"They are bloody painful," she moaned. "But at least they look good."

Taking her wand back, she went to put it back in her purse. "I trust there'll be no need for that," Lola noted, dropping it into the cavernous bag. Looking around, she took in how beautiful the ceremony was. "It might be over the top, but this is quite some set up," she marvelled, eyeing every little detail. All the guests were like a sea of purple and black, it was really well done.

Walking away from the check-in into the wedding, she said to Nathan, "I'm sure the reception will be fun, I need a bit of a relaxing evening." She continued to fool around with her hair, which never quite seemed to fall properly. "Thanks. I'll see you around!" she added, thankful security didn't take ages. Finally done with that, she walked over to drop off her gift.
“Have fun.” He nodded and smiled at Lola as she tottered off towards the gift table. Even to the untrained eye, it was pretty obvious she wasn’t used to those heels.

Back to boring old work then. He wished Egypt would tear herself away from the reception and come and keep him company. Where in Merlin’s pants had all his colleagues got to now?

As he observed the people still in line and the security who regulated it, a thought occurred to him. "Wait a minute...do you have to spend the entire time out here? I'm not sure I'd have the patience for that."
“Thanks, mate.” Nathan said examining the wand closely before handing it back. He did a quick scan for the man’s name and department on the list before looking up at him as he asked about the wedding. “The ceremony’s over, I’m afraid. But you’re just in time for the reception.”

“There’s plenty of security on, we’re supposed to be rotating and patrolling the whole area. But… ”
He squinted and glanced around. “…my colleagues have all mysteriously disappeared.”

“All seems to be in order. You’re free to enter. Gift table’s there.” He pointed. "Guestbook - there.” Yada, yada, yada. This was getting extremely tedious now.
