FILL: The 12 Almost-Disasters of the Barlow-McEachin Wedding (Part 1)beatlemaniac9June 30 2011, 04:41:46 UTC
It was really a good thing that there was a minister out there who was willing to come to Terminal City to hold a wedding ceremony. Because it was a lot safer for one normal, human man to come in than for the whole wedding party, most of which were transgenic, to leave the sector.
Normal and a few of the Jam Pony workers had taken the day off to come see Original Cindy get married to her lover, Asha. Aside from a few poor jokes on Alec and Sketchy’s part, they’d been received rather well by the transgenic community. They were two of only four average citizens to live in TC, and yet they fit in well.
After a year of living in the fence, despite the fact that they could now leave at any time (thank goodness for politics, and the end of the siege), they finally decided to go on a date. Another year later, and they’re waiting to stand on the altar at noon.
12: Max near had a panic attack when she saw the state of Joshua’s suit. He was supposed to have gotten it pressed, which Logan was supposed to have helped with. But there it was, on the hook, and in desperate need of some tlc.
Joshua was going to be walking Asha down the isle, and he needed to look good.
Max, the ever-attentive wedding planner and best-boo (like the best man…but OC liked this title better), grabbed the suit, and ran it (literally) at her top speed to Logan’s apartment.
“Logan!” She pounded on the door before barging in, “I need for you to fix Joshua’s suit and get it back to him!”
A rather startled Logan took it from her and nodded, “Consider it done.”
She left, running back to the old, abandoned church they were holding the ceremony.
11: Mole was supposed to be handling the food. But when Max entered the kitchen, he looked pissed, and more importantly, wasn’t cooking.
“What the hell?”
“I’d be cooking right now if they hadn’t stopped the food truck at the main gate on the ordinaries’ side. I sent Dalton to check on it about a half hour ago, and the kid hasn’t been back.” Mole blew out a puff of smoke as Max departed.
This time she hopped on her motorcycle and headed to the gate.

10: Bessie, Logan’s trusty Aztek, was on loan to the soon-to-be-married couple for their honeymoon. However, when Max went to pull it up to the back of the makeshift reception hall, it wouldn’t start.
“Damnit!” Max cursed, slamming the car door behind her as she exited the vehicle.
She quickly pulled her cell phone from her pocket and dialed the number for Fixit’s apartment.
“Hello?” the young transgenic asked.
“Hey, it’s Max. Do you have time to do some repair work on Logan’s SUV this morning?”
“Yeah, sure. Where is it?”
“Outside of Logan’s place. It won’t start.”
“Alright, I’m on my way.”
“I’ve got to get back, so I’ll leave the keys on the hood. Thanks!” She hung up, and rushed back to the church.
9: Gem called to tell Max that her daughter had come down with a cold and couldn’t be the flower girl.
Great.
Where the hell else could Max find a kid to do it on such short notice?
Luckily, Max remembered that Logan’s niece was in town, and so she called Betty to see if they could come to a wedding.
Problem solved.
8: Asha’s bouquet had yet to arrive, and it should have by now. Max borrowed some flowers from Sketchy’s garden to make a replacement, should the original never show.
7: For some reason, the friggin’ birds decided that this would be the perfect day to perch in the windowsills of the church, including the larger window that was towards the top.
Max had to resort to scaling the building to shoo them away.
6: The bouquet finally arrived, but the flowers were the wrong color. After consulting with Asha, it was decided that the makeshift bouquet Max made was better. At least it didn’t clash with the décor.
5: Sketchy, God knows why, decided that it would be acceptable to ride his bike inside the church to deliver the marriage documentation to Max. He knocked over the alter, which Max had to fix. Apologizing profusely, Sketchy left the premises.

4: The lights in the church went out. Max once again called on Fixit.
It still meant that Max had to leave Terminal City to get a spare part. When she returned, it was less than an hour to the ceremony.
3: Mole nearly dropped the cake. Max caught it.
2. Logan broke his glasses after he arrived at the ceremony. Max ran all the way to his apartment (as she had left her motorcycle at the reception hall) to get his spares.
And, she made it back just in time to change and grab the rings.
1: Original Cindy paced the floor of her little room, slinky dress clinging in all the right ways, as she waited to go stand on the altar.
“Well you look a fine mess.” Max teased, “You okay?”
“Yeah, Original Cindy’s just a little nervous, boo.”
“Hey,” Max soothed, stopping her best friend with hands to her shoulders, massaging away the stress, “It’s gonna go fine. I got this!”
“I know that. It’s just…what if I trip or somethin’?”
“I’ll catch you. You’re worrying about nothing.” Max assured.
Taking a deep breath, Original Cindy said, “Okay, let’s get out there. I’m getting married today.”

My favourite part is Max being the Best-Boo. I loved all of the little horrible problems that Max had to deal with, and how each of them was solved easily enough. OC was one of my favourite characters and, well, I'm happy the actual wedding part was perfect :)
