At the docks, then out to sea, Sunday

[vdistinctive]

The colors from the previous days were still holding, if maybe slightly more muted, Fandom's magic slowly fading but still managing to hang on for another day.

Seemed like a good omen as any for a wedding that Eliot still couldn't quite believe was happening.

Eliot's boat wasn't big enough for all their guests so they had "rented" (long story) a well-appointed yacht for the day. It was docked in the Port of Fandom, waiting for all the guests to board. Once the last person had crossed the gangplank, it sailed almost to the edge of the island, where blue water lapped with gray. Eliot's boat was already there, anchor down, Hardison in a tux, playing around with a sound system.

A few minutes to futz with mics and the speakers set up discreetly around the yacht came to life. "Testin'...Testin'..." Hardison murmured. Good. Everybody would be able to hear the ceremony on the second ship.

Looks like it was time to begin.

"I wouldn't have missed it for anything!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, all beaming smiles for Hardison. "Oh my gosh, a milkshake bar?????????? Really???????????????"

"It seemed like a good idea," Hardison admitted with a laugh. "Besides, it might convince my wife - " oh and what a broad smile that was " - not to just drink straight from the chocolate fountain."

"Would she really??????????" Nina asked, delightfully intrigued. "Well, like, I suppose it's her wedding too!!!!!!!!!! Why shouldn't she??????????"

Though Nina would maybe not have any of the fountain if Parker did so.

"Mostly because if she ends up havin' that much chocolate, we're gonna have to pry her off the ceiling with a crowbar," Hardison said with a fond chuckle. "After a certain amount, she starts to almost vibrate."

Nina giggled.

"Maaaaaaaaaaybe best to avoid that on, like, the wedding day!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she agreed. "Even though, like, it sounds like it would be amazing any other time????????????"
