Saint Clements Castle; Portland, Connecticut, Saturday [ 08/08 ]. -- Reception.

[perfectmissyork]

The main event was finished (and not even...too much of a disaster...right?) and now it was time to fully celebrate the happy new couple, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Cooper.

With a lot of drinks, a lot of food, some dancing and hopefully nothing weird. The reception rooms of the Saint Clements were impeccably decorated and welcoming, and it was sure to be

Wedding Party Table -- 08/08.

The big, long, important table at the front of the hall where the newlyweds and their wedding party sit and people bang their silverware on glasses to get the couple to kiss at really inappropriate food-in-their-mouths moments.

There were not words enough for how relieved Charlotte was that at least the caterer hadn't also gotten piss-ass drunk and left her to have nothing but a Klingon meal to go with her Klingon wedding.

And champagne. Lots and lots of champagne and wine and then there would be Cosmos, oh yes, there would.

For now, though, eating and talking and reveling in being Mrs. Dale Cooper while trying to not get any food on her dress.

"Here's to you Mrs. Cooper," Dale said raising a small personal toast to her. "Did you think our wedding day would be so interesting?"

Charlotte tried to give Dale a little glare as she lifted her glass in response, but, really, she couldn't put any heat at all behind it. The bottom line was that, even with how things turned out, it ended so, so well. And it was going to be impossible to really be upset about anything being called Mrs. Cooper.

"I was hoping it wouldn't be," she said, "but I can't really complain."

Dale leaned over to give his wife a kiss on the cheek. "Years from now we'll be able to laugh about it. And perhaps our kids will get a kick out of the wedding video."

Not if she found it and burning it first...

But Charlotte smiled as she leaned into the kiss, and, really, even just mentioning kids made her want to get this reception over so they could go and try to make some, even if it was probably hopeless.

"It certainly was...memorable," she said. "And, I promise, that's the only time I'll ever put a blade to your neck, Dale."

"Happy words you always want to hear coming from your bride," Dale joked.
