The Park, Saturday Evening

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

The ceremony had been beautiful. And the evening was only getting started. The guests were ushered into the large tent that had been erected (hee) in the park earlier in the day. The caterers had delivered and set up food and enough free alcohol to drink the entire town into a coma.

Of course, there was a special area reserved for the squirrels with dessert nuts and high-quality rum to keep Vala and Barney's smallest guests happy while they took their notes and danced the night away.

Pleased workers did a last check of the tables and cigar centerpieces before the guests and the wedding party arrived. The wedding reception was set to go exactly as planned.

[The reception, like the wedding, is open to everyone in Fandom. Once I put up some OCD Now.]

"I'm fine," he said. "You looked very nice during the ceremony."

"Thanks," she sighed, leaning against him. "So. Did I call it, or did I call it?"

"Call what?" Fraser asked, having not seen the...incident.

"...did you not see?" she asked, nodding toward where the...incident had happened.

"No, I came and sat down so as to stay out of the way," Fraser said.

"I think the bride dumped the groom," Robin replied.

"Oh no," Fraser said and frowned. "Oh...wow. Is Professor Stinson all right?"

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"He's Barney," she told him, shrugging.

"...why does that matter?" Fraser asked. "I'd imagine getting left like this would be hurtful."

"He'll bounce back. He's probably going to slink off with some bridesmaid later," she told him. "I'll check on him in a bit."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Mmm. Are you all right?" Fraser asked.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Aside from the aforementioned tiredness?" she asked. "I'm fine."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"I know you were worrying about this day so I wasn't sure," he said.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

She kissed his cheek. "It actually turned out okay."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"It did?" Fraser asked. "How?"

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"...there's a bar and dancing and stuff," she said. "And I look pretty."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"You do but weren't you expecting that?" Fraser asked. "Shouldn't be a surprise."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"And I gave Barney a book to deal with Vala dumping him," she added, waving a hand.

"Did you want this to happen?" Fraser asked.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Want? ...no, not exactly," Robin said carefully. "I'm just not surprised."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"You never did believe that Professor Stinson could change his ways," he said.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

She shrugged. "No, it scared me to think that he could."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Why's that?" Fraser asked.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Because then maybe I could too," she said quietly.

"You shouldn't base what you can and can't do on someone else," Fraser said.
