaaah why was she heeereeee? She hadn't been in England for even a year yet, not even worked for Bossman for a month yet, but she was at a random wedding where she knew NOT A SOUL. Why? she still didn't know...

Kensi fixed her beret, hoping that her curled hair wouldn't get all frizzy. She definitely saw some people from her department...but, seeing as she was so new, she didn't know ANY of them. Dumb Bossman's wedding. Why did I decide this was a good idea? She had even bought a whole new outfit for the occasion, except the jacket. It was her trusty leather jacket she wore with practically everything. It could go super casual, or dressy, like today. And it was comfy. She jangled the bangles on her wrist awkwardly, and she wished she had worn a watch...how long til this was over?

Legend felt sort of sick, as if he had forgotten something. Or was missing something up, and he wasn't even the one getting married. No, he was just the one that was trusted with the most expensive part of the wedding. Shouldn't that be an issue for Van, you know something that the best manhad to deal with? Merlin only knew what the senior Aurors and Ex-Aurors would do to him if he lots the rings. Man, there were a lot of them here. His hands instantly dug into his pocket, his breath getting caught up in his throat for a moment, until he felt the smooth box in his pocket.

Rings, that he had gotten from Wes hours ago? Check. Clothes, that he had actually made sure were ironed? Check. Sunglasses, that really weren't needed? Check.

Date-er-plus one? Legend reached out and gave Neptune's hand a small squeeze, as he lead her to the the front of the room. "You can sit here-" He said gesturing to a empty seat. She was his date so she could sit there right? "-Did I already tell you that you look like Christmas." He grinned, it was his way of saying she looked good. His face suddenly went blank. Now he knew what he had forgotten! The pillow! It was up...with the bride!"I'll be back! I have to do my duties." Important ring bearer stuff you know. He turned, and was off, running toward the direction of the brides room, his suspenders flopping as he did so.

It didn't take long before he was at the door giving it a small knock, just for warning. Legend waited for three more seconds but when he heard nothing he opened the door and slipped inside.

"Oh." He grinned. "Don't you ladies look lovely?" All four of them really. Um-Heh.


Well, the place looked all decorated and whatnot. Really, what more could he say? It was a wedding setup, the place looked like a wedding, After one or two they all started to look the same. Dasb eyes filtered upward toward Wes, and his groomsmen. Only the men, but It was like some big official MLE wedding. Cute.

"I'm sort of worried that if they stand up there too long, people will actually get a look at them and start to clear out." Dash's voice wasn't low at all. He smirked, as he ushered Carina into a seat somewhere in the middle. They didn't really need to be up close.

-And was that Damien?

Thank youuu Rose for the set :D
 

Joshua Carter decided that he did not know how he felt about this wedding once he looked around a bit. First, it was just another wedding ceremony to him with all the tasty possiblity of having food and drinks and some fun. But when he saw the people around it suddenly felt like being in an odd celebration of something very MLE. Like he had to be all formal, behave formal, look formal, eat and drink formal.

When he was done looking around at other guests to see who else was there, he checked himself. Suit? It was good. Hopefully he had his pants on as well. He still was determined to blame Evelyn for almost forgetting to get his pants. Yes, yes, it was because of her. For what else reason would he forget to wear pants for the wedding of his boss? It could have caused a chaos.

HAHAHA...

As he walked farther into the place, he gently wrapped an arm around his pretty girlfriend's waist as he led her. He felt so proud to have the most beautiful woman in the world with him. Everything about her was perfect that evening.

''Well...this place has the real wedding air.'' he commented, staring at the decorations this time.

Tune is free to plaaaaaaay. Grab her. =)
 

Neptune Bott shook her head as Legend ran off. It was tempting to grab him by the suspenders and keep him for a minute, but... well, maybe not in front of his Auror friends. It was still tempting though, particularly with how he looked (can we getta a RAWR?) and was being so stressed and how overtly sweet he'd been the last few days.

Last year, even.

But he was off and gone and Neptune was sitting alone, up front... in a room full of... err... not her people. She definitely wore her look of fear for a moment before reigning it in. Neptune Bott was an adult, a perfectly grown up adult, that could sit alone at a wedding while Legend ran around worrying about rings that she knew first hand were in his pocket. She absently touched the area right below her eye and kept BOTH eyes on the lookout for the next Legend Chosen run-by.


Rina Scabior snorted at her brother's comment, but couldn't actually agree. Not that she was particularly looking at these men. Simply, she didn't care. She didn't know these people either, not the bride, not the groom, and not any of these other people. Didn't care to know them either.

Her reasons for attending with her baby brother were selfish. And her own.

And to wear these boots she'd have never worn otherwise.

"You're not worried. You're indifferent. You're also pessimistic and obnoxious." It was delightful. "Tell me about all these people, Retty."

She'd sincerely believed she wouldn't have to attend another wedding for a very long time after Marie's. Or perhaps she just hoped?

Receiving that invitation to her boss's wedding was as much a surprise to her as anything could be. She hadn't known the woman for very long, though because Miss Montague was her boss, there was no way she could decline the invitation. That nagging feeling that the woman would know she skipped on purpose just for the sake of not going was too much. Plus when Josh got his own invite...

Well, she was here now. Taking a deep breath after observing the crowd, giving an unmistakable scowl in the direction of Demetrius when she spotted him, Evelyn Flores stopped fiddling with her necklace and moved along with her boyfriend as he started walking them to...somewhere. Perhaps a seat. Surely this wasn't one of those things where the mysteries department sat on one side and the law enforcement sat on the other, right?

"No kidding." she muttered, taking notice of the actual room now instead of it's occupants. It was beautiful, of course, and Evelyn expected nothing less before she arrived. Still, it was a wedding. Not exactly her comfort zone. "You want to find a seat, or mingle a little first?"

Demetrius had to agree with Sherman that even he did not like big crowds. That was why he liked to work with the dead. He did not mind Nero since he was just as obsessed with the dead as he was.

He twists his neck to crack it and he spots Evelyn walking with it appears to be her boyfriend. She was giving Demetrius a scowl. Demetrius just gave her a wink and turned back to answer Sherman's question. "I have been fine Sherman, I'm just working with Nero and annoying Evelyn. The usual."

lolol Damien. xD A good two fingered salute I hope?
 

Not being able to spot Fliss just yet, Gabe turned his attention back to the most important person in the room. Until the bride arrived anyway. He grinned back at his boss when he spoke. "Wouldn't have missed it, believe me." Wes was a good guy, and Gabe had to get back into the wedding vein sometime - or his would be a disaster. "I'm ready. How are your nerves?" he asked, nodding to the flask of drink Van had given him.

"You're such an old romantic, man," Gabriel smirked, giving his friend a nudge in the ribs with his elbow. Not that he believed that. Jax wasn't usually the sort to get all soppy. Then again, it was one of those sort of occasions.

Oh, there was Damien. And Gem. Looking lovely as usual. As his friend acknowledged him, Gabriel raised a hand and nodded towards him. They'd not seen each other for a while, so it was time for a catch up at the reception.

The decorations were...well...they were wedding decorations. They looked nice. His gaze moved back on the people around again and...there was no change. Even the decorations made him feel like he was in a wedding, all the senior Aurors and other MLE people made him feel like he was still in the ministry, Level Two, of course. It was an odd contradiction for him.

Hopefully he had his beautiful Evelyn to make him feel better. Looking at her, he gave her a big smile when she spoke. ''I am trying to choose a seat good enough for you.'' Well...he had just started. There were lots of empty seats around but most of them were very close to some group of people. While it was okay with him, he knew that Evelyn did not like wedding crowds. So, he was looking for a seat a little bit away from the crowd JUST WHEN he saw someone wink towards himself. It made him stop.

No, probably not himself. But that fact made the possiblities even worse as it meant then the man had winked at Evelyn.

Clearing his throat, Josh gave the man a long stare before turning back to his girlfriend. ''Who's that?''

Le SCOFF! Her scowl deepened when she saw that wink, but she shook off the annoying feeling, turning her attention elsewhere. Again though, she had to remind herself, just like at her friend's wedding, to be good today. It was a a day of happiness after all. And stuff. Or something.

A seat good enough for her? Someplace far away from everyone would be perfect.

Finally smiling a little, she looked around to help him with the choosing, but her search was cut short with his question. A rather, confusing question? Her eyebrows raised slightly as she momentarily looked up to Josh to see just where he was looking. Oh. Pointed to the small group of people whom she worked with; and him.

"Who?" she asked, diverting her gaze back to Josh.

dun dunnnn da dunnnnnn dunnnnnnnnn dunnn da dunnn dun da dunnn dunnn da dunnnn
 

She smiled at him and whispered back "i know, crazy how it's already been a month." Just then the Music started and Millie watched, though she wasnt close and didnt know hardly anyone in her office she still loved weddings

Constance couldn't help but have a small grin pass her lips when Rafael spoke up. But of course, he did not recognize anyone. "I did not expect anything else. I was actually surprised you were invited at all," she spoke honestly - with a hint of tease in her tone. "I think they were just being polite" she added with a grin. Rafael needed to smile more. For some reason she was determined to get a few smiles out of him tonight.

It was surprise that they had bumped into each other .. after so many months. And him to invite her. It was a surprising turn of events, no doubt.

She was nervous to see people she had worked with for a small while again. But of course, that was not going to cloud her excitement for the occasion. After all, she was here with Rafael. He did owe her this. And a dance, if she remembered correctly. Which made her bump his shoulder lightly with his - motioning at her arm and his.

He should really offer her his arm now. Yes.

"A gentleman never makes a lady wait," she added in an easy tone.

... Wes looked like a doof. Had he, Van, looked as doofy on his wedding day? His eyes searched out Lilyan. Probably. Probably he still got that way. He didn't know what he looked like when he was looking at his wife, but if it was anything like how Wes was right now...

... then it was doofy.

He turned his head to watch Isobel, the expression on his face turning pensive as he stood there at Wes's side, doing his best not to lean on his cane too heavily.


----

"I will turn your spleen inside out if you ruin this for her." Althea leaned over and hissed in Izzy's father's ear, then she straightened up and started walking with the others. After their most recent encounter he surely knew it was not an idle threat.

Eyes front at first and then to one side and the other....

... a breath caught in her throat and she stared for too long and then made herself look away. Fine. Alright. No big deal. It didn't matter. It wasn't like it mattered.

Wedding mattered.

Izzy mattered.

She hadn't missed a step but now her expression was icy, distant. And when they reached the front she just stared straight ahead and refused to look.

"You shush." Gemini scolded lightly. "He definitely has reason to be nervous with all of these people watching him." Gemini could feel the pulsing of each and every aura in the room, mingling together. It was completely distracting.

She turned slightly to glance back when the music changed. Of all the auras, Isobel's was the brightest.

Lily's ears were burning.

Well, of course not really, but figuratively. She'd always wondered what the groom's men and the groom talked about when they waited for the wedding to start, and Van sort of had a silly look on his face at one point. That was his Lily look. She knew of it even if he didn't.

Just before the music changed, she caught his eye again, wondered how his knee was doing and blowing a kiss at him.

Oooooooh! Pretty dress! EEK. Lily and Isobel weren't super BFF's or anything, but she couldn't be more happy for her.

She still wasn't going to cry...

Success! Legend had gotten the pillow and everything! Nad now he was making his way up the isle. Rings on said pillow and head held high. He probably wasn't the one being looked at anyways, since the bride herself was smack behind him with her bridesmaids, but he had to look presentable. You know, as if he were going 'HERE ARE THE FANCY RINGS! AND THEN HERE'S THE BRIDE' but without speaking of course.

It really didn't take long for him to get to the front, beside the groomsmen, and only then did the ring bearer look down at the pillow. Yup. Rings still in place.

His mission was almost complete.


Now with that comment he couldn't help but crack a smile. "Shh. You don't need to translate my words to their real meanings." Not for everyone to hear at least. Exposing him and everything.

As the music started, Dash turned his head, his voice dropping even quitter. "The majority are MLE's i'm guess. Truly, I don't even know for sure." He don't name most of the faces in the room, really just the ones up front. "I'll tell you about them." All about them too.

The bridal party was small, and so there wasn't much to watch, and easy to spot them. Catching her eye Dash offered a small smile, almost encouraging. Maybe. It faded quickly though when there was no response and Dash simply leaned back in the chair. The icy attitude was nothing new. Whatever.

His arm was itching as he turned his attention to the bride.
