In spite of herself and knowing that what she was doing was best, Katara couldn't help but be a little bit nervous. She'd always thought that one day she would get married .. but not like this. Not without her friends next to her, or even Sokka to walk her down the aisle. In the hotel's defense, it had provided a lovely banquet hall for her and

The suit they left him was pretty simple to put on and soon he was ready. He wondered if anyone in the hotel would show or if they would be going at it alone. Either way, he was marrying Katara no matter what and as he stood at the front of the banquet hall waiting, he knew he would be happy.

She stepped out of the corner finally, making her way to the front before she stopped a few feet back from him, waiting to see how he responded to seeing her.

Zuko did notice her. How could he not? He could spot his Mother in any crowd, either big or small. What he wasn't prepared for was the flood of emotion that hit him. He didn't balk at the sudden sting of tears though. His Father and sister weren't here to mock him or degrade him in any way, so he let them fall.
"Mama..."
To hell with his world for the moment and all the stresses of the war. To hell with his Father, his Sister, the Avatar, the Nations. At this point all that mattered to him was what was happening then and now.
He was getting married and his Mother was there.

"Yes," she replied, more confidently than she felt. "I think the nerves are mostly because of these heels. I'm not great at walking in them."

"Oh my, you look lovely. Did the Hotel randomly put you in that, or...?"
((ooc: Misa just had an encounter with a Sokka, which happens to still be going on over at the office kink thread. ;) This should be interesting, hmm? :D ))

"No, I chose it. I'm getting married today," she explained, hiding her nervousness behind another warm smile. "I'm waiting out here to see if my brother will show up."
ooc: Oh fun! 8D

"Oh, congratulations! How exciting!"
At the mention of a brother, hums quietly, her finger resting on her lips as she thinks a moment, peering at the young girl.
"I met a man the other day who looked similar to you. Is your brother's name Sokka?"
Thinking of Sokka, what they had done just a few days prior has her blushing softly. Hopefully she didn't notices, she knew that could be an uncomfortable subject among relatives, what with everything that goes on in this place.

"Yes! He's here?" Her voice is slightly desperate, but the look on her face says that she knows EXACTLY how she met Sokka and is sort of impressed. It was the hotel, after all; it was hard for anyone to stay chaste. As long as they didn't talk about it outright (ew, she didn't want to know!), she'd overlook it.
"I wonder if he'll come to the wedding..."

Smoothing her dress with slightly shaking hands, she nodded at his question. "Yes. I was hoping my brother would show up .. but ah, it seems like the hotel doesn't have him, or he's not been allowed to come. Yet. He's hopeless, so I'm guessing that if he does come, he'll be late," she replied cheerfully, tipping her head to the side.
"Did you decide to come, or were you brought here?"
