[handing]

Who: Pepper Potts, Tony Stark, and everyone who has gathered there today.
What: A wedding and reception
When: Sept 14, All Day
Where: Cherry Blossom Hill / The Battle Dome
Summary: Pepper and Tony are getting married finally officially finally.
Rating: PG/PG-13 max? There's at least one kid here.
The decorations on the hill are simple ones; they've chosen this spot because it's naturally beautiful without the need for embellishments. Chairs have been set up for the expected guests, with a clear path laid out for the wedding party. And of course up front there is a place for those people to stand, in sight of everyone gathered so Tony won't be able to tell Pepper "I told you so" as color commentary won't be necessary.

After the ceremony everyone will be invited to go to the Battle Dome for the reception. There Tony's programmed an expansive hall with tables and seating enough for everyone. There's also a dance floor, which everyone is encouraged to take advantage of. The atmosphere is warm and vibrant, clearly intended to help all in attendance have a good time. Dinner will be served, and there's an open bar, with rum by request of the officiant.

Just don't get too rowdy, okay kids?

EDIT: Now with a sign up to catch the bouquet!}}

"Bugger, I know. Feel like I'm swimming through Princess Marina's courtyard, here."

It was rather an eyeful of turquoise, but Jack liked it. It felt underwatery and Caribbean-y.

"That suit suits you, you know."

[herotypical]

What a pair they were -- matching even when they were out of place. She in the suit and he in the...skirt...thing. Buffy play-waltzed him 'round another happy couple and smiled.

"I wasn't sure you'd dig it." Really, she should have known better. He'd compliment anything she dared to wear out the front door and a number of things that would never see the light of day again. "But by now, you've probably had enough rum to dig just about anything. Are you sure you don't wanna run home and pick up some real clothes?"

[all7seas]

"My buttocks aren't showing, are they?"

[herotypical]

"I didn't check. Should I check? Is that a thing you want me to be doing right now?"

[all7seas]

Cheek checking might be necessary. "This is the most bestest tablecloth I've ever worn, you know. Potts-Stark enjoys quality."

[herotypical]

Perhaps she was just buzzed enough to allow for a certain kind of undignified move: hauling him closer and peering 'round to all-too-brazenly give him a glance.

"They're billionaires. Now. Together. I suppose. Of course everything would be quality. Spiffier than a silver spoon."

[all7seas]

"We're impoverished ne'er-do-wells. Our spoons bend with very little pressure."

Jack pressed a kiss to the top of her head. She'd been drinking.

[herotypical]

"We? We? Speak for yourself, Captain. I happen to very often and very enthusiastically do well. Sometimes I even do great. And on occasion? Impossible."

[all7seas]

"I was talking about us, sweetheart." But he grinned at her. "And you always do great."

[herotypical]

She smiled -- dropping her nose down to his shoulder. Taking a moment. Living in it. Enjoying it. Well, right up until the point when she saw someone in the distance. Across the room. Hmm.

"It's time for me to do some more greatness. One dance, hun, and then I'm gonna go get you some pants."

[all7seas]

"Right. One dance." He didn't seem as interested in dancing properly as he did in just holding her in a vague sway. That alone was quite enjoyable -- would have been even more so without all these other people about.

"But you really don't have to leave the party on my account."

[herotypical]

"...I think it might actually be my job to make sure everyone's fully dressed. At least until last call."

[all7seas]

"I'm not indecent, but fine." It's Buffy; she does what she wants. "But don't take too long or be too picky about it."

[herotypical]

"Why? What happens to me if I'm either of those two things? Or maybe both?"

[all7seas]

"I'll get chilly under my tablecloth."

Don't overthink it, Buffy.

[herotypical]

"...Tragic."

[all7seas]

"Oi -- hurry back, eh?" Before he embarrasses himself too much with Vastra.

[herotypical]

"I will, I will," though her tone was already a little distracted -- even as she danced him over to the bar. Even as she kissed his cheek, not having to lean up quite so drastically with such fantastic heels giving her such a decent lift.

[all7seas]

"You're so TALL." He moved quite fluidly beside her, taking advantage of their nearness to the bar to swipe a bottle from the top of it -- not even checking to see what its contents were. "Er. Taller.

I ever tell you about Marty?"

Marty was very, very short.

[herotypical]

"...Marty?"

[all7seas]

"He's tiny. Shorter than you, even! But the ladies LOVE him."

[herotypical]

"Uh-huh. More proof, I suppose, that size isn't what matters--" she chided him rather playfully with a wag of her finger before searching out some water. Hydration for her pants-fetching mission.

[all7seas]

He totally had no intention of taking that as an insult. Really. Jack swayed as she left him as though suddenly bereft of That Particular Thing That Kept Him Upright While Drunk.

Something else would have to take her place in the meantime.

"See you soon, lovely."
