There were several naysayers who insisted that Hyperion and Zahara couldn't organize the large, elaborate wedding of their dreams in the short timeline they'd decided upon, but the couple had certainly proven each of them wrong. The most difficult part had been choosing the venue, though they'd both rather fallen in love with the pavilion garden. Transforming it to fit their gothic lovers aesthetic had not been nearly as difficult as one might imagine.
Unsurprisingly, they'd flipped the script in their garment choices, with Hyperion wearing a white suit and Zahara wearing a black dress that nearly brought him to his knees when he first saw her in it as she walked down the aisle lined with blood red rose petals toward him. They exchanged their vows in front of nearly three hundred people, the handfasting that followed as magical as every stage of their relationship had seemed to be to him.
The reception followed the ceremony, with a formal meal served first. After the meal, Hyperion and Zahara cut the cake, though there was an assortment of cupcakes and other desserts to choose from as well, in order to accommadate their extensive guest list. As the couple went out to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife, the food dishes were cleared away and tables moved so there was dancing beneath the dome as well as outside. A variety of hor d'oeuvres were brought out and scattered about the tables for the guests to nibble on throughout the night.
When the sun set, fairy lights lit up the garden, twinkling in all the trees and scattered around the shrubs and hedges. The music alternated between live music and a talented DJ that was not Zahara's ex-son-in-law. The music continued late into the evening, with the drinks flowing, and the property fully reserved for the celebration.
