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.]

Merlin snorts, but he certainly doesn't blame her. He could almost just throw this suit jacket and the bowtie away and settle with just the shirt and trousers because he's not used to them. But that much people will actually see, and he suspects you won't see Charlie's shoes missing.

"I won't," he responds, quietly and almost as if he's suppressing more laughter.

That helps. She feels better when she hears him laughing and she relaxes some more. She's feeling better and can get through this because she knows he's the one she's going home with and the one she's dedicating herself to in front of everyone that mattered.

"I should probably head back to my dressing room before someone comes looking," she says. But she doesn't let go yet.

"Oh. Um...I have something important to tell you about our rings."

He sees walking away is working out. But he's not about to nudge her when she says that, and instead peers curiously at the door as he leans properly against it.

"What?"

"When I went to make the rings with Luke, I asked for something special to be done to them," Charlie says happily. This was so exciting to finally be able to tell him.

"I asked him to make it so if we needed to find each other, for any reason, we'd be able to."

Neat, huh? "I figured, since it can sometimes get unusually hazardous around here, it'd help."

"Oh." He smiles widely, and squeezes Charlie's hand. "That's handy."

Really handy.

Charlie hears the smile, grinning as well and huffing out a soft laugh. Good. He liked it. Not that she had doubts, it was just nice to have it confirmed. She squeezes his hand as well before pulling it away.

"I really ought to get back to my dressing room. They'll come looking. I love you. I'll see you soon."

And with some...no...a lot of reluctance, Charlie turns to head back to her room. They'll be together again in a few minutes and everything will be fine.

"I love you too."

Oh, but he feels a bit as if hearing Charlie's voice was just what he needed. Feeling a little lighter, he closes the door again and goes back to preparing. He didn't have any doubts or anything, but reminders of why he's doing this are always good.
