Catlin wandered towards the gift table and stood in line to wait for her gift of a gold ornaite time turner for the loverly lady and a set of crystal drink tumblers for the minister to be checked over

Warren watched Alexa go with a silly grin on his face. Hope you know what you're getting into again, old man. We've been here before, remember? He pushed the thoughts to the back of his head, refusing to listen to it.

Warren watched as a woman walked up, his silly grin still on his face. "Hello." He tapped his wand against the gift. Notes...nice binding. More jewelry. He nodded and picked up the box and set his behind him with the others. He turned back, still with the grin. "All right, you may now go on to the guest book and pensieve. Enjoy the ceremony."

Warren watched as another lady walked up, set her gift on the table and walk off. I swear. No manners. He sighed and tapped the box with his wand. Watch...Jewelry. Picking up the box he set it down on the table behind him.

"Next!" Warren called, as a line was starting up again. He saw another woman walk up. Where are all the men? "Hello." He tapped the box with his wand. [/i]Another time turner and a set of tumblers. Hope the minister is a drinking man.[/i] He smiled at the woman and placed the gift behind him with the others. "There all done. You may now go to the pensieve and sign the guest book."

Winter came down, almost bouncing.
"D'you guys check my gift before I leave it?" He asked slowly, in truth, all he'd thought to bring was a muggle novel, that he happened to find very good.

Warren watched as a young energetic man came bouncing toward the table. "Yes we do. Just set it on the table and I'll have a look."

Joshua walked calmly to the gift table. Huh...who needs that many gifts?...The Minister...he thought, before landing it on the table. "Here is my present. I presume you have to check it, so go ahead" he said, in a bored tone. Really, he couldn't wait to get on the dance floor and watch people embarrass themselves. Inside the present was a hard box. Inside the box, was a miniature model of the solar system, spinning around the sun.

"M'kay!" Winter said, placing the purple rapped book on the table, "Can I go now?" He asked, looking down at his off black shoes.

Warren watched as another man walked up looking about as bored as he felt. "Thanks." He tapped his wand against the gift. Model solar system. "Nice. You're free to go on to the guest book and pensieve now. Enjoy the ceremony." He picked up the box and set it behind him. Warren sat down with a sigh, thinking about Alexa.

"Thank you" Joshua said curtly to the Auror. The man looked ...sad. A little. Okay, a lot. Still, the man should be on duty! Besides the fact he was. What if someone broke through the door and the man had fallen asleep! Shame...But Joshua didn't have the power to order this man around, so he speculated the man a little, before heading off to the pensive and guest book.

A slow grin spread on his face at the thought of Alexa. He looked up and saw the man still standing there and heard him say thank you. "You're welcome." He watched as the man looked at him and left. Odd. He shrugged and waited for the next person to approach.

A note flew towards Warren and landed on the table in front of him. He picked it up to read it, hoping it was from Alexa. It wasn't. He stood up and ran to the security checkpoint. What is going on up there?

Stacey-Ann wandered to the gift table to put her gift in for the happy couple she was very surprised by the amount of gifts there were

Isabella walked to the gift table and set down a box wrapped with purple and black paper. Inside sits crystal goblets. She smiled and hoped the Minister and Ms. Belle like their gift.

Steven put down some flowers and some chocolate down on the table. He looked around. All these gifts made his gift look cheap, they wern't by his standars anyway, cheap.

Gabriella walked up to the gift table and was surprised by the amount of gifts there. Her gift consisted of two boxes; the first one, wrapped in purple, contained a delicate silver goblin made necklace set with amtheysts and diamonds. The second, wrapped in black, contained a beautiful, detailed painting of a lake at sunset, framed in gold. Inside was a card saying
'Dear Minister and Ms. Belle
Wishing you happiness for this day the rest of your lives together.
Sincerely,
Gabriella Doucette
Examinations Authority'
She waited in line so someone would examine her gift and she could go inside.

Madison sat the nicely wrapped gift on the table as the guard told her to do. She rather hoped that the wedding couple to be would be able to use the elegant dark cherry stained candle sticks along with the freshly scented candles that her brother, Caleum, told her to get. She was new to the Minstiry and didn't know very many people just yet, especially the Minister himself. She waited patiently for the so called inspection of her gift as her feet were starting to hurt in the choice of shoes that she wore. Her brother would definitely hear about the chaos at the wedding.

ooc: Warren's left for the Security check point but I'll make a quick post so she doesn't hurt her feet more Everyone else just place the gifts on the table and you may leave we will inspect them later.

Warren smiled as the lady did as he asked and tapped the box with his wand. Candlesticks and Candles. I'm sure they'll be used. "All right ma'am, you may go on to the guest book and pensieve. Enjoy the ceremony." Warren placed the gift on the table behind him with the others.

Gabriella put her gift on the table and left it to be inspected. She moved on towards the room where the guestbook and the pensieve were kept.

Teal eyed his medium-sized rectangular gift and looking back to Lorraine with a grin, it seemed she wasn't having great luck with the security guards either. "Oh absolutely." he said in response to the wedding anticipation, it being quite obvious that he was joking. The wedding ceremony would be long, but did like receptions quite well. Just had to make it through the next hour or so without falling asleep. Taking a look at his watch, the wedding was going to begin shortly, and the seats were probably becoming scarce.

Teal smiled as Lorraine complimented his appearance, "Thanks." he said with a appreciative nod, he probably looked pretty plain at work. It was always nice to be complimented, even nicer coming from Lorraine rather than the fawning young girls at work. He smiled slightly to himself, thinking of such things.

As Lorraine mentioned that she could take it herself, "Alright then." Teal shrugged and walked with her over to the table. Once she mentioned memory, Teal laughed at the thought. He wasn't exactly great at writing sentimental notes to people he liked. Actually, she was quite horrible at it. "A memory eh? This should be interesting." he said with a laugh, searching for a pen inside one of his pockets. Teal set his gift on the table, thinking a moment for what he was going to write for his 'memory' or whatever. Looking to Lorraine, then to gift, he suddenly grew curious. "So, what did you get them?" he asked with a questioning glance, she probably way overdid him. But then again, Teal wasn't the best at picking out gifts either... he had just picked something out of his Department that would be useful to the Minister and his wife starting out their new life together. It was some of the new Pest control, a new line that hadn't been released on the markets yet. Teal himself had helped add some key ingredients into it, it really would work like a charm.

Lorraine smiled at his completely joking attitude at the wedding ceremony anticipation. Ceremonies were long and boring generally, but being this was for the minister it was no exception. And the reception involved food to make her fat and dancing, which she hadn't done in over twenty years. She'd probably fall flat on her face if she tried now.

"You're most welcome," she replied noting his nod. He probably had the young girls in his department fawning over him all the time. It was kind of surprising that a handsome wizard such as Teal was still single, which made her wonder what he was waiting for. Not like he was getting any younger.

As she approached the gift table, she noted that it was already stocked with many gifts. There had to be at least 70 presents which made her feel slightly self-conscious about her own. Not like it was anything super special that would stand out. "The leave a memory is at the next station, before we can take our seats," she told him knowingly. Men can be so clueless sometimes. She took a quick glance at her watch and realized how little time they had before the ceremony was due to begin. Walking in late was not an option; the minister or his bride would probably have her head.

She couldn't help but feel more self-conscious when Teal's eyes had apparently been on her gift. "What?" she asked in alarm at his question. "It's a surprise," she told him, a mysterious sparkle in her eyes. She was thankful for the heels which brought her height so she didn't have to stretch too much for his ear. Leaning in, she whispered into his ear, "Exquisite diamond earrings for Belle, a book on wizard parenting, and a one year's supply of floo powder."

Taking a step back as she approached one of the guards at the gift table she set her purple box with black ribbon on the table, before turning to look at Teal. "Why? What did you get them?" she asked, curiosity peeking.

Rebecca smoothly glided over to the gift table, looking at all the gifts, she left a rather small purple and black package "Well, i'm sure she will enjoy her purple quill anyway" Rebecca murmered to herself as she turned towards the seating area

Gliding into the room where the ceremony was being held, Evaline left Lance to go find seats so she could drop off her gift and not carry it around. Even though they were silver spoons the box was getting heavy.

Walking up to the gift table she put her box down and began signing a note to attatch to it so they would know who its from.

Quote:

For the new married couple.
May you have many joyous years together.
Enjoy the silver spoons with your after noon tea.

Yours Truely,
Evaline Bass

And with leaving her gift and note on the table, she walked back toward the seats to find Lance and watch the ceremony. Oh what a grand day this will be. Not.

Blair walked gracefully over to the enormous gift table. She was slightly surprised by its vastness, but then remembered that this was the Minister's wedding and there was probably a multitude of people that were invited.

She found an open place to put her present. She was very proud of her wrapping job. the paper was striped with two shades of purple and she had used a black ribbon that had gold stitching on the edges to tie it up. She thought that it looked very elegant.

She was also very proud of her gift. She was sure that someone wouldn't get the same thing as her. It was a very tasteful mirrored decor. She was tempted to buy two when she bought it, so she had one herself. It unfortunate that her budget couldn't afford it however. She placed the gift on the table and spotted a wizard behind it. "Is this alright?" she asked.

Nicoli reached the Gift Table, waiting for the others to arrive. Soon after he would send perhaps on of the later ones on a little patrol. But of course he'd have to be specific. He doesn't want anyone stepping on someone's toes. He wasn't going to let his head roll on this. He couldn't let it. He'd only just got the job after all. Nicoli faced the most likely place of break-in: a small crevice between the security check point and one of the smaller bathrooms. That, would be his way in, provided he didn't apparate there.

Apha arrived at the gift table a minute or so after Nicoli, arms crossed over her chest as she took in the gifts the Minister and Clara Belle were getting. She rolled her eyes, and shook her head as she approached Nicoli, her eyes darting around quickly, before resting on the man again, and following the direction he was facing.

'Do you zink zere's going to be trouble from Rae and Branxton?' she asked, turning her eyes back to Nicoli. She still couldn't understand why the Minister didn't want his own family at his wedding. She knew that, if she had any siblings and got married, they'd be the first on her list.

DeJa'n was only a few strides behind Apha, looking around at all the different faces, trying to see anything out of the ordinary.

She arrived at the Gift table in time to hear Apha ask the question about Rae and Branxton. DeJa'n hoped they wouldn't be of any trouble, especially at this wedding. She glanced around again inconspicuously, ears open to Nicoli's answer.

Cris wandered over to the gift table, where a huge pile of gifts were stacked. Man, there were a lot of workers for the Ministry. Either that or the couples had a whole lot of relatives joining the party as well.

He carefully placed his gift wrapped with purple wrapping paper and a topped with a black silk bow (it looked more like a funeral gift to him, but no one needed to know that) on the table. It didn't look any different, and definitely nothing special (Psht. Picture frames. Go figure.), so it blended right in. Good. He took a little bit longer, surveying the wrapped gifts, and soon proceeded to the seats, where he supposed Bella and Shylo were at.
