Overall the wedding hadn’t taken a ton of preparations, or rather, more that by some miracle they were able to pull it all off in a relatively short amount of time. There had been so much that went into the planning, of both the ceremony and the reception afterwards. Thanks to the fact that for the first time in the last few years, Lucien had gotten the household up to a mostly full staff, they’d had all hands on deck for the planning.
They did their best to keep the ceremony relatively lowkey. After all, Lucien wasn’t about to make it a huge public spectacle when so much of that public hadn’t been there to help him in his time of need when the LaRues had attacked his family, killed most of them, held him and his sister captive and basically ruled over their estates for a few years. No, they only invited those near and dear, maybe some friends of those near and dear and Lucien’s work colleagues.
The ceremony wasn’t lengthy and the decorations tasteful but not overdone. Lucien had always been practical minded. Sure he had wealth from his family name, but he wasn’t one to live a lavish lifestyle just for the sake of living a lavish lifestyle. He would much rather use money to help people than just make himself more comfortable.
They had hand written vows that they read to each other. Lucien teared up trying to read his. He’d planned to have it memorised but in the moment he found himself speechless and had to rely on his notes. When the service was over, they left moved to the reception area where things livened up more. After the happy couple was announced, they made their way around, table to table, greeting guests as they went.
Lucien was starving and eager to get through this part of things, but appreciative of all their friends that had come out to help them celebrate this most happy of occasions. As they walked around, Lucien smiled and nodded and made small talk, at a brief break Lucien kissed his new wife’s cheek. Their child was back home with the nanny, and his mind kept wandering there. He was obviously too small and finicky to try and sit through the entire event, but he did find it hard to be away from their child.

I’m starving, I hope the food’s not all gone before we get there.He said with a grin, and then proceeded to greet the next guest.
