Family surnames - In other words, all of that family is invited should they want to and be available to come.

-Sedgwick
-Carter
-Barnett
-Malkin
-Ater
-Koshiba
-Devearux
-Finch
-
-

Of course, it wont just be the people with these surnames.
Death Eaters, feel free to attend but remember that Larissa and her family don't know about Grakul being a Death Eater.. Although, that would make a brilliant 'DUM DUM DUM!' for the party.. Maybe Larissa's daughter will find out.

Spoiler

Right, as this may be quite a large thread, I want everyone to know some basic rules.
Now, you should know the board rules, if not, brush up on them.
Here are a few rules I am highlighting;

1. No deaths. This is a wedding. Yes, Death Eaters may be attending but Larissa herself is not a Death Eater and she doesn't even know her husband is one. If anyone wishes to kill people after the party then it is up to them. They should start their own thread and make sure they have admin approval.

2. No extreme romance. You should no what I mean. People kissing is fine but this is a wedding and not a speed dating service. It doesn't mean there cannot be ANY romance but just please CONTAIN YOURSELVES!

3. No muggle bad language. Really now. You can say things which are thought of as 'minor swearwords in the wizarding world'. This means things like 'Oh Merlin!' or 'In the name of Merlin's saggy left buttock!' These are both in the Harry Potter books. If you know any others from the books then feel free to use them.

4. Godmodding- Occasionally, godmodding is unavoidable. If this is the case then please so the following or people may be annoyed; ((Sorry about godmodding, will edit if need be))
Or something along those lines.

 

[Grakul Gellantara]

Grakul was styling his hair, the mark upon his arm hidden neatly beneath his black suit and white sleeved shirt.
Although his soon-to-be-wife had wanted a large guest list, Grakul had decided to un-invite quite a few of these people.
He did not want many to witness this day as it could end in disaster.
Larissa and her daughter still did not know what he was and Grakul new that the secret would be out very soon.
He was going to tell them before that time, though, he was going to let them know.. But only after the wedding.

The great white tent, in which Grakul and Larissa would be joined, was in the center of a large field where cattle would usually graze. But it was winter now and the cattle were hidden away. The field had a light coating of frost and the sky was grey.
Grakul finished off his hair, added a little cologne and disapparated. He appeared in the field the next moment, and began walking to the tent.
Most of the guests had arrived and were now sitting on the hard white chairs inside the tent.
Grakul approached the front, straightening his suit.
He waited there with his best man for the bride to arrive.

 

[Davmorn Sedgwick]

Davmorn was pleased to have been asked to be best man for the wedding. He was happy for his mum and knew that the choice had been him or his cousin, Andros.
Davmorn was wearing a suit as well but this one was purple. He liked purple and had decided that would be exactly what he would wear.
Larissa's first wedding had been very much the usual wizarding wedding with people in long robes and so on. She'd asked especially that the men of the wedding wear suits. She'd wanted a more alternative effect.
Davmorn, looking fairly scruffy but not really caring, watched as several people walked in and out of the tent entrance, eyes to the skies and searching for Larissa.
There was a loud cheer as mostly female guests ran outside to watch the arrival of Larissa and her bridesmaids.

 

[Larissa Gellantara]

Larissa spent the morning getting ready. It had taken her hours to perfect her and her bridesmaids look.
When they were ready, they had stepped inside of a white thestral drawn carriage.
Larissa wondered how many people would just see a carriage floating to the wedding.
A charm was placed upon the carriage to hide it until they reached the wedding field.
Larissa clapped her hands together as she heard cheering. "Must be there," she said, butterflies in her stomach.
Her daughter sat squashed between the other two bridesmaids.
She was staring towards the 'window' and looking most unhappy. Her eyes were a cold grey which didn't at all match Larissa's light blue dress she was forced to wear.
Larissa herself wore a puffy white dress, her hair wavy and tucked behind her ears.

As they came to land upon the ground, Larissa sent the bridesmaids out first. Her daughter was the only one to reluctantly obey.
Larissa then stepped out herself and found Andros who linked arms with her and began to walk into the tent.
As her father had died quite some time ago, Larissa had asked Andros to give her away and he had agreed.
A long white robe hung over Larissa's back.
She reached the front of the tent and the wedding ceremony began.

 

[Grakul Gellantara]

Grakul smiled as he watched his bride approach on the arm of her nephew.
She looked beautiful. Grakul stood there and listened as the ceremony began, taking his bride's hand.

 

[Andros Carter]

Andros, in robes of black, linked arms with his aunt who had raised him like her own.
He was smiling as they walked up the middle of the tent together.
Then, Andros' job was over.
He sat down near the front next to one of the girls attending who he immediately began making eyes at.

 

[Adrianne Finch]

Adrianne had been surprised when she had been invited to the wedding but had nonetheless attended.
She was now 8 months pregnant and her stomach bulged in her deep purple robes.
Her red eyes followed the bride to the tent front and watched the ceremony. It was quite long and the inside of the tent was warming up rapidly with so many people's body heat.
She was one of the only ones at the wedding to know the groom's secret.

 

[Emerald Bones]

Emerald had not been invited but she did not care.
Her only surviving daughter was re-marrying and she wanted to witness this.. Especially as she sensed something was wrong with the groom. This made the 71 year old even more excited about being at the wedding.
She turned up in her best green velvet robes and perched on a chair at the back of the tent.
As much as Emerald wanted to say hello to her grandchildren, she knew she couldn't give herself away but it seemed that someone had noticed her..

---

Larissa was walking behind her mother when she noticed someone familiar in the corner of her eyes.
She moved swiftly over to them, her mother not seeming to notice she'd lost a bridesmaid, and sitting down beside the old woman.
"Grandma!" Larissa beamed happily. It was Emerald who had encouraged her into the dark arts in the first place and Larissa loved her for it. "I've missed you."
That was when the whispered discussion began. Emerald had guessed about Grakul and now she was going to tell her granddaughter.

 

[Adrianne Finch]

Adrianne could hear what the old woman a row behind her was saying and she raised her eyebrows.
Apparently, she wasn't the only one who knew about Grakul's past-time.
"Surely you should not be discussing such matters in an open place if you wish this wedding to continue." She turned round, hissing at the old woman who was in fact her 'step-mother' by default.

 

[Ioan Finch]

Ioan stepped into as the ceremony began in his black dress robes. He quickly scanned the area and spotted Adrianne sitting several rows up. He quickly strode in and dropped into the seat in time to see Adrianne turn around and say something to the old lady and young girl sitting behind her. The young soon-to be-father raised his eyebrow at Adrianne wondering what was going on and placed his hand over her own in an attempt to calm her.
