Saint Clements Castle; Portland, Connecticut, Saturday [ 08/08 ]. -- Reception.

Aug 08, 2009 11:16

The main event was finished (and not even...too much of a disaster...right?) and now it was time to fully celebrate the happy new couple, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Cooper.

With a lot of drinks, a lot of food, some dancing and hopefully nothing weird. The reception rooms of the Saint Clements were impeccably decorated and welcoming, and it was sure to be ( Read more... )

Gifts Tables -- 08/08. perfectmissyork August 8 2009, 15:35:43 UTC

Where you put the wedding gifts! There's an expected minimum of five toasters.

Irulan's gift was already on the table, to no one's surprise, it was a hat box. Not even the hat would be a surprise.

But hopefully the gift certificates to the prestigious shopping centers in Madison Avenue hidden in the box would be.

Sophie had gotten the happy couple a crystal vase, and a reproduction (yes, reproduction-- of course!) of The Kiss if that was to Charlotte's taste. Really, she owed the woman for the excellent deal she'd gotten on the gallery.

Faith had no fuckin' idea what you got someone for a wedding, but she promised herself she was gonna behave and not buy something obscene just for shits and giggles.

She'd spent a few hours at the mall, searching, and then found a clock. It was pretty, and it looked kinda fancy, so maybe they'd like it. The guy had freaked her out by asking what she wanted engraved on it, and worse, by suggesting sappy shit like "Two Hearts Become One" or "Forever in Love" or other things she couldn't imagine putting on there. She'd settled for Congratulations Dale and Charlotte.

She'd wrapped it herself, which was why the paper looked like shit, and the card hadn't had any special messages inside -- just her name scrawled. She was fidgeting when she left it at the table, and had to talk herself out of taking it back and throwing it away and pretending she'd just blown off getting them a gift at all.

The Open Bar -- 08/08. perfectmissyork August 8 2009, 15:36:04 UTC

Which is open. Did we mention that?

Re: The Open Bar -- 08/08. gunandcoffee August 9 2009, 00:26:04 UTC

Reese's back was to the Open Bar. She wasn't looking at it or going near it but damn was it burning a hole in her back.

The Dance Floor -- 08/08. perfectmissyork August 8 2009, 15:36:56 UTC

Because a wedding is not a wedding without people dancing like idiots.

And the Funky Chicken.

For mingling as the night dies down and it's your last chance for a wedding hook up.

Re: Residual Mingling -- 08/08. neverfaithful August 9 2009, 03:45:47 UTC

Faith was mildly buzzed, and she hadn't embarrassed the shit out of the bride or groom. That made today a success, in her book. Time for a celebratory drink.

Re: Residual Mingling -- 08/08. pieandcoffee August 9 2009, 03:55:13 UTC

"Love the gift," Dale said approaching Faith with a grin. "Can I buy you a drink?"

The joke being it's an open bar of course.

Re: Residual Mingling -- 08/08. neverfaithful August 9 2009, 03:59:55 UTC

Faith didn't blush very often, but that managed to turn her cheeks pink.

"It's ... stupid," she said, scuffing at the ground with her toes. "Saw it at the mall an' figured, fuck, maybe you ... needed a clock or some shit. You can toss it if you want."
