CHARACTERS: Murphy Pendleton and Anne Cunningham... and you.
LOCATION: The chapel in the Oxygen Gardens.
WARNINGS: Wedding stuff. Casual cursing. Consumption of alcohol. You know, for kids!
SUMMARY: Silent Hill veterans just tying the literal knot, no big d or anything.
NOTES: Backdated to the 17th, after this thing went up!

The Tranquility. Home of crazy, bad juju, and evidently love.

The ceremony itself is a casual one. There are rings, of course -- and an actual knot tied between the bride and groom, a ye olde tradition Murphy was rather fond of, himself. But if you're looking for extravagance, you'll not find it here.

What you will find, however, is a lot of booze, procured from the kitchens of the sixth deck and -- is that moonshine? Yes it is.

And food. There's a lot of food. All cooked by the groom (not the bride, so don't worry). You'll find a wide range of traditional Irish dishes, most which will include stuff handpicked from the gardens.

Feel free to prod the newlyweds. Especially Murphy, because yeah.

When Anne catches sight of Firo, she leaves Murphy just long enough to make her way over to him, a bigger smile on her face than there's been there in recent history. She's clearly very happy at the moment; it's showing through every gesture, expression, and movement. "Firo. I'm happy you came." And she really, really is. More than he could possibly imagine. In the time they've known each other, he's become like a son to her. Having him here on the most important day of her life is very important to her.

Closing the gap between them without warning, she just gives him a hug. She knows he hasn't always been crazy about her spontaneous displays of affection, but fuck it all, it's her wedding day and he needs a hug.

He beams to see her smiling like that. "And I'm happy you--" Oh god. That sure is a hug.

Well, if there's one day he supposes he can let her get away with it, it's today. So instead of trying to wiggle away like he normally would, he holds still and even pats her elbow to return the gesture. That's basically like a hug, right? "So, uh, congratulations!"

It's nice that he doesn't pull away, and so Anne just squeezes him tight for a few moments before letting him go. And yes Firo, she does appreciate the awkward elbow pat. It's as close to a hug as she's expecting from him, and she really doesn't mind.

"Thanks," she's still beaming when she lets him go, and such a big smile looks out of place on her normally serious face. "I'm glad this finally happened. So many things got in the way for so long I was starting to think I was cursed or something." She's kidding but no, really, they've had the worst of luck.

He laughs and smiles back at her. "It's probably bad luck to talk about curses at a wedding. But I think I might believe you if you said you were." Yeah, that's reassuring.

"All that matters is it did happen, right?" If you love each other, it doesn't matter how long you have to wait.

"Pretty surde everything I do is bad luck as it is. It's probably nothing to tempt fate." Wow, they're really the best at kidding.

Another smile, and Anne nods. "You're right. I may not be the most romantic person alive but I can at least realize that Murphy is worth waiting for." A warm smile ahd then she realizes just how cheesy that sounds and dismisses it with a slightly awkward chuckle.

He has to laugh at her reply. It may not be the nicest topic to joke about, but he still enjoys it.

His smile softens. "Yeah. He seems like a pretty good guy." His own encounters with Murphy have been pretty pleasant, but, those aside, he trusts Anne's judgement to pick a winner.

"What was the deal with the knot? I thought that was just a figure a' speech."
