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!

Her face softened, and the curled hand against his neck extended out to rest easy against his skin. It felt soft against her palm, and that helped calm her beating heart.

They had talked vaguely about the future before she supposed, but never as outright as he was now. Did it terrify her? Perhaps, but not in a way that it made her feel that she should pull or shy away from him. Glenda loved Vinny, he made her feel complete and whole, he was a good father-figure to Tristan, and he was a good person that always did what he thought was right. What was there to be afraid of? She had known him her whole life save for a quiet ten in the beginning. They worked well together, she felt at peace with him-- but all of that she knew already.

So while Glenda supposed she had never truly thought about the future of her and Vinny seriously, it dawned on her that without realizing it, she had quietly come to the same conclusion as him long ago. Was that why instead of growing cold, she felt her heart turn warm? She smiled, and felt blessed under the clear Portuguese sky.

They really would have to visit Portugal more now.

"I love you," Gleny said simply, dropping her shoulders to stand relaxed. "And I would be lying if I didn't say I feel the same."

She stopped speaking briefly, but only to raise up on the balls of her feet to hold him close in an affectionate embrace. "It's only you," she repeated, finding his words too fitting to edit in any way. Glenda pressed her lips to the side of his face, and then moved to rest her chin over his shoulder.

The weight the wedding had laid on his shoulders lifted considerably. Vinny felt a great peace take its place and he put his arms around Gleny to hold her close to him. While they fit so perfectly together, there was always a trepidation about moving things forward with their relationship. Vinny had been engaged, but Gleny had been married, she had already made that giant leap with someone she thought would be with her forever. So the worry that--he would be able to fill that role had always sat like a stone in his gut. Now, it wouldn't have to.

The air was warm and the sky was beautiful. The music filtered out through the walls of the barn and Vinny recognized the tune. He smiled and dropped his chin to rest on the top of her head. It used to make him laugh, how much shorter she was than him, but now it seemed like she was made for his arms. He laughed lightly at his thought; he was being quite the dramatic and poet, wasn’t he? That’s what she did to him, he’d never have a better muse.

Vinny took in a breath, amazed at the scene they’d created. He couldn’t think of a more beautiful place to have this conversation.

“I’ve got a ring for you back home,” he revealed. He’d had it for a long time, too, purchased not long after their first official date. Vinny had not realized until this moment that he was a bit of a romantic, but again, that was what Gleny did to him. “Nice and shiny, if you’ll have it. Have me, I suppose.”
