Tavis Lighter: A Tuxedo Black Chevy Camaro Z28 pulled into the gates and drove slowly down the driveway to park as close to the main doors as it was possible to get. A young man who looked exactly like Ian got out of the car and headed up the steps, to the staff he said. "I'm looking for Alex Vipond" The staff looked at him oddly::
Alex Vipond: Mostly because they thought he was already inside. Photo shoot was over, they'd done pictures down by the pond, or is it a lake? What's the difference? Anywhere, pictures were taken there, along the trails, amongst the trees, at the gazebo, in the stables, in front of the stables, with the horses, with the mini little petting zoo they had going on there... And all the while Alex and Adrienne had to remind each other that they had things to do before their wedding night. Like, finish the photo shoot, have dinner, dance, eat cake... When they finally emerged from having the last of the portraits taken, they headed for the back yard where the reception was set up.
Wrinkled Black: The DJ was keeping an eye out for them and made sure to announce the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Vipond, which just had Adrienne grinning from ear to ear. Dinner was served; Sarah got her duck, Ki had a few extra racks of ribs to go
Tavis Lighter: :: and so one of the staff told the young man that Alex and Bride were probably in the back yard where the reception was set up. and the man headed around the house...garnering another odd look, since Ian made himself at home in the main house and woulda gone thru to the back yard. ::
Wrinkled Black: along with his dinner, and those with liquid diets were given discreet, burlap wrapped bottles with contents to fit their needs. (For the vamps XD s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fc/78/dc/fc78dcdb256ebad694987d91ee4238c4.jpg
LyricaI Shadows: In all her green and black lace splendor, Terri was standing with one of those beautifully burlap wrapped bottles. Icy blues watched for the most part as she drank slowly, just nursing the bottle. (done)
Tavis Lighter: ::the man rounded the corner, and paused to look for his target. Must be where the tent pavilion thing was.. and he headed in that direction::
Alex Vipond: Alex was grinning too. There was no denying it, he loved the sound of that. Mr. and Mrs. His arm around Adrienne, they made their way through the crowd, thanking people as they went for the congratulations. Jokes were bandied about, mostly the 'it's about time' jokes and the, glad you didn't wait until Grayson graduated type. Laughing, Alex nodded and looked around, spotting Ian and he lifted a hand... only to stop. Drawing in a breath, he shook his head. "That's not Ian."
IMythYou: Isa ate pretty much whatever was put in front of her and enjoyed every bite. She spent the majority of the time so far playing games with Sarah and the other teens and scoping out the other guests. Possibly plotting and scheming. Maybe. Probably. –d
Tavis Lighter: ::he'd met Alex once or twice ( I think) and seeing the man with the woman on his arm, headed in that direction::
Melanie Mishoe: Just so long as they don't do anything that makes a neighbor call the police. She had a hell of a time getting a special event permit. Let's not piss the neighbors off any further.
Wrinkled Black: With her arm around Alex's waist, she was so happy it was ridiculous. Everyone was greeted with the biggest smile, thanking them for coming. Looking up at Alex, she blinked, then followed his line of sight. "Do you think it might be his brother?"
Alex Vipond: Alex actually hadn't met any of Ian's family, but they were aware of the fact that he had a twin, and a few more siblings out and about. Hey, the cops only get called when Alex and Adrienne are having sex! Fortunately, here, the neighbors were a bit more spread out that Adrienne's former neighbor in Seattle. Alex would have sworn the woman's name was Kravitz.
Tavis Lighter: :: Tav made his way through the crowd, nodding and even grinning to those who called his brother's name mistakenly as he wended his way through the crowd to the couple. He apparently had seen a pic or two of Alex, when Ian sent him some cd'[s::
Alex Vipond: Alex gave Tavis a nod up, and then as the DJ announced the first dance, Alex rose, taking Adrienne's hand and leading her out onto the dance floor. Taking her in his arms, he smiled. "Are you ready for this?"
Wrinkled Black: Grinning up at Alex, she nodded and took his hand, standing. Since she went with flats rather than heels, she had together up her dress a little on the way out to the dance floor, but hey.. it let her boogie down comfortably!
Alex Vipond: As the music began, Alex smiled at her, head dipping, a gentle kiss dropped to her lips, and as Etta started to sing, he began to sweep her around the floor.
Wrinkled Black: The kiss returned, Adrienne smiled and muttered against his lips. "We did it. We finally did it!" Yeah, she'll poke fun at them too.
Alex Vipond: Nuzzling her nose with his own, he chuckled and then when the music changed up, he went from Waltz to swing, spinning her out and back, and back and lip syncing to the song.
Tavis Lighter: ::he stood to the side as he waited for the dance to end, glancing around periodically, looking for his other half-so to speak::
Wrinkled Black: Adrienne laughed as the music was changed up, dancing along while trying not to trip in her dress. Damn good thing she didn't get anything too constrictive or too big and poofy. Especially when the music switched again. Hell yes she whipped out some pro NSync choreography! Besides, it was during their heyday that she met first met Alex, it fit!
Alex Vipond: It totally fit, and Alex fell into the dance steps with her, and even broke out a few MJ moves, until he took her hand, drew her back in, hands sliding up her sides, and drawing her arms up, before he spun and dropped her over his knee, as the mash up ended with the last bit of At Last ringing out.
Wrinkled Black: Well, Isa, it was no Beyonce, but Adrienne thought they rocked it! Not that she expected him to drop her, but she still held onto him tight when he dipped her. Once the song was done, she threw a triumphant arm in the air. "Woot!!"
Tavis Lighter: ::he clapped for the couple then approached them:: Hi. Im here on behalf of Ian, my brother.
Alex Vipond: Wrapping his arm around her, he threw the other one up as well, and then gave a bow, before leading her back to their table, meeting Tavis in the middle. "Where is Ian?" Alex offered his hand out to Tavis. "Good to finally meet you by the way."
Tavis Lighter: ::a grin to them, he wouldnt have missed it, and took his hand in a clasp and hand shake:: I dont know. I assume he;'s here somewhere. Im here as a delivery boy. :: held out a set of keys:: Here's your wedding gift. We hope you like it.
Alex Vipond: "Probably monitoring the monitors." Chuckling, he nodded and then lifted a brow as the set of keys was handed off. "No kidding."
Wrinkled Black: Curling her arm around her husband's (!!) waist, she smiled at Tavis and held her hand out to him as well. "Really nice to meet you.. Tavis, right?" Watching the hand off, she blinked. "What..are those for?"
Tavis Lighter: Yeah and there are a few cases of wine in the trunk as well.. ::he smiled to Adrienne, Ian had never told him about the supe community, so he was uninitiated, and thought they were regular.. well regular for very wealthy and famous people anyway:: "The wine's from the rest of the family/"
Alex Vipond: "That is very gracious." Alex chuckled. "We should go pop the trunk." Because wine! "So you came up from California?"
Tavis Lighter: Yes. Not a bad drive, Ian picked your gift up there, and we worked on it a bitl... Glad it was ready in time.
Wrinkled Black: Leaning over to take a look at the key, Adrienne's eyes widened when she realized it was car keys. "Oh my God.. We gotta find Ian." She leaned on her tippy toes to look over heads, as if that would let her find him right away.
Alex Vipond: "Well mix, mingle, eat." People had started to dance, now that the floor had been broken in and the DJ was spinning tracks. He spotted Terri and waved, and then there was Isa over there on her phone. "That one is old enough," he motioned to Terri, "that one is not." he motioned to Isa, and then clapped Tavis on the back.
IMythYou: ...wasn't on her phone! –d
Alex Vipond: Check her temp!
LyricaI Shadows: Please don't be trying to do Terri any unneeded favors!
Ian Lighter: ::and Ian was indeed in the Carriage House, watching the monitors, he'd seen the car arrive, then got distracted with something for a few moments..Tav nodded to Alex with thanks for pointing out who was under age,m and headed first for the food::
Wrinkled Black: She watched Tavis go to mingle, then looked up at Alex with a laugh. "Did Ian seriously get us a car?" Would anyone miss them if they went to go check it out?
Ian Lighter: ::Ian left the Carriage House to head to the Camaro still parked in the front of the house..
Tavis Lighter: Tavis had a full plate and was having fun confusing people::
Alex Vipond: "Apparently so." Alex chuckled. "Soon as we can slip away for a few moments..." He glanced around, another chuckle given as he slipped his arm around her, a kiss dropped to her lips, the keys dropped down her bodice. "I'll be looking for those later, Mrs. Vipond."
Wrinkled Black: Her eyes widened as the keys fell down her front. "Alex!" Laughing, she shimmied a little. She was braless, so after a couple wiggles the keys fell down to the grass under her feet. Smirking, she scooped them up and tucked them in Alex's trouser pockets. "There aren't any secret pockets in there, dude.."
Alex Vipond: "Well now I'm even more interested in going after them.... the long way of course. Follow the trail, in its entirety."
Ian Lighter: :: Ian had to go out and about, it would be over 30 minutes before he could make his way to the back of the house, working with security at the gate, in the house then finally in the back, he too got odd looks since last anyone had seen "him" he had on different clothes::
Wrinkled Black: With a smirk, she gave him an elbow to his side. "Laaater..." The DJ was playing some good tunes and had most of the party on the dance floor, so she snagged Alex by the hand and started to drag him off to find the other Lighter twin. It didn't take long, though, since he was already on his way toward the tent. "Ian!" She waved at him to get his attention.
Ian Lighter: ::He heard his name and headed towards the A's:: Hi. Everything's going good, I think. No security problems, though I think an unapproved reporter tried to sneakl in.
Alex Vipond: "All reporters are unapproved. Was he or she shot on sight?" KIDDING! The smirk would say as much. "You know you can relax and enjoy yourself. And... thank you, Tavis told us about your gift, it's very thoughtful."
Ian Lighter: I hope you like it. :: seriously to the pair:: If not you can donate it to a charity. ::he looked over to Tavis happily eating and chatitng with a few girls.. :: My brother.. ::said wryly::
Alex Vipond: "Wait until they realize there's two of you. They'll go insane." Alex chuckled. "And I'm sure we'll like it."
Wrinkled Black: "Alex? Give away a good set of wheels, have you met the guy?" Laughing, she leaned to give Ian a hug. "Thank you so much, for everything Ian."
Ian Lighter: ::He returned the hug with a smile:: You're welcome. You two are good people. ::he grinned at Alex's comment:: Oh yeah there's that twin mystique thing..
IMythYou: Well Isa was certainly checking out the twins. Just sayin! –d
Alex Vipond: Chuckling, Alex glanced around, caught that look from Isa sent Ian and Tavis's way, and chuckled once more. "Yeah, Callie will kill me."
Ian Lighter: ::he chuckled:: Well Im going to say hi to my brother, Y'all enjoy yourselves. ::he leaned to talk with Alex:: Got Grayson in bed, guard in hall, in his room and patrolling under his windows.. :: Ian had given thought about how unique Grayson was, how impossible, and wondered if there were any groups like vampre who might want to dissect him to see how he happened, so more could happen.. it was a concern, and one he wouldnt immediately share with Adrienne, because it would upset her. and it might just be paranoid,..but seriously what better time for an abduction than a party when everyone was distracted and there were lots of people on the grounds and in the house..::
LyricaI Shadows: That thought would even make Terri shiver... and she was usually numb! (done)
Wrinkled Black: It's true, it would upset her--did from time to time already, actually, so she thoroughly appreciated his attention to details in regards to their son. It didn't surprise her that Gray would've conked out so early, it's been a busy day!
Alex Vipond: And that was one of the many reasons why Ian was absolutely invaluable as a security man. "Thank you, Ian." Alex clapped him on the back as he moved off to join his brother and then he looked at Adrienne, his arm slipping aroundher and dropped a kiss to her temple.
Ian Lighter: ::Ian would have hugged his brother, but for the plate of food Tav held. As soon as Tav set the plate down the two were doing the man-hug thing, with alot of back thumping::
Wrinkled Black: She leaned into him, eyes closing briefly for the kiss before she was returning it, only this time to his lips. "C'mon, let's go mingle." If they loitered around dark areas off the path, they were bound to break their wedding night promise. Taking Alex's hand in hers, she led him back to the party. Besides, she saw and wanted to say hi to.. "Terri!" Waving, she made her way over.
LyricaI Shadows: She was lurking, as usual, in shadow... it was getting dark enough... and nursing her third or fourth bottle of sustenance when hearing her name called. Icy blues shifted in the direction of Adrienne and Alex and smiled a bit. "Well, my plan to come and go unseen went terribly wrong." She joked to the two of them, finally stepping out of the shadow and into some light to meet them half way. "Congratulations.." (done)
Wrinkled Black: "Har har." Laughing, she grabbed Terri into a one-armed hug. One-armed because she didn't want to let go of Alex. Sorry, not sorry. "Thank you! I'm so glad you were able to make it!"
Alex Vipond: Alex hugged her up on the other side. GROUP HUG! "Glad you could make it."
LyricaI Shadows: Ok, one hug she could handle. A group hug, however, made her almost cringe a bit. She just was not in her comfortable/usual clothing so things felt... off. "Wouldn't have missed it." Terri replied with a smile to them both, returning the hugs. "Sorry I couldn't stop in to see you guys sooner. Did you get my roses?" She asked - yeah, she'd been sneaky in how she delivered them. (done)
Alex Vipond: "Ah, yes..." Alex nodded. Now it made sense, sort of. "You know you could have knocked on the door, we would have answered."
Wrinkled Black: "Yeah, silly. We've got a nine month old, it's not like we're out partying every night." Snickering. Okay, one night a week. Maybe two if they're feeling really wild.
LyricaI Shadows: She shrugged a bit, taking a drink from her bottle again. "It had been awhile and it was late. If the little one was sleeping, I didn't want to risk waking him." (done)
Alex Vipond: And their going out pretty much consisted of heading to the diner or Stix. OH and Century Link Field if there was a home game for the 'Hawks. "We're usually up."
Ian Lighter: :: Ian was showing Tav around, introducing him to some people he knew and the security team. the men on the ground under Grayson's windows were supes. just in case, they cost alot more but it took supes to guard against supes Tav still didnt know a thing about the supe community and Ian wanted it that way::
Wrinkled Black: Valid point, if the doorbell woke Gray up from a nap, Adrienne might just cut a bitch. "What were you doing in Seattle, just passing through?"
Alex Vipond: Ah, the blush of innocence. Hey, he didn't know what he was missing. YOu didn't know the good life until you had a woman who could rock a mini skirt, or a fur suit, naturally.
Wrinkled Black: Bordering kinky, babe.. Like, creepy kinky.
Alex Vipond: Hey, sometimes you want to get laid, sometimes you want to pet pussy.
Wrinkled Black: OY.
LyricaI Shadows: "Well, no, I've been staying in my house awhile." She replied. "Things in Mexico got a little... dangerous... so I left." She left it vague like that - the less she divulged, the better. Not that she had to worry about being hunted or anything. (done)
Alex Vipond: "Mexico generally is not good for us. Although usually I'm fine, if I'm just there for work."
Wrinkled Black: Adrienne blinked up at Alex. "Why is Mexico generally not good?" Had she missed something that she ought to be aware of before they go to Cozumel next week?
Alex Vipond: "Well, the last time I was there, it was to pull Mars and Leland out of trouble. And then Rissy and Sebastian ended up in jail there... All because Sebastian was looking for the donkey show."
Wrinkled Black: Her mouth hung open just slightly as she thought about that. "Yeeeah...no donky shows on our honeymoon." A light jab was given to his side.
Alex Vipond: "No...." He shook his head. "It's not me, it's my crazy friends."
Wrinkled Black: More mingling was done and they said goodnight to Nan--apparently she was telling some story about flower power Adrienne in the 60's so it was probably a good thing. Taking Alex's hand, she dragged him back to the dance floor so they could get in a slow dance or two. They had a handful of chaperones on the floor, so no funny business. Sigh.
Alex Vipond: Dancing slow with Adrienne in his arms... couldn't beat that. At least, not with clothes on. They were being have! "So, Mrs. Vipond, you just got married, now what are you going to do?"
Wrinkled Black: With her arms curled over her husband's shoulders, she was almost lazy in her dancing. More of a slow sway, and she hadn't even touched any alcohol yet. "Well, I do believe the standard answer is 'I'm going to Disneyland!' But I think I like the idea of a Disney cruise better." How old were they again?
Alex Vipond: Twelve? Or so everyone kept telling him. "You gotta say it with more childlike glee... I'm going on a Disney Cruise!" Chuckling, Alex dropped a kiss to her hair, singing a little snatch of song against the softness of it as he did so. "These are the moments, these are the times, let's make the best out of our lives..."
Wrinkled Black: Because what would an Alex Vipond wedding be without some Camino Palmero playing? His childlike glee had her chuckling, settling her head against his chest; another reason not to wear heels. Though at this point, had she been wearing them, they would've been kicked off by now. "I love you, you goof ball."
Alex Vipond: "I love you too." He held her close, swaying with the music, just happy that the day had been such a good one, that the weather had held, and that he hadn't puked on the minister. He chuckled at the thought. "I was so nervous, earlier and now it's like, I have no idea why. The day was perfect."
Wrinkled Black: Tipping her head back, she smiled warmly at him. "I was, too. I couldn't even touch the lunch Nan brought me." She chuckled and lifted her shoulders in a shrug. "It's one of the most important days of our lives, how could we not be jittery? I'm sure the nerves were just our excitement."
Ian Lighter: ::and he worked hard to make sure it kept on being perfect.. Tav was going to be a big help. He showed him the carriage house and the monitors. The security company would have 24 hour shifts
Alex Vipond: "Oh, I know it was excitement but I was also worried that I'd trip or puke or fall flat on my face. So there was that."
Wrinkled Black: "Okay, well, the puking would've sucked but the tripping would probably be funny..." With that adorable beaming grin at him, he couldn't get too irritated with her, right?
Alex Vipond: Chuckling, Alex shook his head. "Your empathy is overwhelming." He dropped a kiss to her lips, and then looked around. "I think people are getting tired." Many had wandered off.
Wrinkled Black: "Because we throw a kickass party." Okay, more specifically, in this case, Mel threw a kickass party. "Should we say our goodbyes?" There may have been a small part of her wanting to ask that question since they exchanged rings.
Alex Vipond: "I think so." he smiled and nodded. "I think we're safe." He took her by the hand and headed back across the dance floor. Adrienne wasn't the only one who had been wanting to flee the scene since their vows, but they had guests and well, this was one of those things that only happened once.
Wrinkled Black: Along the way, they said their farewells and suffered all the jibes about what they were headed off to do. She supposed the 'checking on the baby' excuse was pretty much wasted in this situation. By this time the house was closed off to guests, the security detail directing folks to the bathroom trailer set up near the barn. Family only beyond this point.
