Hot_Lips stood at the bay window of her second story suite so graciously given by The_Civilian, owner of 'The Portchartrain Lakeshore Resort' in New Orleans, the host of the happiest event taking place this very day. She had spent the morning fretting around to make sure everything was perfect and  she couldn’t remember the amount of times her matron of honor, Immortal, grabbed her arm to drag her away from all the coming and going of hired help.

“Leave it to the professionals”…she’d gently scold…”You’ll see, everything will be perfect.”

And now, moments before the ceremony, dressed in her flowing white wedding dress over looking at the grounds by the lake, she could see Immortal was right. Twelve rows of white chairs were lined perfectly on each side of the red rolled out carpet with white ribbon on the back of each one. White lilies lined the aisle leading to the altar, where Father Morano would be waiting to wed Hot_Lips  and CorbinRussell, the charismatic head of Philly.

Feeling a presence coming to  her side, Hot_Lips smiled knowing Immortal was contemplating the very sight she was admiring. Suddenly she gasps as she reaches out to her friends hand and Immortal follows her gaze to the Duesenberg convertible coming up the driveway. “He’s here” she whispers.

Both women turn around to the sound of Civs tapping  cane on the recently varnished hardwood floor. Despite his age, at that moment Hot_Lips could see the kind face of the man who took her in as a child so long ago.

"It's time, my dear!"...proudly holding out his arm.

He led her down the marble circular staircase leading into the lobby to the huge double doors opening to the garden where the wedding planner anxiously stood. Immortal was whisked off to be led up the isle by a dashing young man to where Corbin waited next to his best man, Rizzle_Kicks.

Civ and Hot_Lips exchange a smile as the string quartet begin the wedding march and he walks her down the crimson carpet towards Corbin. As Civ places her hand in the grooms extended one, she couldn’t keep her eyes off her soon to be husband, so dashing in his tuxedo and the touch of his hand made her feel safe and never so loved. She couldn’t believe this day has  finally come, the day she becomes Mrs Corbin Russell in front of her friends and family and begin a new chapter in her…no, in their lives. She is brought out of her reverie by Corbins light tug of her hand and realises she had tuned out from sheer nervousness. Blushing deeply, she looks into her fiancés eyes mortified, but he smiles and  mouths the word ‘vows’ and winks reassuringly. She takes her cue…

“Corbin, never in my wildest dreams I believed I would ever meet someone like you. Not only you are my friend but also my one true love. I will laugh and cry with you, I will  love, honor and protect you, and I will lay down my life for you. I will be so proud to be called your wife until death do us part.”

Corbin  smiles as he holds Hot_Lips gaze and, with his usual comforting voice, he recites his own vows.

"Hot_Lips, our friendship blossomed into this amazing love that came unexpectedly into my life. You were my friend first, now I take you as my wife and  the future mother of my children. I promise to love, cherish and respect you. You will ALWAYS  feel safe as long as there is breath in my body. I will be so proud to be called your husband until death do us part."

They exchange rings and wait for those anticipated words from Father Morano..."You may kiss the bride!" The small and tender kiss seals the ceremony as guests rise from their seats and clap for the happy couple. As Corbin takes Hot_Lips hand and places it around his arm, he turns to the crowd.

"Laides and gentlemen, please join us out by the lake where a band is waiting and there is lobster for everyone!"

Kalliope strolls arm in arm with Clown, thinking to herself what a wonderful wedding it was. They walk up to the Happy couple and Kalliope says "Hot_Lips you look absolutely beautiful, Corbin you dont look too bad yourself, we would like to extend our congratulations and wish you a long and happy life together. May your children be beautiful and your life full of happy memories". Kalliope smiles and Clown leads her away. Kalliope secretly hopes that she catches the bouquet.

Clown looks over at CorbinRussell and says


Congrats, It's quite awesome to see you this happy. You have found such a beautiful wife. I hope the best for you, her, and your future children. The wedding was quite beautiful.

Clown extends his hand and shakes CorbinRussells

Well the wedding was beautiful but I think its time for me to find my date. I'm sure shes ready to do some dancing.

Benji and Lexi watch as Corbin and Hot Lips exchange vows Benji Squezzes Lexi to him, Benji had Knowen Both Corbin and Hot Lips When his Father worked in New Orleans as a child running around The Civilians Head Quarters he had met most of Civilians crew Hot Lips had been one of his favs there with her kind eyes and homemade treats.

Benji raises his glass to the newly Weds steals a glance at Lexi not being able to help himself he kisses her.

Legion smiles and leaves

"Sssstop the wedding!!"

Khione shouted on top of her lungs. All the guests look at the beautiful lady that walks slowly and elegantly at the aisle. She wears a long red backless gown emphasizing her tattoo on her left back shoulder . Her brown hair is pulled on top of her head, ringlets of silky hair falls around her angelic face.

Khione arched one perfect eyebrow to the people whispering around her. She scans the place where there are twelve rows of white chairs were lined perfectly on each side of the red rolled out carpet with white ribbon on the back of each one. White lilies lined the aisle leading to the altar and she sees the bride and groom perfectly match to each other .

She continues walking till she is at her designated place

"Ok you can continue with the wedding . " She smiled sweetly to all of them as if nothing happens . She then sits beside her handsome jaw dropping escort Cory-Chase . Chase just laugh at her antics and kisses her nose before he whispers to her 'You are so beautiful , but do you really have to make a grand entrance? " He scolded her. She just blushed prettily and waits for the wedding rites to finish .

After Corbin announce that the wedding is finish and the reception is to be done on a different place she stood up and congratulate both of them

"Congratulations Corbin and Hot_lips "

Cory has arrived to the wedding a little bit earlier then his date. He had found him a nice comfortable place in one of the rows in the middle. He was sipping on some champagne  in the corner of the row and doing his best to reserve a seat next to him. Cory heard the doors fly open behind him. He turned to see Khione bust into the room shouting as loud as she could. Cory couldn’t help but laugh to himself as he watched her confusion. He watched her scan the place as Cory raised his hand to show her where he was sitting at. She came down the row and took the seat next to him. All he could do was smile at her and compliment her on how beautiful she looked. He kissed her on the nose and whispered to her so that no one else could hear him. 

He sat there next to Khione for the ceremony and held her hand as they watched the happy couple give their vows. From time to time Cory would find himself tipping up his champagne glass and Khione would give him a sharp look and mouth to him, ‘Slow down’. Cory would laugh and see her smile at him and give her attention back to the wedding. He leaned in during the ceremony and whispered in her direction.

“ You make an entrance like that and I need to stop drinking, what a great combo we are today. If I keep this pace, it will be lights out for me by the time this celebration is over. That means you need to help me drink some.”

He handed Khione the glass as she smiled softly at him. She took a drink, but it was most likely just to please him. Cory gave her a kiss on the cheek as he took the glass back and took another drink from it. They continued to sit there hand and hand until the everything had calmed down and he made his way toward the bride and groom. Cory nodded to them and hook both of their hands.

“Congratulations to the both of you. It is a blessing to see two people so happy together. This is a day to truly remember and celebrate for you both. I wish you both the best of luck in the future and I know it will be a wonderful experience. I will be looking forward to see you two newlyweds grow together.”

Cory raised his glass to them and turned around and went back to where his date was. 

Mokongfreak hurriedly opens the door. She stood at the front and scans the place where there are twelve rows of white chairs lined perfectly on each side of the red rolled out carpet with white ribbon on the back of each one. White lilies lined the aisle leading to the altar. She saw the wonderful couple exchanging their vows. Then she remembered to look for the one who invited her in CorbinRussell-Hotlips Wedding.

"Khione Unnie! Oh, there you are!" She said as she walks happily towards the lady wearing a Red Backless Gown that suits her personality as the Heart Breaker.

"I guess I’m not that late." She whispers to Khione and sat beside her.

Her newly shaved eyebrow arch when she noticed that people are staring at her. She smirked at them as she knew that they were looking at her dress, a very unique wardrobe for a perfect occasion. She wears hot denim pants, long-sleeve jacket that is above her waist with a tube inside plus a thigh high boots, all in black colour. It really shows her perfect curve!

"Oh, I guess it’s their first time to see a Goddess of real beauty and sexiness." She said proudly

Khione just smirked and winked at her.

"Nice tattoo *wink*." She replied and smiled

The ceremony was over with the couple’s sealed kiss.

She stood up and congratulates the newly wed.

"Congratulations Corbin and Hotlips! Best Wishes!"

Khione laughs softly as Mokongfreak suddenly burst inside the place, she done it earlier and oh well beauty have its price she suppose . She leans on her handsome date Chase and looks at their hands intertwine . She took his glass of champagne and drinks it before he became too drunk . She remembers the last time he was drunk he was crawling out of the bar .

"Honey, slow down on your drink. There is still a reception to attend to...She scolded him lightly, he just smiled at her and kisses the back of her hand

"Did I tell you that you are so lovely today ." He said to Khione and grins widely when a blush crept to her face . He then notice Mokongfreak a little bit agitated at her seat , he knows that she wants to be at the reception and breath some fresh air .

After the exchange of vows Cory_Chase went to the couple and gives his best wishes to both of them and he went straight to her with a twinkle on his eyes .

Aaron manages to slip in just before the ceremony starts, in enough time to not be noticed, and find the young lady he was supposed to be attending with. Slipping into the seat next to her as she was looking the other way he taps her on the arm.

Great day for a wedding isn't it?

After receiving a somewhat scolding look for making her wait so long he just smiles and turns his attention to the altar.

Waiting patiently with the bottle of champagne hidden under his coat for the right moment, Aaron smiles when ceremony draws to a close and he joins the crowd throwing rice as the happy couple exits. He quickly run up to the front and slices the cork, and with a *POP* the champagne shoots from the bottle dousing Corbin and narrowly missing the bride. He chuckles a bit.

That's for taking so long mate, and congratulations. I'll see you at the reception.

Aaron winks and slips back into the crowd of people waiting to get pictures.

Civ looks around seeing everyone is enjoying themselves. Eating lobster... having drinks... dancing... it was a great day today. Satisfied with the way things turned out he noticed Hot_Lips and CorbinRussell standing ten feet away from him. He decides it was the right time to wish them both a happy life together. With his cane, he slowly makes him way towards the happy couple.

"Well, do you look happy together. It was a great ceremony and you too make a great couple. I wish you both a very happy life together, i would like you to have this as your wedding gift."

Civ hands them a thick enveloppe containing a considerable amount of cash. Civ puts his arm around CorbinRussell

"Mr. Russell... today, you have made me a very happy man. I have known Hot_Lips since she was a small child, she is like a daughter to me. And you have been in family long enough for me to know you well. She could not of found a better man."

Civ then stands on a chair and looks around at everyone, he grabs a fork and clings on his glass of champaign.

"Attention everyone... i would like us all to make a toast. To these two great people, this day is the greateset day of their lifes. Lets all have a drink in their honor and wish them a very happy life together!"

Civ raises his glass as he speaks and then he drinks down his champaign.

"Mr and Mrs Russell... salut!"

He hears the crowd repeat after him and notices everyone drinking down their drinks!

Kalliope and Clown raise their glasses....................... Salut!!!

It's been quite sometime since I witnessed a wedding in this country. Perhaps we all got too busy doing business. Finding time for love is really nice. All the best wishes to you Mr. and Mrs. Russell.

Benji smiled as Civ made his toast as memorys of his childhood spent at the resort returned, He tightened his arm around Lexi as the both lifted there glasses to the Toast

Salute!!

Benji glanced at Lexi smileing She looked stunning arm in arm he walked towards Civs table with her it had been a long time since he had seen Uncle Civ

A man of a stocky build slips silently in at the back of the building. Although he had said he would take the family reins for the day, Viagra could not miss one of his oldest friends, Corbin, finally taking the plunge. He quickly takes a look around and is impressed with the turn out today. It is such a refreshing feeling to attend such a joyous occassion in a world where life or death decisions are made daily. Viagra averts his gaze towards the front when he hears the vows being recited. After the vows had been said, it was with a slight tear that Viagra and Corbin embraced in a half handshake, half hug. After a split second, Viagra smiles, looks at Hot_Lips, looks back at Corbin and mouths 'well done'. Corbin chuckled and nodded as he went off to converse with the plethora of guests.

As always, Stilnox manages to arrive just when the climax has ended. It's his destiny, written by the fates long before he was born. He even nearly missed his birth, or so how the doctor explained when he got trapped in his mom's tummy. He looks towards the altar and can't help but smile when he saw Corbin kiss her bride.

"Lucky man!" He whispered then scans the guest for his friends. He then spots Khione, Cory.... and ... and.... and the reason why he attended the wedding. Well, of course it was to celebrate Corbin's wedding. But he also wanted to be with someone today. He walks towards them, managing to pluck several red roses adorning the whole place. He nods at Corey as he approaches them and smiles at Khione. And as he reaches them, he strokes the hair of the lady standing beside Khione.

"I'm sorry but I ran as fast as I could." And before the lady could utter a word, he hands her a bunch of roses....

"These are for you hun!" He tells MokongFreak sweetly.

He then turns towards the newly wed and claps vigorously!

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Corbin Russel!"

After picking out his finest charcoal grey suit he only wore for special occasions for what seemed like the entire morning, Desmond made his way to the resort for the ceremony. He took a seat in one of the back rows and watched with genuine appreciation and joy. He had never seen his employer and friend so happy. During the reception, he sought out the happy couple.

"Excuse me, sir? Ma'am?"

He handed over an envelope.

"Congratulations."

The couple checked the contents of the envelope and when they looked back up, Desmond had disappeared.

After walking the premises multiple times and speaking with nearly every guard there Popcorn finally takes his spot in the back watching over the crowd. It was a beautiful ceremony at a great place and he wouldn't have anything going wrong.

After the ceremony Popcorn heads to the newly weds and extends them a hand and an envelope.

"Congrats you two!!! I'm very happy for you both and I can see your both really happy also and thats a beatiful sight. I wish you guys the very best and may you be fortunate in everything you do and may you have many children! I trust you'll take great care of Hot_Lips Corbin, she is very dear to my family."

Popcorn nods at the couple and cheers "Salute" along with everyone else. He then goes on a search for as much lobster as he can eat.

After spending most of the evening before tearing apart her wardrobe and screaming

I swear I have nothing to wear!

and variations on the like over and over, until she had finally found a satisfactory outfit before running to the airport for the late night flight. On the morning of, Nicola spends hours tying her hair into a complicated knot and carefully making herself up, before slipping on her knee length silk dress - white, with a soft purple floral pattern, and jumping into a taxi to the resort. Taking her seat at the back of the room near Desmond, she found herself dabbing the occasional tear from her eye as she saw the happiness of her boss and mentor as he married the love of his life. After the ceremony, she hugs Corbin and his bride, congratulating them on their happiness and giving them her best wishes for the future, before handing Corbin an envelope and disappearing into the crowd, seeking Desmond before he soaked up too much champagne.

walks over to Corbin and extends his hand with an envelope in the other hand

"sir congratulations I wish you and the beautiful new bride all the best"

embraces Corbin's hand and hugs him with the other arm

"all the best sir...all the best"

as Corbin opens the envelope Vito walks away to get another drink
