Alexa walked in and scanned the area first. Everything seemed to be in order exept for the absolute obsession with purple. It was everywhere. Rolling her eyes she proceeded to the dance floor and looked around. Every detail had been paid attention to. Calming down because she knew she didn't have to worry about any outside threats. She found the table with her name on it and sat down. People were already starting to come in. Looking around she tried to find Warren-to no avail. Grimacing she went over to get a drink. Wondering exactly what Forrester's instructions were going to be.

Star wondered around looking for her seat. " They should have had a seating chart posted" she said out loud while moving from table to table looking for her seat.

Edie wandered into the Reception Hall and looked out over the scene in front of her. It was like someone got out a paint sprayer, filled it with purple paint and pulled the trigger, really hard! Edie thought she might see purple for the rest of her life after today. She looked around, wondering where she should sit.

She heard someone talk and looked over. She walked over to the woman and said, "Yeah a seating chart would be helpful." She held out her hand. "Edie Griffiths. Magical Accidents and Catastrophes."

"Andromeda Star Black, Magical Creatures, Beast Division in Werewolf Registry, You can just call me Star." Star said as she shook Edie's hand. What did they do, just invite every worker in the Ministry just to fill the seats?"

Warren walked into the reception hall looking for Alexa. She hadn't returned and he was kind of worried. He looked around and saw her sitting at a table by herself. He walked up quietly behind her so that she couldn't hear him and put his hands on her shoulder. He felt her jump and smiled to himself, "You shouldn't sit with your back to the door, love."

Samantha walked into the reception area, taking in all the purple decorations, the dance floor and the lilac colored cake. It was a relief that the ceremony was over, now maybe she could relax and enjoy herself for a little while. Another happy couple joined together, that was nice and she was happy for both of them, but right now she was just looking for a little fun.

She walked to one of the tables and took a seat. If nothing else, at least she could observe the action!

Anita entered the hall. Her mouth opened slightly at the awe inspiring scene before her. She saw a table and sat down next to a woman (ooc: Samantha Rose).

"Hello, I'm Anita Volt. I work in the Broom Regulatory Control department," she said.

J. J. Starr walks in the recpeption area and sits next to Samantha Rose. " "Like to dance Samantha?" Joe Jon Montcenaggio asked her.

"It seems like it. I presume people just came for free food and drinks. No one really looked like they were concentrating on the ceremony. Everyone was involved in their own conversations." Edie looked around the reception hall and still couldn't get used to all the purple in the room.

Egypt and Nathan were the last to leave the seating area. They had sat there leaning into each other and whispering very bad things. They finally got up and Nathan went off to check and see what he had to do, so Egypt walked into the hall by herself. Her Blanhniks clacked all the way there. She stopped and removed her wedding robe. She had worn a black cocktail dress that fastened around her neck and was backless. This was the first time she had been able to dress up and look beautiful, and she was going to have the best looking man on her arm.

She folded her purple robes and placed it into her expanded handbag, as she walked into the hall. She scanned the room and saw that most people were milling about and waiting before they went in. She didn't know if they were supposed to be sitting in assigned seats or whatnot so she went and sat down at a table furthest from the head table as she could get. She didn't know the newlyweds personally so she didn't think she should be be near the head table.

"You really shouldn't terrify poor young ladies like that, just because you can identify people's footsteps and other weird things like that doesn't mean everyone can!" Easing a seat out of it's place with her foot she made him sit down.
"I was wondering where you'd got too. They haven't posted seating arrangements so I'm currently trying to find our seats. Name plates would be helpful too." She said with annoyance. Looking around at all the other confused people she took out her wand and began we curling her hair. All her running around had caused it to fall. Sighing, because her hair never did what she wanted she turned back to Warren.
"Have you seen Forrester?"

Warren laughed at Alexa's response and fell into the seat she pulled out with a tired grunt, turning it slightly so that he could see the door. "I was in the ceremony room...remember you said you would come back..." He looked around the room and gagged slightly, What is with all the purple? "Well if they haven't placed name plates then I guess we can sit anywhere." He leaned back and placed his hand behind his head. He stared around at the people and saw Egypt sitting by herself. He waved and smiled at her and then turned back toward Alexa. "I haven't seen Forrester anywhere."

"I was gone 5 minutes and already you start fretting. Someone is turning into my mother...." She said with a laugh, hoping he'd take it as a joke.

Alexa saw Warren wave Egypt over and smiled at her. She probably wanted to sit next to Nathan so Alexa moved across.
"He probably went downstairs to HQ. Or he might be somewhere in this huge place"

Warren frowned slightly at being compared to her mother. "Yea, well, after 10 I call in the calvary to come rescue you," he teased. He watched as Alexa switched seats and looked back at Egypt. He wasn't sure if she would join them but he hoped she would. Nathan had mentioned that she needed some more friends. "So when is this party going to start? I'm starving."

"Really? The cavalry...now isn't that romantic." She smiled. Reminiscing at the thought of several horsed men coming to her rescue....
Just when I thought I was happy with one.
She laughed at the thought. Warren looked at her oddly. She laughed again.
"Is that all you think about? Food? Goodness. The party starts when the Ice Queen herself comes in here. All this purple is just sick.....hopefully the food isn't too....."

Egypt saw Warren waving at her. She remembered the man from the breakroom. Since Nathan was busy with the security she was alone and she didn't know anyone else but Shane. She gathered up her things and walked over to their table. "Good day Warren and Alexa." She said to them in turn. "Is this seat taken?" She asked them hoping they would let her sit, she wasn't keen on sitting at a table alone just waiting for Nathan.

Epaulet Esterre entered the reception, making a beeline for the nearest waiter. He wanted a drink and some refreshments. He looked to his adoring fan, seeing if he was still with him.

Edie looked around and sat at a table. She didn't really know anyone so she sat at a table by herself. She pulled out the purple covered chair, sat down, crossed her legs elegantly, smoothed her purple dress over her legs, fixed the purple strap on her purple shoes, moved the purple table cloth off her legs. She put her purple hand bag on the purple table and looked around the purple room. Okay, officially sick of purple now. she thought to herself.

Warren smiled as he saw Egypt finally come over. "Hello, Egypt. No, by all means please sit," he said as he gestured to the seat by Alexa. He thought she would be more comfortable next to her, as he remembered how she reacted to him in the break room. "How are you?" He smiled at her and looked around, "Where is Nathan?" He asked a bit concerned as to why everyone was disappearing.

She smiled down and smoothed the back of her dress as she sat down. She crossed her legs and scooted up under the table. "Thank you Warren. I was afraid I would have to suffer through this alone." She admitted to them. She looked around the room as well trying to spot Nathan. "I am fine thank you very much. Just nervously planning our wedding." She said referring to her and Nathan. "I have no idea. We were um, being a little free spirited at the ceremony, so I suspect he his trying to look busy. Though I hope he will be able to sneak away for a dance with me." She was looking forward to that dance.

Dora left the ceremony seating area and followed other ministry employees to the Reception Hall. Here, everything was purple as well...
She looked around unsure. Dora didn't want to sit alone, but she didn't know the people that were already there.
With the risk of seeming weird, she finally sat down alone at one of the tables by the window, hoping that someone would join her.

"Hello Egypt" Alexa smiled at her.
"I'm sure Nathan will be here soon, we don't really have much to do now that the Ceremony is over" Alexa swirled to face Egypt.

"Wedding? Egypt pick any colour except purple! I'm begging you! I've had it up to here with purple" Laughing she hoped Egypt felt welcome.

She looked at Egypt's gorgeous attire and hoped she hadn't made too many creases in her dress.
"Free spirited? I can't talk" She blushed and got up to get a drink.
"What would you two like? Egypt? Warren?"

She looked around once more seeing if she could spot her soon to be husband. "I hope so." She told her. "Our wedding is going to be in hues and shades of blue and yellow. They are my favorite colors." she told her. The entire wedding wasn't going to be blue and yellow though for Merlin's sake. Egypt wasn't insane. "Nathan picked the place, and I go to choose the colors."

She blushed at the mention of free spirits. Her and Nathan had acted totally reckless, and she was glad that neither of them got into trouble for it. She had to smile, it was fun and she would have taken any punishment. "I will take a gilly water, please." She smiled at her. She was being so sweet.

"That's gorgeous! The flowers could be in yellow and blue and the bridesmaid's dresses in light blue and then..." She stopped and blushed noticing Warren was staring at her oddly.
"I've been to a few weddings." She smiled. She saw Egypt blush and could only fathom what they'd had been up to during the ceremony, not that her and Warren had been much better.
"Gillywater? Okay. " She walked off towards the bar.
