Sophie's was set up for a private wedding reception. A live band provided entertainment and fine cuisine was served to all in attendance. It was also where some of the dignitaries had a chance to chat a bit on the many issues in Sirius but for today, it was a day of celebration and not work so business was kept to a minimum.
The MC at the party was the bartender himself, Norman.
Before their friends, John Holliday presented his new wife with a gift, a gold wrap for her wedding set that was laced with diamonds and a matching necklace. Each of their bands had their names inscribed and the date of their union. With all present, Norman took the floor and gave a quick toast to both couples. He ended the toast with some old advice, "And always remember, never go to bed angry!"
Then, John stood in the center of the floor, his Ambassador's robes flowing around him as he held out his hands, "Mrs. Holliday. I would like this dance for the rest of my life." Taking his hands as she stepped up to him, she smiled and replied, "I would be most honored, Doctor." Then, the band began playing a song from an old Earth band, one that John had become very fond off through his research. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSj0jLcPrW8
Together, the swayed totally lost in each other. As the band played, he softly sung the words to her as he looked into her dampened smile. At one point of the song, he sang it slightly louder for her,
"I would die for you, Climb the highest mountain. Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do," he spoke.
Once it was finished, they just embraced and thanked the crowd. He then turned it over to Reggie and Moira,
"Your dance, you two."
