The Sherman-Argentum Wedding; Dahlgren Chapel, Middletown, MD; Friday Afternoon [01/06].

Although there was a bit of a chill in the air, the wintry day was not that bad for a little wedding, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to clear in the sky for the event. Tucked away on a quiet hill, surrounded by trees, the historic Dahlgren Chapel exuded not only quaint tradition, but undeniable privacy for the bride and groom and their friends and collected family.

The small church itself was…tastefully!...decked out in most black and red, with splashes of the occasional white to keep it from being a little too Hot Topic goth-y, in a way that very intentionally meant to be a reflection of Liz's engagement ring.

And, so, with no Fandom Weirdness to get in the way this time, the day was finally here for a small little wedding several months/ten years in the making.


[[ open wedding is open! Please, please, please feel free to mod an invite if you'd like to attend, because we have both had A WEEK and have not had much brain, but the more, the merrier! It's a small wedding, but not that small! ]]

Steven was there. He wouldn't miss wishing Liz and Prompto happiness on this day for all the world. He dressed for the occasion in a blue suit but with a green pocket square that matched the color of Llewellyn's tie.

He of course took one of the cameras. He wanted to do Liz proud and show he'd paid attention in the lesson she'd given him what now felt like a lifetime ago.

Watts? Also here, obviously. In his green plaid suit and tie, along with a waistcoat that matched the colour of Steven's suit.

Though he would never claim any particular skill at photography, he took one of the cameras regardless and would do his best.

You'd be pretty hard-pressed to catch Summer before the actual ceremony, running around and making sure everything was set and in place before things really got started. She was, after all, pretty much the de facto bridesmaid here, as well as the wedding planner, the second of which was a role she was clearly leaning into hard with her smart little suit that matched the wedding colors and everything. But making sure everything was going well with guests and arrivals was part of that, too, so you would catch her occasionally sweeping by to ensure that was going well, too.

Dwight was definitely there, he wouldn't have missed it for anything. The suit was his usual snazzy burgundy one he wore when a suit was needed. So, with camera in hand, Dwight made his way in, hoping he could get some good shots for Liz and Prompto at least.

Amaya had been debating a little about whether or not to come to the wedding; she wasn't really the wedding going type, if she could help it. But Prompto had been a student (and a good one at that), and she'd worked with Liz a little, and she had been invited, and she did have that whole thing about having all those nice clothes and not letting them go to waste, so she was there, feeling a bit awkward about it, and, yes, that was the same dress she'd worn to the last wedding. Why would you need to wear a different one when you already had a perfectly good one already?

Goose was there, wearing the same suit that he had worn to New Years but he had made the effort to dress up so it was pretty good progress for him.

He grabbed a camera, not sure how good he was going to be with the photos but he was going to try.

Making it through the door had been a little bit of an adventure, but after figuring out the best way to duck and bend his knees (it was an interesting thing, really, to be so tall and yet have such short legs so that bending one's knees didn't really make that much of a height difference!), Sidon was relieved to find out that the interior of the church had a nice, tall ceiling.

And everyone else would probably be relieved that he fully intended to sit toward the back!

Somehow they had found a suit that fit Hellboy, even though he was looking a tad uncomfortable in it.

He did have his camera, ready to take photos and most of them were going to be of Rain carrying the rings but that wasn’t really that surprising for Hellboy.

Abe was wearing his special suit that let him breathe out of water and if he was looking a bit out of his element being at the wedding, he was …quite literally but he was trying to be good and not focus on all the thoughts around him.

He did have a camera but he was going to have a bit of trouble with taking the photos with his webbed hands.

Even though Prompto was his newest employee and he had definitely flirted with Liz quite shamelessly on occasion, Shunsui really didn't know the bride and groom very well. But an invitation had been extended to him, and who was he to say no? Besides, he loved a party, and weddings were usually a great opportunity to meet and chat up any beautiful distant cousins or attractive aunts in the married couple's extended family...

Shunsui was about to be very disappointed in this wedding.

Although there was a certain blacksmith...

Hannibal was definitely here. In a grey double-breasted wool suit with maroon and blue tie.

He'd pick up a camera and do his best to take some artistic shots. Which would probably all end up vaguely threatening looking due to odd angles and focus on architectural elements.

Re: Pre-Wedding - Bride and Groom Respective Pre-Wedding Prep/Flailing

[personal profile] hashtag_chocobro 2023-01-06 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Prompto had been pacing in his respective prep room so much, it was kind of a surprise he hadn't just run a trench into the floor, especially as the hour drew nearer and nearer. This was fine, everything was fine, he was totally ready for this! He definitely wasn't internally flailing about everything that could possibly go wrong. Oh, god, what if he tripped and fell in front of everyone? What if he flubbed up the vows? What if the church burned down? What if Ardyn showed up? Or Verstaal?

At least he wasn't worried that Liz was going to suddenly up and change her mind, though. He was thinking that she probably should, get out before it was too late, but still! Progress!

He tried not to focus on the things that could go wrong, and instead focus on the fact that he was getting married in a little bit, but that didn't help. All that did was just unlock a whole different flavor of anxiety, yaaaaay.

Now that the 'hard' part was over, Gladio figured he could just lean comfortably on one of the tables and relax, although, by that, he mostly meant sort of quietly observing the party while trying to work his way through the complicated mix of feelings and thoughts that all of it was bubbling up inside of him. He was happy for Prompto, though, he really was, but a desire for things to have gone quite a bit differently was just the beginning of his conflicted emotions about this whole....everything, if he was honest with himself.

At this point, Prompto still couldn't believe they'd actually done it. He still felt like he wasn't going to really be able to breathe entirely easily until he and Liz were hightailing it off to the Bahamas for a few days, but there was definitely something about having gotten to this point that was just...everything. They did it. They were married now, and even if something still happened here at their little reception, it wouldn't change that fact. It would suck, don't get him wrong, but it almost felt as if a curse that had been hanging over his shoulders for ten years now was finally lifted.

And it was much easier now to just sit back, marvel at the reality of it, and be grateful for all the people who had managed to come and celebrate this day with him and his wife!

Wife!

Ha! What were the fucking odds, man? This whole thing was just wild.

You know what the nice thing about the food offerings being mostly centered around small bites and hors d'oeuvres? Plenty of little bites on little sticks!

So while Amaya was definitely not a wedding person, she was glad she came to appreciate that alone, really.

Dwight did have a gift for the newlyweds. He placed the small, simply wrapped package on the table. Inside was a gift that was really to be expected all things considered, but hopefully, the new couple liked it .

Dwight was not the best with photos. There were likely a few pictures at least that would have his thumb in the way. But there were also some nice ones of the reception and of everyone talking and congratulating the newlywed.
