((OoC - things to know about the hall - it's pretty much the same as most - several round tables where guests can find their seats by a placard with their name on them. The tables are split into two groups, with a dance floor set in the middle. A head table sits at the front of the room for the bridal party. Behind the head table are three candles - one in the middle, larger than the two, and two at the sides. Two family tables sit in front of those. Two of the family seats have a bouquet of flowers instead of just placards. If you read those placards they have the names "Martin Shale" and "Victoria Shale" on them. The DJ is off to the right side of the room as you face the head table, and a gift table is on the other side of the room across from it. There are some gifts on the table as well as a locked donation box with enveloped next to it for donations to the Orphan Project - details would have been sent in your invites!))
Emily laughed as they rode in the limosine to the reception hall. The entire bridal party sat in the vehicle, flutes of champagne as they toasted the happy couple. The invitations had provided directions to the reception venue so that while they were getting pictures, their guests could head to the reception. Emily, always the planner, had thought ahead as much as she could. The DJ was already set up, and had arrived before the guests. Games, toys, coloring books, and tablets had been provided so that children could be entertained. Wait staff was there providing hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Rachel had sent a message to the DJ that they would be there soon. The DJ would relay that to the guests so they could get settled.
The party lined up at the door to the reception all, the lights had been dimmed but not shut off. A spot light would show each couple of the bridal party as they were announced and entered the hall. Finally only the Best Man, Maid of Honor, Groom, and Bride remained. "Ladies and Gentlemen, your Best Man and Maid of Honor - Mr. Jeremy Areson and Ms. Rachel Shale! A few moments passed before the DJ continued. "And now, for the first time as a couple, Mr. Jared Vanders and Mrs. Emily Shale-Vanders!"
They entered arm's intertwined. Emily was all smiles. Upon reaching the table, they stopped. "You sure you want to do this?" Jared asked quietly.
"Why not, it will be fun!" Emily said, smiling.
The couple separted, Jared going to the right and Emily to the left. They held hands until the last moment, only releasing with reluctance despite the short amount of time the two would be separted. Emily took her spot by her candle and turned to face Jared at the other one. Since they had gotten together, Emily had changed. She had truly embraced her magic for the first time. They had practiced together often and she found a joy in this gift that she had never felt before. Emily smiled at Jared. He had described his magic to her. Whereas she surrendered to it, he likened it to wrestling a demon cobra to the ground. But one thing they knew. He would know when she held her power. That was their signal to begin. She surrendered to her power and embraced it.
