Zach held Mandy's hand as he held the door for her and ushered her inside, keeping hold of her as he followed her in. "Looks nice, doesn't it?" he asked, slipping an arm round her waist and looking round. He saw Ernie but didn't see Elle yet and he wondered where she could be. Probably off getting dressed. Macmillan didn't look too green though, and Zach was impressed. He thought that he'd likely be terribly nervous when the time came for him.

He absently toyed with the diamond on Mandy's finger. "Um... where do we need to put the gifts?" he asked her, brushing his lips against hr forehead. "And we should find Elle too. I'd like to see her before she actually marries the prat." But he smiled to show he was teasing so she wouldn't fuss at him too much.

Mandy agreed. "It looks just lovely. Oh my, Ernie is simply dashing in that suit!" she added with a happy sigh.

Zach was dashing too, of course. Mandy plaited her fingers into his, smiling as she felt him stroke his fingers over her ring. The fine material of his suit jacket scratched gently against her bare arms. She'd considered dress robes for herself, but ended up buying a long silk lace dress, short-sleeved and off-the-shoulder in a lilac pink colour.

"There's probably set up a table to put gifts on?" she guessed, looking around. Zach held the wrapped present from them in his other hand. They'd shopped around for a wedding gift before Christmas. Zach had suggested a book called The Joys of Sex, claiming that he sensed Ernie might need the help and that he only had Eleanor's best interest in mind. Mandy was pretty sure he'd just been joking, but had firmly put her foot down all the same, informing him that she seriously doubted they needed the help ( ... )

Ernie saw Smith and Mandy enter. And it didn't even bother him that Smith was here. Goofy grin plastered to his face, he walked over to greet them.

"Mandy," he said, hugging her. "You look lovely." He extended his hand to Smith. "Zach. Thanks for coming."

"Congratulations on your big day, Ernie!" Mandy hugged Ernie back, standing back a step and looking at him with a big grin, partly because his own was so broad and contagious. "And you look so handsome. Wait till Elle sees you. How on earth do you manage to look not even a little bit nervous?"

"Thanks for having us," she added. "You know we wouldn't have missed it for the world. And this place ... wow, it is simply beautiful."

Ernie shrugged. "Nothing about which to be nervous." He resisted the urge to straighten his tie. Again. "You really think she'll like it?" he asked.

Glancing around at the lobby, he nodded. It was beautiful. The ceiling showed stars and a light snow. Despite the fact that he himself had had quite enough of snow, he remembered that was what Eleanor had requested when they'd attended the opening of Hammerside Fitness. "Well, Dean helped figure out how to set everything up. And with the ceiling charm. And I couldn't have done it without Ced and Henry."

I've heard people say that too much of anything is not good for you, baby. Oh no. But I don't know about that. There's many times that we've loved. We've shared love and made love, suddenly came pouring out of the loudspeakers. "Henry," he muttered. "If you'll excuse me..."
