Someone's getting married.
When; November 14th
Rating; FFFFF it's a wedding. We'll say PG
Characters; Charlie, Merlin, Invitee's and the like
Summary; Charlie and Merlin are getting married. It's probably grossly adorable.
Log;
Charlie was married. Charlie McGee, the girl who couldn't get close to anyone back home for more reasons than she thought fair, found someone in the City to marry and that someone was, of all people, Merlin.
The ceremony itself had been nothing short of stunning, right in the center of Xanadu and even though she won't admit to it later (Except to Merlin because he had the best view of it), she teared up a few times during the ceremony. When it came time for vows, she was nervous, hands shaking slightly but when they were finally announced as husband and wife and Charlie could kiss Merlin, she suddenly felt so incredible about everything. All nervousness was gone and all she could feel was ridiculously happy.
Now at the reception, food and cake courtesy Rapunzel (And the dress, too), Charlie was busy speaking to guests and enjoying one of the most surreal moments of her life.
[ooc: there will be several threads to tag into in the comments, a pre-wedding one if anyone wants to say hello to charlie or merlin beforehand. a post-wedding one at the reception. and there will be one where guests can interrupt merlin and charlie trying to have a moment to themselves.]

Re: post-wedding, pre-reception?
At home, marriage is very impractical for anyone who hopes to be a starship captain; in the City, it's even worse. 'Til death do us part has no meaning that is not strictly symbolical. Creating a bond such as marriage that could be broken in a day or a year and won't even be remembered outside of the City makes no sense to him, especially when it is between individuals who haven't known each other long. The whole thing strikes him as wholly ridiculous and a guarantee of future unhappiness.
But he did show up because he's Charlie's friend, and friends should be there for each other even when one is doing something nonsensical. Chekov can be found near the back, trying to decide whether congratulating Charlie would constitute a lie or simply be a polite thing to say.]
Re: post-wedding, pre-reception?
You're very quiet.
[It was worrying.]
no subject
[He forces a smile that disappears when Charlie's demeanor seems to invite honesty. But of course--she is usually very straight-forward herself. He can return the favor.]
I am only concerned. Maybe it would be something better discussed on a different day.
no subject
Other than concerned, are you alright?
no subject
Other than that, yes, thank you. [Not completely true.] And everything will be better once there is alcohol.
...Also, congratulations. To find someone to marry is not an easy thing.

It's an open bar. You can get whatever you want, whenever you want.

[Also, open bar? What? This is a foreign concept, but it sounds amazing.]
