I know I misbehaved and you made your mistakes And we both still got room left to grow And though love sometimes hurts I still put you first And we'll make this thing work but I think maybe we should take it slow

►Celio was, in layman's terms, struck dumb by his sudden luck. He had assumed after his rather pushy and excitable stature with Fiona at their second meeting that the woman would try and avoid him like the plague rather than actually write him like he had asked. Prayed actually but she didn't need to know all his secrets just yet. They had corresponded regularly with the use of her own owl and his daughter's when they felt her's deserved a rest. The more he learned about the beautiful redheaded woman the more intrigued and enthralled he became. More so even after their rather impromptu date at a friend of her's wedding. He won't lie, he'd been a bit preoccupied with making sure his teenage daughter wasn't swamped with horny emotional teen boys but he hadn't been blind to the beauty of his date, nor had he been silent on that fact. He still found it adorable that her blush could match the shade of red as her fiery locks. He hadn't wanted for them to have another date, perhaps without the confines of a dance club and the accompaniment of his teen daughter, but her crazy work schedules and his....work they hadn't had the time. But in spite of not knowing when their schedules would correlate, the young father began saving up money with no permanent plan in mind until he received an advertisement notice in the mail about how Forest Park was having their yearly summer event and that they were renting cabins and cottages out to patrons for next to nothing and soon the tendrils of a weekend getaway began to form in his mind. Celio of course ran it by Fiona to ensure she'd be up to that sort of thing and once she had given the go ahead he went head first into finding the closest to perfect cabin or cottage that was secluded but not completely cut off and had a wonderful view to watch the sunset and gaze up at the stars. Finally he set a date for when her business would be slowed and when Gia would be away at school and rented a small one bedroom cabin just beyond the outskirts of the forest so that they could exit it on foot to go to the beach if they so chose. While he knew he was being a bit forthcoming by renting a one bedroom, he also made sure that if Fiona wasn't comfortable that it also came out with a pullout couch. Though if he were completely honest, he hoped it wouldn't come to that. He had called a shop assistant (really his only assistant) saying he'd be taking an early weekend and that he was within his rights to close shop early if he wished. Celio had instead spent the morning finishing up some projects he had been delaying for customers before driving out to the site to get things ready for the weekend. Which mainly included stocking up the kitchen, pulling out the linens, and preparing a light meal for himself and Fiona as well as the drinks. She had told him she wasn't a big drinker and he respected that so instead of a fancy bottle of wine he had brought fancy warm apple/cranberry cider. When everything was down he went outside to sit on the porch swing to enjoy the September weather and read while he waited for Fiona to arrive.◄

spaceObviously, Fiona couldn't simply apparate to the cabin. Call her crazy, but she'd always been paranoid about being caught by a muggle. She didn't care to get mixed up in any sort of legal trouble because she wasn't careful enough with where she popped up. So, after being told the location of the cabin, she'd done a little research to scout out a location, apparated there, and called a taxi to take her the rest of the way. A bit of a hassle, perhaps, but she wasn't keen on simply appearing in the cabin itself and finding someone other than Celio there. Room service? Did places like this have that? She hadn't a clue, she'd never been anywhere like this before. Or much of anywhere, actually. She didn't like travelling alone, and hadn't really ever had anyone to travel with. She'd gone with Jaime a couple of times, but those hadn't been fun trips exactly, given that he'd been working.
spaceAs they made their way to the cabin, the driver tried to make some idle chitchat, but she was obviously distracted; the redhead felt slightly bad about it, but each time the man started talking again, she found her attention wandering. As they pulled in the drive and she spotted Celio on the porch, she felt her cheeks heat. Technically speaking, this was only their second date. And yet they were supposed to spend the weekend together, at this cabin, in seclusion... When he'd presented the idea, she'd not thought much of it, given his reasoning. They were both very busy, work was exhausting, as was dating, so trying to find the time and energy to do both was a challenge. Setting aside a long weekend, when they could both rest but also spend time together, seemed to make sense. But now, it felt like it was much more serious than she'd initially considered it, and she was nervous. They wrote all the time, of course, but that didn't really mean they knew one another particularly well, did it? Their time spent together prior to this didn't even total up to a full 12 hours, and now they were about to spend several days in each other's company. What if she had some annoying habit that he hadn't had time to pick up on before? What if he snored like a chainsaw? What if two hours into this, they discovered some awful, horrible incompatibility between them, and everything blew up in their faces?
spaceShe scowled faintly, and gave her head a shake as the taxi driver parked. He glanced at the porch, then whistled low, causing Fi to blink in confusion. When she figured it out, she blushed again. Well, it wasn't as though Celio wasn't a good looking man, after all. She just hadn't quite expected the taxi driver to agree, given that one of his many attempts at conversation had been telling her about his wife, who he'd seemed very much in love with. Then again, loving one person didn't make you incapable of noticing how attractive another was, she supposed. The Hufflepuff paid the man, declining his assistance with her bag (just the one, thanks to magic), and exited the cab, waving to Celio and praying that the red in her cheeks had faded."Af'ernoon,"she called, hustling up to the porch."Sorry I'm a wee bi' la'e, I go' me head wrapped up in sometin' an' los' track o' th' time."Glancing up at the cabin, she noted that, all in all, it was very... quaint. Cute. She was personally glad they had a cabin, though, and weren't camping. She didn't much care for the idea of camping.

►For the first ten minutes or so Celio switched between reading a line or two in his book and searching the one road to the cabin for any sign of Fiona. It crossed his mind that she might just apparate here but he countered that by assuming she would think it rude to just show up like that. He wouldn't see a problem with it now, maybe an hour ago when he had been showering...maybe it was for that reason. Either way he hadn't thought she'd magic her way in so he kept watch on the road until he hit a snag in his book. Or rather, the character fell into a trap neither he nor Celio saw coming. He got so caught up in his book that he nearly missed her arrival, had he not heard the car door shut so loud in comparison to the quiet of the forest he might have either thrown his book towards the trees and started yelling about the ineptitude of the main character or worse just kept reading in angry silence and missed seeing her. He was very glad all he did was jump in surprise before his jaw dropped at seeing Fiona for the first time in months. She was dressed a bit formal (to him) to be lounging about in a cabin all day but that didn't stop him from appreciating it or being thankful for it either. He stood to greet her like a gentleman (or close to it from all the lessons his mother pounded into him and his brothers) and gave her a smile, amused that she was already apologizing for being late. "You're fine, I was just relaxing a bit. I spent most ofa the morning making sure everything was put inna place. I also made us a little snack in case you're hungry? Or would you rather just relax? I was surprised to see we had a decent television connection and we get a grand total of five radio stations." Celio said with an amused grin and chuckle. He dog eared the page in his book before closing it and opened the door to the cabin for her to go through first before finally noticing her luggage. "Do you needa help with your bags?"◄

spaceFiona blushed crimson when Celio said he'd been there, setting things up and preparing, since that morning. Here she was, running late because she simply hadn't been able to leave a task unfinished, in spite of the fact that it would have been waiting for her when she returned to work after the trip."Weel, promise I'll make i' up t' ye?"she ventured hopefully. How she'd make it up to him, she had no clue, but she was sure she'd figure something out. It'd be easier to figure out, if her skills weren't limited to... well, sewing. She wasn't really good at much else. She was a decent cook, she supposed, but not that great. And he'd already taken it upon himself to make something, so that was a moot point at the moment. If she were better, she'd promise him something nice for dinner, but given that her cooking skill was basically just good enough that she could feed herself and didn't ruin every new recipe she tried, she doubted it'd do much to apologize for being late.
spaceWhen he offered to help her with her bags, she held up her bag, singular, and shook her head."Nay, I go' i'. Shrinkin' an' featherweigh' charms, I go' everythin' righ' here,"she replied. Her stomach growled then, and she recalled that her little project (which had taken all day, mind you) had kept her from eating a decent lunch... She'd just grabbed a snack from her flat upstairs. A healthy snack, but certainly not enough food for a full day."I'm famishe' though, so a snack sounds grea'. Lead th' way,"she said cheerfully, gesturing towards the door. Once she'd eaten, she'd see if he'd give her a tour, maybe. Not that there'd be much of one, since the place was fairly small (and cozy, she thought), but still, she figured she could let the man show her around.

〖Nell was in a state of pure euphoria, she had never really been in that sort of state (alright once but she wasn't sure if it was appropriate to mention) but it certainly didn't hold a candle to this instance. She was married, actually legally and completely married to the absolute love of her life. She felt like she should add a "finally" but that would be in poor taste. Plus maybe the gods had a plan for her and Rose to wait as long as they did; she certainly wouldn't have imagined such a great venue for them to say their vows. Nor would she have imagined her partner saying yes to such a thing, though she was pleasantly surprised by what Rose said yes and no to. The no's mainly came through whenever she tried bringing strays home. Especially the not so tiny ones. And this place was great for their children! Oh Cantu, she just about cried again just thinking of it. She was married and had two wonderful children to love and spoil just like she'd always wanted. Aine and Theo had looked beautiful and dashing as they walked down the aisle one flinging flower petals and the other almost solemnly holding their wedding bands on a silk pillow. If seeing her kids being part of her wedding, seeing Rose in an actual wedding dress and not a sexy lady suit like she had been led to believe would happen just about had her heart burst from her chest. Though she could stop that she couldn't stop the torrent of happy tears that had cascaded as well as being hugely thankful that most of her makeup was waterproof and smudge proof.
After saying their vows framed right in front of the gazebo, trading rings and kisses, then being declared wife and wife they corralled everyone towards the wildflower meadow where tables and chairs had been set up for the reception though Nell had to keep being brought back from showing one of the kids an animal that wandered in their path or worse going off in search of one of the exhibits. Thankfully though they got through the dinner, the cutting of the cake, and first dances all with relative ease (though she yet again might've teared up at the father/daughter dance and more at the mother/daughter dance her mother did with Rose). Now she was able to relax with her wife (so she giggled, she was allowed!) and watched the relative chaos that came from bringing together their friends and family with an easy grin while her gaze strayed from where their two little ones were to the woman who put the smile there in the first place. "You know, all this makes it completely worth the wait." Nell teased her redheaded wife following it with a soft kiss to her cheek. 】

Can't help if I space in a daze, My eyes tune out the other way, I may switch off and go in a daydream
Rose never thought she'd be so nervous in her entire life. The butterflies she had felt when she had proposed to Nell were nothing compared to the ones when she was underneath the arch when she and Nell said their vows to each other. There had been a slight pang of sadmess that her father hadn't been able to walk her down the aisle, or that her mother hadn't fretted over her dress, hair, and makeup, or that Tabbie hadn't squealed with delight when she told her about the engagement, but it was a distant one. Instead, she had Gerald and Jarai and basically Nell's entire family fret over the details (even if Jarai had kicked her out of the kitchen more often than not when designing the cake), and Claire had been the one to stay up late at night at the talk about how the wedding was going to be and help with ideas when Rose had closed the shop for the evening. Ada and Marina had been a big help too, and she was thankful that she had so many people that cared enough to help make the wedding as wonderful as they could imagine. Rose might have blushed like crazy when she came out in her gown and walked down the aisle (without heels, thank you!) and couldn't look away from Nell as she herself made her own appearance.
Now that the wedding was over, she couldn't help but cast a gaze toward her and Nell's children (and Theo certainly made a wonderful ring bearer while Aine had shyly carried the flowers) and smile. This had been well worth the wait, she thought to herself. Well worth the looks Nell gave her, well worth the searching dozens of stores to find the perfect ring, and well worth the time she had prepared herself for all of this. If she at thirteen had imagined that she and Nell would be sitting here surrounded by friends and family as a wedded couple, she couldn't remember, and she leaned against the shorter woman after the kiss with a bemused smile on her face. "At least your mum managed to wait long enough before dragging us down the aisle herself. I don't want to imagine making her wait another few years would have been like." Her tone was teasing, and she nuzzled against Nell's neck, feeling a happy sort of tired after everything.

In this head my thoughts are deep, But sometimes I can't even speak, Would someone be and not pretend I'm off again in my World
I rememberwhen myfather put his fistthrough The wall thatseparatedthe dining room Late December with myheartin my chest and theclouds of my breath Didn't know where we wererunningto But don'tlookback
Aine had been very excited about her moms' wedding. It was great. She thought them getting married was the best thing ever. Now she would never ever have another daddy because she didn't need one she had 2 mommies! Mummy Nell had asked her to be their flower girl, and she had been a little bit nervous, but had done it for them. She had tried her very best to skip down the aisle all cute like, but it had ended up more of a nervous shuffle while she shoved flower petals and people's faces. Well not really their faces... more their feet. She had to be honest, it was kind of fun once she got over how scary it was.
She'd been slowly learning that about a lot of things recently. Like her mummy, upon realizing she was terrified of water, had first bought her a bunch of mermaid coloring books, and then she bought her a mermaid tail, and now she'd bought her a bunch of sparkly 'bath bombs' whatever those were, and a cool littler mermaid cave to play with in the bath. Aine hadn't quite braved the whole water filled bath yet, but she was almost excited to try it now that she could be a mermaid. Cuz like mummy and mama said, there was nothing to be scared of in water when you were a mermaid! Mermaids could breathe under water! So if she was a mermaid and took a bath... nothing bad would happen cuz she could breathe underwater and then she wouldn't get the water all up in her mouth and make her cough and feel icky. Thats how bathtime used to be with her daddy.... she didn't like that.
So now she'd tried being a flower girl and she'd had fun so the prospect of bath time wasn't super scary anymore. Maybe she'd try it after the wedding playtimes. She was sure she'd get pretty messy. What with there being cake, and dirt, and flowers, and she was in a white dress! Silly mummy hadn't thought that one through very well. She pranced up to her parents and hugged each of them. "Aine is gonna ayte sum cake an' play in de flowers nigh gran'. so don't worry aboyt Aine too much okay?" She had also taken the habit of talking in the third person sometimes. She thought it was fun and silly. She glance at Dot and grinned. "yer wanna c** ayte wi' me Dot?" She asked, holding out a hand at her brother.
We'll be lacing the sameshoes That we'vewornthrough To thebottomof the line And weknowthat we'reheadstrong And our heart'sgone
Theo had been counting down the days until the big wedding. He'd never been part of the wedding party before, and was a bit disappointed they didn't get pointy hats or confetti or ribbons or anything! He did get a cool new bow tie and a new pocket square to match! He wandered around in his favorite shirt and sneakers until he was led inside to dress in a snazzy suit. Well... he thought it was snazzy. The boy frowned as his hair was combed, but he waited a few minutes and happily rumpled it all up again. When it was time to do their little walk, Theo stood in line just in front of Aine, and he held his fancy little gold pillow. He watched with a grin as the rings were tied on with fancy little ribbons, then he was able to wait his turn in peace.
When it was his turn to walk, Theo moved at what he thought was the right pace, though he kept pausing to admire this or that, or to try and make sure he wouldn't trip. When he arrived at the altar, he watched the proceedings with an amused grin, until he was able to hand over the rings. Then he just watched. When they kissed, the boy grinned, happy for his mums. They deserved lots and lots of kisses! After it was all over, he got to dance with everyone, including his mums and his grandmum! It was great!
Theo had to admit the wedding turned out to be a party, though he wished there was a giant pinata filled with cupcakes. Well... maybe that'd be a bit messy. He was lost in thought as he followed his mums and Aine to a table, where... cake!! There was a huge, tasty cake there! His eyes went wide as he watched the cake cutting, then he looked over at Aine, who was saying that Aine was going to get cake and play in the flowers. She was talking funny, but he was getting used to it. She asked if he wanted to eat with her, so he looked between Rose and Nell, then nodded. "I can, yep. We can have cake, and then go see if we can spot a cool bird or something! Τόση πλάκα!" He laughed, hurrying to go get a piece of cake so his tummy would stop gurgling.
The crisp spring air brushed against Joey’s cheeks, leaving them a tad cold. The wedding location looked stunning. Flowers and roses of different shades and colours bloomed all around them, which made the wedding look spectacular as it was filled with purple – purple flowers, cakes, cookies, seats, table cloths, decorations. The colour really did look great on Nell, and even with Rose’s flaming orange hair. And most importantly, the two brides looked extremely happy and in love. As Joey watched the women exchange wedding vows, he squeezed Naitanna’s hand lightly, which had been intertwined with his the whole time that they’ve been sitting. “Remember when that was us?” he whispered into his wife’s ear, trying not to disturb anyone around them (which were mainly family members). Tanna’s mother would probably rip his mouth off if he spoke too loudly. The man wondered if he and Naitanna looked that in love when they got married – though he probably didn’t have to. They were in love and managed to stay in love and continue to spark up their relationship. It was a lot of work, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. And the married couple have brought up two handsome boys and adopted a beautiful little girl, who will all be cared for and loved and raised in a loving home and family. Once the reception ended, Joey looked down at his kids who were sitting in the row right in front of him. “You all sat very nice and quietly. Thank you,” Joey said, standing up from his seat. “Now, who’s hungry?” He was, that was no question.

((OOC: outfit in left picture))
Ariana sat in between Mackenzie, who she pulled out of school for the weekend, and Seth, who she dragged invited as her date. Out of the handful of weddings that Ari has attended, she’s never, not even once, had brought a date. Even when she had been seeing Blaise, she hadn’t invited him to her brother’s wedding. That was probably because she didn’t consider them in a serious relationship. For Seth, she felt differently. It wasn’t just lust – the feeling she felt was definitely love, and not in the way that she would love a family member or best friend. The singer had fallen head over heels for her boyfriend and there was no denying it. But how could she not? He was sweet and dreamy and great with kids (though he’d sort of have to be considering he helps eleven year olds find their perfect wand all the time). He listened to Ariana when she needed to talk about something, and she did the same with him, and as a bonus, he was great in the bedroom. What more could a girl want? Occasionally, Ari wondered if Seth felt the same towards her.
Nell and Rose exchanged their wedding vows and looked so happy doing it. They were definitely made for each other – and haven’t they been dating since Hogwarts? It was about time they got married. And they looked madly in love with each other. How precious was that? And their two kids were the flower girl and ring bearer, which was insanely adorable and their outfits matched the purple theme that had been surrounding them. Honestly, this whole wedding was pretty cute and in good taste. Although there was a ton of purple, it wasn’t overdone. The brides looked as lovely as ever, their wedding party was spot on, and the whole event was surrounded by an array of flowers of different colours. This place was gorgeous. Once the ceremony ended, Ari turned her attention to Seth and asked, “How about some food? You’ll owe me a dance after, though.”
I'm over here doing what I like!
I'm over here workin' day and night!
And if my real ain't real enough
Then I don't know what is.

╔════════════════════════════════╗ Mackenzie Hawthorne Gryffindor - First Year - Eleven Years Old - Reserve Chaser - Halfblood - Adopted ╚════════════════════════════════╝
Mackenzie was barely paying attention to the ceremony itself – she was mostly focused on the colours and the flowers and the fact that she was wearing nail polish, mascara and eye liner (even if it was only a bit of both), and most importantly, glittery lip gloss! She’s been to a handful of weddings before, but this was the first time her mum had let her wear makeup. How exciting was that? Immensely, that’s how exciting it was. She was also able to spend the weekend at home with Ariana instead of at school, which was also pretty cool. Mackenzie didn’t know if the school would let her, but apparently, they didn’t mind that her mum pulled her out for the weekend. She guessed it didn’t really matter since she didn’t have classes on Saturdays or Sundays. Once the ceremony ended, Mackenzie stood up and scrunched up her nose when Ari mentioned food. How am I supposed to eat without messing up my lip gloss? she wondered, eying the table of food and – CAKE! There was a ton of it. Okay, my lips can get messed up for that! The eleven year old’s mouth began to water at the thought of digging into that beautiful, purple pastry. She just hoped she would be able to get a corner piece; those were the best!
Let 'em have their time, sit back and let 'em shine Let 'em rise and rise, 'cause one day they're gonna fall Let 'em soak in the sun, sit back and let 'em have their fun Let 'em spill their guts, 'cause one day they're gonna slip on 'em
Kenji could not help but be really happy for his two friends, it must be worth the wait and it helped that it took a long while before they get married. Also, it was really cool for them to set the wedding venue in a National Park, and that was just so awesome. Pretty creative if you asked him. The flower girl really reminded him of his really younger cousin Clara, except Clara was going to turn eleven now. Good to know there were some still-familiar faces around the corner, such as Ada and Niall. Now that the ceremony was over, Kenji was glad that they can have food now.
Getting some food, the animagus spotted a certain yearmate and decided to approach him. He couldn't help but feel happy that hey look, his friend was here after a long time. "Heeeey, Niall" Kenji greeted with a small smile on his face, as he removed his shades, "It's been a while, mate. What's up? Were you teary-eyed when those two exchanged vows? Because I kinda was" That wasn't exactly true, as he wasn't exactly that emotional to begin with. While he wasn't really looking for anyone romantically, he did wondered what was like to be in such an event like this.
Let 'em play their songs, let 'em say what's right and wrong Let 'em do their thing 'cause they'll never be you and me We got our ownstyle, we got a way of livinglife If they can't get down, well we don't needthem around
Well I could be angry, but you're notworth the fight[And besides, I'm moving on] [I've counted to ten and I'm feeling alright]And besides, I'm moving on

Niall felt a sense of pride at seeing his two friends finally take their vows and come together as the family he was sure they would always be. Then again, despite his own shortcomings in the area, he was somewhat of a romantic. Seeing Rose and Nell snuggled up in their common room had become such a normal experience for him it hadn't even been a question of if they'd stay together but when the actual wedding would commence. Granted, he had thought it'd be a lot sooner than this, they even had children!, but he was happy and proud of them nonetheless. He watched ceremony with only a little sniffles here or there and clapped wholeheartedly along with the rest as they presented themselves as wives before going over to the field where the actual reception was being held. He hadn't been too surprised when he had found out the location of the wedding though he had been by the actual sight of it. Or rather, he was surprised by just how beautiful it looked, even in the night. He could see why Rose had ultimately went along with it even though she still would've probably said yes if her wife had proposed an actual zoo. It was going to be so weird to actually say "her wife" than just "her gf" or "girlfriend"! It shouldn't but there was just something so different and final about the word "wife." A younger more naive version of himself (and yes it frightened him as well to consider that there was such a version) would probably be wistfully thinking of his own wedding and when he'd be getting a wife.
Year 2034 Niall however was in a totally different thinking space. It wasn't that he wouldn't want a wife but now he wasn't sure if he even wanted one because he wanted one, or because he was supposed to want one. He was sure Emmet would say the latter; his brother was sure his parents had fully brainwashed him from day one about what was normal and abnormal and if the two of them had known he was currently attending a lesbian wedding alongside people of various bloodlines they might've just died right there on the spot. Alas, he'd just have to settle for the tossing and turning they're ultimately doing in their graves. If they had any. He never really asked what Emmet had done with their remains seeing as they never had an actual funeral. They had a memorial service for the media and the fellows in the Wizengamot but really there hadn't been anything in those urns except dirt from the garden. He was pretty sure that was a very bad sign that he didn't care where his parents were buried but at the moment he couldn't really care. His two best friends were finally married and there was cake to eat.
Niall had just gotten a piece and a bottle of butterbeer when he was greeted by Kenji and answered his grin with one of his own. It was sort of rare he actually saw one of his male yearmates, or rather one of his Hufflepuff male yearmates. He did internally roll his eyes at the other's shade accessory; it was an evening wedding he just couldn't see the point. He gave a short chuckle and nod at his question of his own emotions at seeing their friends getting married remembering the damp pocket square in his pocket. "Just a bit yeah, and it has been a while hasn't it? I'm not really doing much, just getting my practice off the ground. Working a lot, normal stuff really. What about you? I thought you were still gallivanting across the globe or something." Niall asked happily curious.
