Emerald Moon Manor
Hosting the Potter and Fey Wedding
Martha looked over the music room where the ceremony was to be held once last time and nodded with statisfaction. The chairs were in perfect rows of six and from the dais where the the white arch covered in white lilies was set up all the way back to the doors. Neither Belle nor Andrian had been too sure how many guests would show up, so Martha had taken percautions.
One the ends of the isles were more lilies mixed with black roses, Martha had tried to talk her mistress out of black but the girl had refused and not that she actually saw the mixture she had to admit it was rather pretty.
Black velvet ran down the middle of the isles and black and silver lace were strung above making beautiful banners. Which again she had to admit did not look bad at all.
She turned to head to her mistress's chambers where the bride and her girls were getting ready for the wedding. She did not need to check the food or drinks knowing perfectly well they were taken care of, Gram, Belle's Grandmother had taken care of that.
Nor did she need to take another look at the Grand Ballroom where the reception was being held; Gramps, Scott, Belle's older brother and Vincet the butler had been in charge there and out of fear of ruining the big day had gone over everything with a fine tooth comb.
She knew that the white marble floors were polished, that the colums has the same black and silver lace wrapped around them to string above in more banners with white tinkling lights strung among them. The windows were sparkling clean and the crystal chandalier was glowing with radiance.
More lily and rose arrangments were scattered around the room filling the air with their sweet fragrances. And the tables were perfectly arranged with the black table clothes with silver lace trim with matches chair covers and little candle lilys in the center were untouched and left just the way they were supposed to be.
So she knocked on Belle's door and walked in. The girl's had yet to arrive and Belle had all ready bathed and now sat in a white plush robe while the stylist she had hired did her long ebony hair up into the curly updo Gram had said would match Belle rather well. Gram was sitting by watching while she did some sewing.
"Hello Martha, I expect everything is well if you have finally joined us?" Belle asked.
"Yes milady, all is perfect. Do we know when everyone will begin arriving?"
"Shortly I would expect. Are Andrian and the boys getting ready?"
"I am sure they are. Vincet is in charge of them."
"Are you sure I can't just see him for a moment?" Belle asked.
Gram chuckled, "No, I know it is hard to stay away but it will be worth it when you see eachother for the first time while walking down the isle."
Belle sighed, "Fine, but did you have to take him away yesterday?"
"Yes, the day before is the groom's chance with his friends and you with yours." Gram answered.
"Then everyone had better get here quickly, I don't know how much longer I can stand being away."
The older women laughed. "You will have plenty of time for that my dear." Gram answered.
Belle sighed once more and then sat back and let the stylist do her thing as she waited for the girls to get there.
