The organist is playing something wedding-ish, there are still open seats, and it's a good time to mingle with other people.

Momoko had insisted that Jaime dress up. Suit, tie, everything. He didn't actually know Barbara Gordon that well, but you didn't skip your ex-girlfriend's sister's wedding. And you especially didn't skip your current-girlfriend's best friend's sister's wedding.

So Jaime was trying not to fidget with his tie as he walked through the doors into the church and pauses, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the light.

Not even Fandom's laundry shenanigans could keep Jono from showing up to this thing, and he didn't even have to come with an apology and a pair of jogging bottoms thanks to Bob, today. Instead, the outfit of the day was a black suit with a deep red shirt, and he'd managed to dig up some wrappings that hadn't escaped yet specifically so that he wouldn't terrify the hell out of the locals.

If it was hitting him in the pit of the guts he didn't have that he'd be doing this himself in a few weeks, he was doing an excellent job of hiding it.

... In that he was looking maybe a little bit wide-eyed and dazed as he was taking in the decor. That was casual, right? Absolutely.

Raven knew that it was acceptable to wear black to a wedding (thank you, Google), but she was making an effort not to be so...stark.

She just hoped no one thought she was possessed.

Barbara did not have cold feet. She was not panicking. Neither did Dick.

They were both quietly freaking out that they didn't just go to the justice of the peace and hold a party later, though.

Helena was stalking around in black, looking ready to hurt anyone who tried to mess this up.

Dinah was in yellow, greeting people and bouncing, in between trying to talk Barbara off the ceiling.

Alfred was looking contented and calm as he handed out programs.

... Jason and Tim were nowhere to be seen. They were probably Up to Something.

[if you want to talk to Dinah or one of the bat-crew before the ceremony, this is the place to do it.]

Priestly snuck backstage to check in and make sure things were going smoothly. Because, you know, that was anywhere even remotely within his responsibilities as the best friend of one of the bridesmaids.

He was maybe just trying to get noticed ASAP in his swanky yellow suit.

"Ladies!" he greeted -- because bombastic greetings were totally part of sneaking around. "You look amazing! You too, Alfred."

Barbara was finally -- finally! - calm again, because seeing Dick at the end of the aisle had reminded her what this was all for. Her dad kissed her cheek as he let her go, then slipped into the family pew.

"I, Barbara Gordon, take thee, Richard Grayson...."

Commissioner Gordon and Alfred both looked teary-eyed.

For whatever chat you want to have during and after the ceremony.

If anybody pointed out that Jono looked a little bit shellshocked in the wake of watching a wedding, he would probably be torn between punching them and running away, or trying to wedge himself under one of the pews.

He'd probably be over the flailing by the time it was his own turn. Really.

Momoko looked about the church. So many people! She wondered how many were superheroes, of course, and how many others knew that they were in a building full of metas.

...

And let's be honest, she was also scouring the crowds for the TOTALLY INEVITABLE super-villain who was going to try to ruin this happy day for Ms Barbara. Try.

Party party party party! At the Gotham Grand!


[everything else! Cake, champagne, presents, and speeches from anyone who wants to put something in!]

"Ladies and gentleman," Helena called out.

"MRS. AND MR. BARBARA GORDON," Dinah chorused out with her, as Dick and Barbara entered the ballroom. They both looked too happy and preoccupied to register that until the laughter started.

"And that Dick guy!" Jason called out, to more giggling.

Golden champagne was flowing, the music was playing around the tables, and the cake had a a really appropriate and cute topper on it.

Because the world ending on Barbara's wedding day would be just too Batgang to be tolerated.

SP is the name of the game! I am around all day and tomorrow, so feel free to show up in whatever thread suits you! There will be no villain attacks, although there are a couple surprises, and if you want a specific non-Dinah person from Gotham, just ping me down here.

oooooh! Is there a garter toss or bouquet toss? Momoko has sleeves she will be rolling up to fight for those flowers...
