the wedding - open rp post

[wereokay]

The big day is finally here and Betty shifts between being extremely nervous one minute, and completely calm the next. Guests are arriving already, and after the short ceremony there is going to be a comfortable reception.

Even though the approach to this wedding has been somewhat casual, there is no mistaking the investment in time and effort. It's an outdoor wedding, and the gazebo couldn't be decorated any further, flowers and ribbons are basically everywhere.

If you hurry, you can catch the bride to wish her luck!

Without actually questioning Darcy's motivations, Jane obediently downs almost a full glass of champagne. She's no big drinker, even at the best of times, but Jane is often swayed by the company she keeps.

"We've still got some time." Everyone here is pretty excited, and with good reason. Dr Ross was well respected in this university, and they were all happy to see her finally get a big day.

"...I barely know anyone here, Darcy." Some of Jane's problem with getting laid was that she wasn't the best in social situations. Hiding away and burying herself in her work was a great defense against the need for human companionship.

Hell, the last time she'd ever even kissed someone, it was work related.

Darcy grins when Jane obediently takes a sip, though her eyes widen when she doesn't actually stop until the glass is almost empty. She gives a small sigh of amusement and admiration before taking a large drink of her own glass to catch up.

"Keep chugging like that and we won't need much," Darcy says, reaching down to adjust her dress. The cleavage is ample, but tasteful - at least in Darcy's opinion - but the dress has an annoying habit of shifting on her.

She glances up at Jane looking over the crowd and takes a step closer, her shoulder brushing hers. "Sure you do," Darcy says. "These people are your people." She glances around the crowd, narrowing in on a good looking doctorate looking type. "There. That guy."

She pushes Jane towards him. "Go talk theorems. Work your way up to the Big Bang."
