"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person."
– Mignon McLaughlin
Senobia had mulled over the thoughts, words, and actions that had led her up to this moment, causing her to frown at some of them. The short halfling stood in front of the mirror in the house that she had been staying in, her cousin being kind enough to let her use the home while she had been gone. The house was a simple one, a cabin off on the countryside of Regalia. Her eyes would glance over the reflection in the mirror that she stood in front of, her mind instantly going to think of any imperfections.
It had taken for them to find someone who would marry them considering what Ruban and now even herself was.
The halfling would be jerked from her thoughts as the hands of her cousin landed on her shoulder, the Daen words coming out before she reiterated in common for the mutt who doesn't understand the language.
"Seno, dear, you look lovely."Catalina would coo out, clearly pleased with her work considering she had helped get her ready.
"Si, mi alma did well with getting you ready, Seno."Sera would add on as she stepped up to her other side, causing the halfling in the middle to look between the two family members at her sides. The shorter one would let out a tut of displeasure, Catalina reaching to adjust Seno's long hair which had remained untamed.
"You were suppose to handle your hair on your own but it appears to be not your thoughts right now."The blonde would step forward to begin dealing with the halfling's matted mess of hair considering she had just stood there, threading her fingers through her hair with worry. As her cousin began to fuss over her hair, taking a brush through it as her taller cousin met Seno's gaze in the mirror with a mirthful grin being sent her way before she spoke.
"Seno, don't be over thinking like usual. You look fine, despite the red eyes, but you look lovely nonetheless. Everything will be fine."Seraphina spoke in an attempt to ease her cousin's worry as Seno's gaze dropped from the mirror itself to the floor as she had ended with just messing with the dress she wore, now unable to play with her hair.
"I can't help but think of all the possible ways it could go terribly--"
"Si si, as you've gone over a million times before, Seno."Cora interrupted her, having made her way into the room where the others were fretting.
Wife. An odd yet now endearing term to the mutt as he thought it over, he had never thought himself to be one to get married but now look at him. He was nervous, the fidgeting easily told the tale which some of the others had easily noticed. More specifically Poppy and Tali had noticed when they had entered the house, having been invited to the small celebration which they were more than happy to assist with. Poppy had been carrying a bouquet of flowers- more specifically poppies with her love of her own genteel humor -but at the moment Poppy and Tali took a moment to share a glance between the two of them. After a faint moment of hesitation they approached the jittery and pacing mutt of a man.
¨You're going to end up pacing a hole into the floor if ya continue to walk so much.¨ Poppy spoke up as she approached Ruban causing him to whirl around and in a usual act of his defiant manner was quick to retort.
¨I'll pace a hole into the ground if I want to--¨
¨Aye but then wouldnt Seno be upset with you ruining her family's home floor?¨ Tali intervened, a slight humor in her tone which was quickly shown with the grin that dawned on her features. On the other hand Ruban was taken back slightly, his heart twinging slightly at the thought of Seno being upset, more so on the fact it was their wedding day and didn't want her to be unhappy in the slightest. The clear and utter panic appearing on his face for a brief moment causing Poppy to chime in before Ruban could give himself a panic attack.
¨I doubt Miss Seno could really ever be upset with him though. She has a soft spot for you, ya know.¨
¨Aye, I´d hope she does if she's marrying him.¨Sera spoke as she came down the stairs causing the trio to look at the rather tall Avanthar made her appearance known. She would make her way down and over to the trio as she shoved her hands into her pocket, still wearing her normal wear instead of wearing a dress like most of the women did. Sera would give a grin to the group before giving a pointed look to Ruban as she spoke in a comforting yet slightly protective tone.
"Seno is fretting over this just as much as you, one of you need to get your act together before you melt into a puddle of mush and worry. My cousin wouldn't be marrying you if she really didn't like you so consider yourself lucky, Ruban." She'd state before continuing on her way to the back area behind the house, where they were having the late wedding. Ruban would have paused, watching the tall Avanthar leave before taking a deep breath and running his hands down his face and leaning back against the wall. Poppy and Tali however had began to chuckle in amusement to each other as they stood side by side before Poppy made her way over to Ruban.
"Come on Ruban, don't worry about anything today- Er night I mean—"
"Aye! Everything will go smoothly."
Poppy and Tali stated in their best comforting ways to the slowly calming mutt before turning on their way to search out the area to find where the wedding was going to take place.
The reception had gone out smoothly after some minor yelling and rambunctious behavior from a couple of the guests and were smoothly on their way to being a married couple for the first time. Seeing as that the large portion of it was over the small reception afterwards was well underway. Several people were having fun and dancing along to the musical entertainment. Tali and Poppy had decided to dance together for the fun of it with some others having merriment with them and dancing. Marie had stuck around the back through it all, the url women having been invited and had grumbled the whole time. Despite all this most of the group had stayed in good moods and generally having a good time. As Senobia and Ruban had begun to dance with the others, all jitters and other nervousness set aside as they were lost in their own world, Azra had somehow managed to drag Tali and Poppy off to raid the dessert table.
"Why are you guys taking so much? Couldn't you have waited until after the party to steal some snacks?" She'd ask her too friends as she plopped her hands onto her hips, raising a brow as her gaze raked over the two. The two who in fact didn't stop, continuing with their rampant dessert thievery until Cora decided to try her luck with shooing the two away from the table and elsewhere.
While those two had decided to go pillage more of the food tables, Poppy stashing away as much food into her satchel as possible and Azra attempting to just carry it around with her before giving up to also put away into a satchel she had brought and entirely forgot about until that point. Cora had decided to go get her gift for Seno while Tali had went off to try and find the two dessert stealing bandits.
OOC Notes:
So for those who want a quick summary of the story instead of reading it Ruban and Seno got married.
