Nodding slightly, I thought for a moment.
"Would you come with me?" I asked Evangeline. "I want something wonderful, but I don't want to look like I was just a puppet to the latest fashions. Would you help me?"

I felt a strange feeling, I wanted to scoff and say "Me, help you? Not likely." But I couldn't, I did really like Caraf and there was a strange sense of want. Elliot was my ony sibling but I had always craved female company, a sister perhaps. I nodded silently then smiled.
"I'd love to help." I said softly then too a sip of champagne.

I beamed, overjoyed that she had agreed to help. It wasn't that I was flattering her or being overly kind, I happened to think she had wonderful taste in clothing. Everything I had seen her in was beautiful and suited her perfectly, I really did want her help.
"Thank you," I told her, smiling so wide it almost hurt. I looked to Elliot, wondering what he made of all this.

I smiled at the intereaction between Evie and Caraf, all worry I had about how Evie would take Caraf's presence was gone. I smiled to Caraf and sighed then looked back at Evie.

I couldn't help but smile back at the beaming smile of Caraf, I nodded.
"Its my pleasure, I couldn't have my sister-in-law looking plain on her wedding day." I waving my hand dramatically.

Laughing, I raised my glass to her, "Thank you dear sister-in-law, I would hate to look plain, or ridiculous."

I smiled. "I think even if you wore a burlap sack you would never look ridiculous or plain." I said leaning over and kising her cheek.

"Thank you," I said, blushing softly. "I think you are biased though. Besides, even if it was the height of fashion, I am not wearing burlap to my wedding."

I chuckled taking a sip of my drink just as the server arrived.
"Are we ready to order?" He asked smiling to me.
"I'll have this." I said pointing to the menu, he nodded and took the menu looking to Caraf.

"I will have this," I told him, indicating the dish I had selected. "Thank you."
He looked to Elliot next.

I handed him the menu.
"The roast beef please." He took the menu and bowed leaving us.
"When should we start wedding preparations?" I asked looking to Caraf.

"Start?" I asked, laughing lightly. "Weren't we just working out the whole dress thing?"

I shrugged. "Oh, was that planning." I chuckled innocently.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Men," I said. "Yes, that was planning, some would say it's the most important part."

Shrugging again I took a sip of champagne. "I suppose, but then again so are the guests." I said mockingly.

"Ah yes, the guests," I said, sighing softly and shaking my head.
"Just how many guests do you think there will be?" I asked honestly. I knew that my total number of people to invite was going to be nothing compared to the minimum number he would invite.

I thought about it for a moment. "Elua," I said softly realizing how many people would want to be invited. "I'm glad the town house has plenty of room." I said after a moment.

I felt that now familiar panic rising at the look on his face and took a long drink of champagne, and then a deep breath.

I reached out and squeezed Caraf's hand. "Don't worry my love, we'll set a limit. No more then five hundred."

It's odd, actually feeling the blood drain from your face. "Please tell me you are joking," I said softly.

I looked to Evie who sort of shrugged and I looked back to Caraf. "Is that alot?"

"If I try, I can think of perhaps two dozen people I want there. Do you really have enough people to fill up the rest of the 500?"

I shrugged. "I know perhaps a hundred or so in guests that I want there personally. But I am a Sovereign Duc and that means making everything that I do is political. There are many that will need to be invited simply because I have to."

I wondered how this man who used to present himself as reclusive knew 100 people he personally wanted to invite to the wedding. Perhaps I should expand my parameters as well and invite the entire Night Court, it would be interesting then.
"Are you completely opposed to eloping?" I asked him, only barely teasing.

I chuckled. "I'll make sure its small." I said nodding. "I'm sure there is something I can do."

Drawing another deep breath I shook my head slightly. "I don't want you to do anything that will cause issues, it's just… that many people seems less like our wedding and more like a national event."

I nodded leaning over to kiss her cheek. "I'll do my best to keep my side as small as possible." I said softly knowing I didn't want a mess of people just as much as she.
