Guests of the PENNIFOLDS!
She could honestly say that she had not been happier in her life. Today, it marked the official beginning to the rest of her days, and Graciela Pennifold was grateful for all that God had brought her. Edward was a literal dream come true, Zacharias was growing into such a smart, charismatic young man, and her friends and family loved their little family enough to venture out to her homeland of Portugal to celebrate their wedding.

Their wedding! It had been a long time coming, but they were here, she and Edward were now husband and wife. The Pennifolds! She would never get tired of it, never. As she fluttered happily between the tables of guests and managing to not trip on the skirt of her dress, Graciela's smile could not falter. Switching from English, to Portuguese, to even a little Spanish, Graciela's mind was a whirl of joy and excitement. There was dancing, twirling, laughing, and kisses on top of kisses.

Graciela had never been happier.

After a particularly big twirl out of her brother's arms, Graciela's trajectory sent her straight to Edward. Her husband. She laughed in excitement at the sight of him and of course greeted him with a kiss, which was accompanied by hoots and hollers and clinking champagne glasses.

"Casamento fica bem em você," she murmured, having been lost in her native tongue. She hung her arms lazily over his shoulders and Graciela scrunched her nose, "Marriage looks very good on you, meu amor.

ooc; tentative guest list!

Edward's face brightened, a feat rather significant as it had been quite bright all day and night. "It does?" he asked, and looked down at his own front. He Knew he looked fancy, as well-made robes tended to do that, but Edward was glad to know that his new wife thought his new title sat well on his shoulders.

A wife! He and Graciela had finally married! The fact had not really fully settled in yet, he suspected, as it all felt no different. Edward had taken solace in the fact that his and Graciela's life was not going to change much from this because they had already been living it. It was nice to have their friends and family here to celebrate them, but Edward knew something like a piece of parchment hidden away somewhere in the Ministry or the like wasn't going to effect his growing love for Graciela. No, she sustained that all on her own. Though, he supposed, having a party was very nice. He did like receiving gifts and seeing Graciela so happy.

"That is good to know," Edward responded seriously, nodding a bit as well. "I was worried I would be ill-suited."

He thought for a moment, and then responded once his hands rested around her waist, "It looks even better on you. You look so happy."

She did not think she could truly ever express to Edward how lovely he made her feel. From the inside out, Graciela always felt wonderful in his arms, in his presence. That was what love was, this was the kind of love she tried to put into words in her novels. She wrote love stories that were vastly different from her own, but she hoped to convey the sensation of feeling whole with that person you were meant to be with. Graciela felt complete with Edward, as if there were no questions left to be unanswered. Her life had taken the path less traveled, but it had led her straight to him.

"I am," she said, eyes bright and filled with adoration, "and thankful for you."

Edward may not feel the difference between their life yesterday compared to today, but Graciela finally felt at peace. To promise to be faithful, to be there for him until death do they part, to have him vow the same in front of her entire family, their families, in front of God, well. Well. Graciela thanked magic for keeping her makeup so perfectly in tact, because she had been overwhelmed with emotion.

"I am so lucky to have found you, Edward," she said honestly, feeling her eyes well up once more. Not many people got amazing the second chance that she did.

His face ticked at the recognition of sadness in Graciela's face, and quickly Edward felt flustered. She should not be crying on her wedding day, she should be happy for this was---

His thoughts faltered for a moment as he remembered while this was the first time he was and planned to marry, Graciela had thought the same thing not too long ago and now here she was again. It was more complex than he had initially assumed seconds ago, a fact that he, admittedly, sometimes forgot. Edward hadn't much pressed Graciela for details from her previous marriage, thinking it unwise to ask for information and stories that most certainly did not concern him. When she felt it necessary, he knew she would tell him whatever relevant. But for now, Edward was content with only looking at the future.

"No," he responded clearly, raising his chin slightly. Taking his hands, he cupped both sides of Graciela's face. The only kind of tears that should be falling down her face today would be those of gut-splitting laughter from his excellent toast to his wife (that Derek had so graciously helped to spruce up). Edward knew it wasn't traditional for the groom to make a toast in all the mix of toasting and dinner but.... he had thought it appropriate.

"I am lucky to have finally found you," he established, a content smile forming on his face. "I am much less capable of being social, you have worked a miracle on me." Alright, perhaps he was plagiarizing his future self already, but it was the truth.
