Eden and Ransom were married on a Friday evening at the end of June.
The ceremony was an intimate and poignant affair held in a small clearing on Eden's property, which they both now called home. Tiny lanterns hung from trees surrounding the clearing, adding an ethereal atmosphere to the gathering. Regal floral displays flanked Eden and Ransom as they said their I Do's before their loved ones.
Both of them got misty-eyed when they read their vows, but it was only in their small audience that any tears fell.
After they'd been pronounced husband and wife, they attended a reception at their newest, co-owned business venture, a 1940's-styled dance hall they had called Chandlers". The venue and club, which had been in the works for months, was finally open, but tonight its doors only welcomed friends and family who had come to help the bride and groom celebrate their big day.
The dance hall was decorated with World War II-era d"cor, which was softened and offset by more floral displays in the same colors used in the ceremony. An old-fashioned wet bar and an elegant buffet, featuring a wide selection of meats, vegetables, and more, were set up along the edges of the hall, leaving room for the dance floor.
When the time came for their first dance as a married couple, Eden and Ransom swayed to Etta James" classic, "At Last." It was the only pre-recorded song that would play all evening; the rest of the music was provided by a live band who kept the dance floor hopping all night long with other jazz standards and swing favorites.
After their dance ended, they broke off to dance with their guests, occasionally gravitating together again, usually during the breaths between songs.
Later, during dinner, an instigator in the crowd tapped their wine glass with a fork, which then resulted in everyone else doing the same, demanding to see another kiss from the happy couple. Laughing, Eden and Ransom came together for that kiss"but one kiss had never been enough for the two of them, and Ransom soon folded Eden into his arms and kissed the hell out of her again.
As the applause from that moment died down, someone (a rather tipsy redhead) thought it a bright idea to get on the mic and answer a question posed by several guests: how and when had Ransom proposed"
"They were both naked on a beach in Fiji last November, when Ransom popped the question," the redhead announced with a laugh.
No one who knew the couple well was all that surprised, but everyone was vastly amused, even the couple, themselves"and they didn't seem even a bit sheepish over the revelation, either.
Much later, after the meal had been eaten, and the cake had been cut, and the bouquet had been tossed, the bride and groom snuck away from their party, hand-in-hand, ready to head back to that same beach in Fiji and get their honeymoon underway.
