@KatherinWinter@Polaris North Cassandra jumped at the sudden knocking on her room door. The woman that was with her had left some time ago to help her husband with the children. She got up and headed to the door, making sure her hair and dress looked straight. It was a simple outfit she had decided to wear, nothing real big and fancy with a floral design that opposed the traditional white wedding dress. Some would call it a bit of a rebellious act, but her friends would admit that she merely forgot that the dress the bride wears is usually white at a wedding. Opening the door, she met eyes with Fred and smiled brightly. "Hello, can I help you?" she asked sweetly, her voice staying soft and sweet.

@Duniva
"Hello Miss. My name is Fred. I am here to show you the way to the chapel. Your groom is already there waiting for you. But before we go I have to ask you a few questions. First question is do you have your ring and gift for the groom? Second question is do uou have someone to walk you down the aisle? And third have you written your own vows or do you wish to use those written by the experts?" the little man answered.

Cassandra looked around as if something nearby would help her remember. "Yes, gimme just a moment to go get those two things," she finally answersed. She disappeared into her room for a moment, rummaging through her things before finally finding the bag she was looking for. Making her way back over to Fred, she grabbed the ring box from inside and held it in her hand. "Here is the ring, and here is the gift. My instructor, Kiadi, will be walking me down the aisle, and as for that third question I will be using the ones provided by the experts because I don't know crap about words."

@Duniva
Fred shrugged. He didnt think words were that hard. Surely she knew what her hopes and dreams were. But he didn't say this. It wasn't his job to make the couples communicate that was the experts job. He headed towards the chapel. He didnt have to worry about her seeing her groom so he took the direct route. "The music will start whenever you are ready. I hope that you find your groom to your liking."

@KatherinWinter Cassandra smiled brightly and double checked to make sure she had everything. She was extremely excited to see who she was being married off to, and she was even more excited to have her instructor walk her down the aisle. The only thing is, she had always figured it would be Duniva she was being married to, not some stranger. But oh well, life is full of twists and turns. And besides, she still loved Duniva dearly, it wasn't like she would not be able to see her ever again. "I'll probably be ready as soon as we get there. I have no reason to waste anymore time," Cassandra said, stepping out and closing the door behind her.

@Duniva@Polaris North
Fred lead Cassandra to the chapel. He hoped this day was everything she had dreamed it would be. The experts had worked hard to make this day they best they could. It wouldnt be perfect but nothing was. Life was messy. He smiled and bowed to her as they reached the door to the chapel. "Do you need anything else from me?"

@ladyanglaise
Fred hurried through the hotel. He had one more couple to get to the chapel. He hurried not wanting the groom to be late. The chapel would be reset and the guest seated. He made his way to the groom's door. He knocked on the door.

@KatherinWinter

Victor opened the door and saw a diminutive man standing there. He nodded, fairly used to random people showing up to escort him somewhere or another. "I was just about to get going. Is it time for the ceremony?" Victor asked, stepping out of the room.

"Hello sir. My name is Fred. I am here to show you the way to the chapel. But before we go I have to ask you a few questions. First question is do you have your ring and gift for the bride? And did have you written your own vows or do you wish to use those written by the experts?" the little man answered.

@KatherinWinter

"I have the rings right here." Victor answered as he withdrew them from the breast pocket of his suit. "And I'd prefer to say my own vows, thank you." In reality, his vows would not have been his own either way; the vows he would say had been written by someone he'd never met who had been hired by his grandfather.

@ladyanglaise
Fred wad surprised by that news. Most of the others were using the experts words. "Do you have a gift for your bride? We can stop at one of the shops along the way if you need to."

@KatherinWinter

Victor laughed softly. "I have a gift for her, don't worry." he said. "I'll be giving it to her after the ceremony, if that's alright with you."

@ladyanglaise
Fred nodded. "Most will exchange gifts before the reception. But it is alright if you choose to wait until you get to the hotel room. I will show you the way now." he hurried towards the chapel. He made sure to avoid any place the bride might be. It was important that th e couple not see each other until they were st the alter. When the reached the chapel he opened the door for the groom. "Good luck sir."

@KatherinWinter

Victor nodded and went into the chapel. It didn't take long for his family to filter in behind him. Truthfully, the only family member he had was his grandfather... everyone else was another Forbes 400 acquaintance or a minor celebrity, unless they were thinly veiled paparazzi. He made his ay around the room, making a point to talk briefly with everyone there without having a full conversation with anyone; it was clear that they were all doing the same thing. Victor thought little of it; it had always been this way for him.

@sirena
Fred hurried through the hotel. He had one more bride to get to the chapel. He hurried not wanting her to be late. Groom's tended to get cold feet if tgey were kept waiting too long. He made his way to the bride's door. He knocked on the door.

@KatherinWinter

Micah jumped slightly, clutching onto her chest. She was lost in her own worries, so she was startled when she heard a knock on the door. Getting up, she gave herself a once over before opening the door. She was visibly surprised to see a man of such short stature before her. "Um, h-hello. I-is it time now..?" Micah couldn't stop the shakiness in her voice. Not only was she nervous about the wedding, but she also had a rather difficult time talking to strangers.

"Hello ma'am. My name is Fred. I am here to show you the way to the chapel. But before we go I have to ask you a few questions. First question is do you have your ring and gift for the groom? And did have you written your own vows or do you wish to use those written by the experts?" Fred asked with a friendly smile.
@sirena

"Ah, y-yes. Let me get them. For the um vows, I'll just uh use the ones written by the experts..." Micah had actually spent some time writing her own vows but felt too embarrassed to actually read them out loud. She was sure the experts had better ones written anyway. She picked up the ring box on top of the dressing table along with her gift for her future husband. The ring was a silver band with a small diamond embedded into it. For the gift, Micah had spent quite some time figuring out what to get her husband-to-be until finally settling on a simple leather and gold watch with the date of their wedding engraved into it. It beautiful, practical, and sentimental all at once. She just hoped that he would like it. Taking a deep breath, she gave the small man before her a smile. "Please lead the way."

@KatherinWinter @ladyanglaise

"Y-yes, my father." Micah smiled at the aforementioned man who was waiting by the doors of the chapel. Her father looked at her, misty-eyed. She was surprised since her father was usually so calm and collected, but it was a big day after all. He approached her and gave her a kiss on the top of her head before handing her a bouquet of flowers. Micah made sure to thank Fred before her father lead her through the doors and down the aisle. She felt a little better with her father by her side but still felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach. She tried her best to smile at everyone. To one side was her family - a few aunts and uncles, some cousins, her grandparents, her stepmother along with her half-brother, and her mother's new boyfriend. Her mother was sitting right up front just like she said she would, and Micah's best (and only) friend Emily was standing by as her beautiful maid of honour. To the other side was who Micah assumed to be her husband-to-be's family and friends. They were dressed rather extravagantly; perhaps he was from a well-off family? It wasn't a big deal to her if he was or wasn't, she knew that there were more important things in life than money. Although it was a bit a strange that there were more than a few people with large cameras. When her father handed her over to the groom, she gave her gift and the bouquet to Emily; who gave her a reassuring smile. Micah finally got a good look at her future husband. The fact that he was quite attractive wasn't helping her nerves at all. She kept her gaze downwards, hoping that the flush on her cheeks would fade quickly.
