Who: Gai, Elizabeth, and all invited (and possibly some uninvited) guests
What: A wedding!
When: Just before sunset on June 30th
Where: The beach
Summary: Finally, after much planning, pre-wedding jitters, and ice cream consumed, this is it. The big day. Gai and Elizabeth are finally getting married. (Never mind the fact they've been technically married since the draft... shhhh.)
Rating: Keep it G, people, this is a public venue.

[The ocean has returned, the day is clear and sunny, and wedding fever is back in the air.]

[This time the location is the beach, and between the setting sun, the waves, and the decor there is no lack of ambiance. little battery-powered votives in paper lanters litter the space, and larger lanterns line a yellow petal aisle that leads up to a decorative arch with a few chairs. Over to the side is the reception set up, which looks like it can accommodate more guests than the ceremony. Frames draped with chiffon and lit with little electric light strings indicate both food and bar/drink areas, and similar setups surround both small and large tables for seating, lit both with electric lights and votives in varying glass jars. And of course, there’s music and an open floor for dancing.]


((OOC: Close CR/specifically invited friends are welcome at the ceremony, but the party is definitely for anyone who wants to come see the spectacle or welcome back the ocean! ♥ ))

"Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.-"

Rosalind and Robert, 9/10

[quantumgrammar]

"If this be error and upon me proved,

[She does not glance sidelong, but there is a sense of gravity between them all the same, as she raises her glass to eye level with the proclamation.]

"I never writ,-"

Rosalind and Robert, 10/10

[ablankpage]

[And his glance does not turn to the side, either. However, the faintest hint of more of a smile might tug at his lips as, in the same instant but the opposite hand, he raises his glass.]

"-nor no man ever loved."

[And, with that, a small nod in the direction of Elizabeth and Gai before he takes a small drink to seal the toast.]

[tearmeanewone]

[Yes, if Elizabeth ever had any doubts that the two of them were responsible for ensuring her education in her tower, that just put it to rest. She recognizes the sonnet, of course, but it means so much more today than the meaning it held for her as a beautiful piece of writing.]

[Once they're done, Elizabeth applauds, enthusiastically, even if it's not what she should be doing now.]

[Booker has no idea who wrote that - even if he does know who Shakespeare is vaguely - and truth be told, for a moment he wonders if they wrote it and considers asking before being reminded of the last time he tried that and just...raises his glass with a less than pleased look on his face.

No one wanted to watch you two make eyes at each other here, he thinks. And so, ignoring that he's literally seated right next to Robert - Booker mutters into his glass:]

Unbelievable.

[As he drinks to their toast.]

[ablankpage]

[Oh, he heard that. Make no mistake about that.

Which is why, as he takes his seat near Booker again, he murmurs under his breath:]

No one asked you to editorialise, Mister DeWitt.

[quantumgrammar]

Though the Bard did write for the common man.

[Given that death couldn't stop Rosalind Lutece from interfering in Booker's business, it would of course be silly to imagine that being one more seat away could do it.]

[amonglions]

[Booker smiles, as if he didn't hear Robert and wow maybe he should do that more often because he actually doesn't look like a miserable sad sack and ruins it by hissing through his teeth:]

Bite me, Professors.

[It's more to Robert than Rosalind, though he has a hard time believing all the lofty words were meant for poor people.]

[generalflirt]

[ Oh wow, that was beautiful. It feels familiar, too, and that makes it all the better. He's just a guest here, but he applauds for it following making the drink at the toast as well. The fact they were in such great unison added to the experience ]

[voidseeing]

[Gai is not sure whether to be impressed, vaguely creeped out, or both.

So he's going to settle for both, offering up polite applause but fixing them with an expression that indicates just how unsure he is about that entire thing.]
